Media watchdog GLAAD released its Studio Responsibility Index on Thursday, using its annual ranking of queer representation in mainstream films to stand with striking unions SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America.
Convening in-person at the Los Angeles LGBTQ Center’s Ed Gould Plaza in Hollywood, leadership from both show business unions, queer talent and GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis spoke of the dangers that work stoppages from the strikes pose to inclusive storytelling.
“The fight for worker empowerment and the fight for authentic LGBTQ plus representation in media is all part of the same struggle,” said Duncan Crabtree Ireland, chief negotiator for the actors union. Crabtree Ireland’s profile has risen significantly since he appeared alongside SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher at their fiery strike announcement press conference in July. He took the GLAAD event as a moment to make the personal political.

Michelle C. Bonilla has little doubt that gay male actors have it far harder than their female counterparts in Hollywood. Indeed, the openly lesbian Bonilla did not encounter discrimination in the industry because of her sexual orientation until fairly recently. Her newly acquired agent viewed her short "Slip Away" and was not happy. Written by and starring Bonilla, the autobiographical film details a troubled lesbian relationship. It was being shown on the festival circuit and generating good buzz."The agent sent me an email saying he and I did not represent the 'same type,' " she recalls. "I had heavy-hitting people from the casting world at that same screening embrace me and support me. I had tons of talent and businesses helping me on the film, including corporations. It was hard to believe that someone who had seen the same film had such a completely opposite response. You'd think an agent.

Question: I had just finished watching Run Fatboy Run, and I was raving to my friend about how beautiful and talented I think Thandie Newton is. My friend said that Thandie is bisexual...is this true? Is she definitely bisexual?
— Lindsey, New Orleans, Louisiana
Thandie Newton
Answer: Since it's really up to the individual in question to officially label their sexual orientation, I think it's safer to say that she's "potentially" bisexual.
Actress Thandie Newton (W., Crash) is married to director Ol Parker, who made many new lesbian friends when he wrote and directed the romantic comedy Imagine Me & You (2005), starring Piper Perabo and Lena Headey.
