Breaking Down the Binary (Live from ATX)

The TV Campfire

For LGBTQIA viewers, TV has long been a medium of binaries -- gay or straight; male or female; cisgender or transgender -- but the past few years have seen a swell of characters who aren’t so easily defined. From teen soaps, to cable dramedies, the spectrum of visibility has grown to include bisexual+ and non-binary characters who are more in tune with the viewers they represent, and less the product of tropes and stereotypes. Hear from the creators & creatives behind these series as they discuss what this visibility means for LGBTQIA audiences, and why breaking down the binary is an essential part of moving representation forward.

Episode Guests: Rhea Butcher (Take My Wife), Cameron Esposito (Take My Wife), Nico Tortorella (Younger), Aisha Dee (The Bold Type)

This conversation is presented with the The Syndication Project.
