Dear industry billionaires: Be an ally. For real this time. Stop making it a Pride punchline when patronizing traitors sell us out at the slightest shift of the breeze. Start making it a mission. Weāre targeted now because of your failure. Help dig us out or our vanishing will be on your hands. 8/8

Representation is about more than just jobs, itās the fight for our existence. Yet corporate entertainment will let whole communities disappear in favor of a buck, until one day theyāre sitting on a pile of money and a homogenous blob of bland, joyless content. So much for World of Color. 7/

This erasure happens in big & small ways constantly. Iām fortunate to have a lot of other gigs, but imagine if a new queer actor was hired for this as their first job and got erased. And lbh, because of oft incorrectly used authenticity, queer actors still donāt have many break-in opportunities. 6/8

And I know this was not a simple oversight because that was definitely my voice, but my name was omitted from the credits. Yet I still get residuals for this work. 5/8

But when I saw the episode, I heard my voice, but did not see a āFantastic Drag Queen.ā In their place was a brown bearded man in a turban. Not only was a queer character erased, but I was voicing an underrepresented person of color without consent. Which I would NOT have given. 4/8

Just one line? Who cares! I was still SO excited to get to play a drag queen on a kidās TV show, no matter how many lines, especially at a time when drag was actively being criminalized and hatefully, wrongfully targeted. Not to mention this show is a dream property. I love Moon Girl. 3/8
