You know, I actually almost said "if anyone can contradict me it'd have to be Kevin".

Odd. So let me ask you this: I seem to remember that Seomin (I know I'm childish but that name still makes me giggle) mentioned the amount that Miramax was donating to you and that you said something like your pockets weren't as deep as Weinstein's. Did he say that GLAAD was ASKING for $100,000? That makes sense to me. Otherwise it's just completely unethical of them to imply that the Weinsteins were giving up the cash.

Anyway...I maintain the MSF is a great cause and no one should feel badly about having given them money. If you felt forced into it I'm sorry, but it WAS your idea. Blame it on hetwhitmo* guilt.

I'm also having a majorly shitty day, and week, and life so please, if it seems like I'm coming off full of attitude, disregard me.

*Heterosexual white male. "Catholic guilt" would probably be more appropriate, but more presumptuous.

: : If I recall correctly, either Miramax or one of the Weinstein brothers
: did donate $100,000 to the Matthew Shepherd Foundation (which, bear in
: mind, is not affiliated with GLAAD), or at least promised to do so.

: Nope. No one at the 'Max gave a dime, nor promised to. T'was me who gave
: ten g's to the Matthew Shepherd Foundation.

: :It seems to me that GLAAD contacted Miramax first. They then called
: Kevin, let him know that they weren't happy, that Miramax was donating to
: the MSF, Kevin said he would too, asked how much Miramax was giving, GLAAD
: said $100,000, Kevin cringed, and I don't remember who suggested $10,000
: instead.

: I was sent a fax by Scott Seomin. I called him after reading said fax.

: : Yes, I paid close attention to this one. If anyone can contradict me,
: please do so nnnnn...OW.

: Consider yourself not so much contradicted as having the matter cleared up
: for you.
