"The vast majority of Deaf stories focus on heterosexual cisgender white people. Perhaps this is because they are largely told by able-bodied filmmakers who seem to think that a character simply being Deaf is diverse enough."

"You see an openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina, who found her strength and life through art. And that is, I think, what we’re here to celebrate. So if anyone has ever questioned your identity, I promise you this — there is indeed a place for us.” — Ariana DeBose #Oscar🎉
Ariana DeBose has won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “West Side Story” at the #Oscars.

Representation in mainstream entertainment is undeniably important due to the broad reach it has, but… now more than ever, we should be promoting & uplifting queer INDIE films/filmmakers who are doing FAR more for the community than those who continually kowtow to conservatives.

While we are extremely grateful for the support we’ve been getting, we understand that other media outlets in Ukraine have been less lucky.
That’s why our partners launched a new global fundraising campaign to help independent Ukrainian media.

I've never seen queer characters do the thing they do like in Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping's 'Femme.' It's nominated at BAFTA this year, and I am really rooting for it. Read my interview with the filmmakers.
