SUMMARY:Queer Representation in Media: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Duck Prints Press \n\n\n\nIn the past decade\, there has been dramatic progress in the commonness and availability of media that includes LGBTQIA+ characters and themes. In this panel\, we’ll posit a definition of “queer media” that establishes a baseline of what features we think separate queer media from other media (beyond the obvious “there are queer people in it\,” of course) and why these distinctions matter. We’ll delve into the history of queer representation in media\, chat about the changes we’ve observed over our lifetimes and give our own views on the state of the diverse books\, shows\, movies\, comics and other media across many genres that now feature queer characters. As all of our panelists are queer and are writers\, we’ll also touch on how the queer representation we’ve encountered has led us to tell our own stories in our own voices. We hope you’ll come and contribute your own views as well. We’d love to hear from you during the Q&A at the end of the session! Panelists: Claire Houck (Author\, Editor\, and Small Press Owner)\, Tris Lawrence (Author)\, Catherine E. Green (Author)\, and Shea Sullivan (Author).
