The Geek Embassy Talks: Sexual Identities
Have you heard terms for sexual identity and wondered what they’ve meant? Do you have questions about what it means to be ace, bi, or pan? Gay or queer? A diverse panel of writers and podcasters from The Geek Embassy want to help you understand the ever-changing and growing landscape of sexual identities. We will share definitions and discuss how the representation of sexual identities has grown over time with some of our favorite geeky passions: Comic books, video games, movies, television shows, etc. This interactive panel will field questions from participants.
