There are more LGBT characters in mainstream comics, independents, Yaoi, and Yuri than ever before.

Tara Madison Avery (

Agnes Czaja (
Acrobats),
Jim McCann (

Bob Schreck (Legendary Comics), and other creators explore what makes a strong, realistic depiction of an LGBT character, what makes or breaks an edgy depiction of an LGBT character, and what is going too far. Moderated by
