Show notes

Despite an outsized number of cancellations over the last few years, queer audiences have proven that they are hungry for not only representation in the broad sense, but LGBTQIA+ stories and characters that are as complex, frustrating, joyful, funny, romantic, and dark as any other.

Join actors Caitlin Stasey (Class of '07), Joel Kim Booster (Loot, Fire Island), Jerrie Johnson (Harlem) and Brian Michael Smith (9-1-1: Lone Star) for a conversation about specificity and universality in representation, the need for queer creators to have agency in telling their own stories, expectations within the LGBTQIA+ community, the future of queer storytelling, and more.

This conversation was recorded live at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.
