ATX Festival Panel: "Bury Your Tropes" presented by GLAAD (2016)

For as long as LGBTQIA viewers have seen themselves on screen, their stories have been subject to any number of damaging and stereotypical tropes — and while there are more and more series leading the charge to break stereotypes and push representation forward, the recent LGBT Fans Deserve Better movement has made it clear these tropes persist. In this conversation, a range of creatives discuss the importance of inclusion, intersectionality, and positive LGBTQIA representation on TV. Panelists: Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Carina MacKenzie, Krista Vernoff, Carter Covington, Megan Townsend Moderator: Lesley Goldberg (The Hollywood Reporter) Visit atelevisionexperience.com for this and many more full ATX panels and Q&As NOW! www.atxfestival.com Season 6: June 8-11, 2017 www.artsandlabor.co
