Fifteen years ago shows like DAWSON'S CREEK (which aired TV's first prime-time gay kiss), and QUEER AS FOLK and THE L WORD (which for the first time focused on groups of queer friends while making no concession to the straight viewer) proved that gay characters could be seen as more than just caricatures and side-kicks.

Join the writers, creators, and actors of these series as they discuss what it meant to them to pave the way for an honest and equal representation and the increasingly diverse future of queer characters on the small screen.

Panelists: Dan Lipman & Ron Cowen (Queer as Folk), Gina Fattore (Dawson's Creek), and Peter Paige (Queer as Folk, The Fosters)

Moderator: Wilson Cruz (GLAAD and ATX Ambassador)
