In the past several years, LGBTQAIU individuals have made great strides in representation in comics. The next frontier for queer creators is tackling characters whose experiences straddle not only a queer identity but the other identities that make people who they are: race, ethnic background, gender, religion, ability, and more. What are the unique challenges facing writers and artists who wish to examine intersectionality of identities? How do a character's additional identities complement or complicate their lives and loves? Moderator Viktor Kerney (StrangeLore, Prism Comics board member), and panelists Kristen Enos (Active Voice, Web of Lives), Sean Z. Maker (Bent-Con, Ramonah Rising), William O. Tyler (Queerbait), Sonya Saturday (Sonya Saturday's Comics and Art), and others will discuss creating characters and stories that highlight diversity and inclusion.
