This Saturday I'll be at Gaylaxicon 2009, the "international Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Convention for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered people and their friends."

The con runs from 10/9-10/11. On Saturday at 11:00 PM (late!) I'll be on a panel discussing GLBT characters in comics. Hey, the industry's come a long way on the journey from Northstar to Batwoman. Or has it?

Here's the details, and the full con schedule can be seen here:

Saturday 11:00 PM
CY2
State of GLBT Characters in Comics
A look at GLBT inclusion and representation in mainstream and independent super-hero comics and novels such as Perry Moore's Hero.
M. Nicholas Almand, Terrance Griep, Andy Mangels, Mike Penick, Dan Wallace

Guests include Margaret Weis, Terrance Griep, and Andy Mangels (the writer of what I still maintain is the best Boba Fett story of all time). Can't wait!
