This was recorded June 11, 2020, as part of a series of Pride Month virtual panels hosted by Awesome Con [https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeConDC] and Rose City Comic Con [https://www.facebook.com/RoseCityCC], part of LeftField Media [http://leftfieldmedia.com/leftfield-media-online/?fbclid=IwAR2H6a0m6k6ImQd4VatcHTHDYapu7g9ciXndCpUqSDlMlpm5tbCuYGietdg].  The Geek Embassy Talks: Sexual Identities  Have you heard terms for sexual identity and wondered what they’ve meant? Do you have questions about what it means to be ace, bi, or pan? Gay or queer? A diverse panel of writers and podcasters from The Geek Embassy want to help you understand the ever-changing and growing landscape of sexual identities. We will share definitions and discuss how the representation of sexual identities has grown over time with some of our favorite geeky passions: Comic books, video games, movies, television shows, etc. This interactive panel will field questions from participants. Ft. Regina McMenomy, Ph.D., Isabela Oliveira, Dante Buccieri, and Joanna Milius
