P1090807 SF Civil Rights Scorecard panel

Alexis Glynn Latner, Lee Thomas, Patrice Sarath, David B. Carren, Julia Mandala in the "SF Civil Rights Scorecard" panel at ApolloCon 2010. Unfortunately, this panel didn't say anything that I had not already heard. Most of the discussion time was spent on lamenting how "brown" characters become white on book covers, or in movie and TV show adaptations. Lee Thomas also pointed out that some writers are so uncomfortable writing about gay characters, that they make them indistinguishable from straight.

Here are some of my blog posts from ApolloCon 2010:

"Scientific Advancement vs. Social Stigma" panel.

"Con Season is in the Air: when a Young Fan's Mind Turns to Flirtation".
