On wednesday night we've attended a discussion board at the WGAW (Writers Guild of America West) thanx to our friend Donald Martin :-) The topic "From the Margins to the Mainstream: LGBT Characters Then and Now" Moderated by Oscar and Emmy winning filmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.

Among the panelists: The super sexy, Josh Barry, executive at ABC.

Candis Cayne, from Dirty Sexy Money, where she plays Billy Baldwin's transgender lover. This is the first time in television history a recurring transgender role is being played by a transgender actress. She lives in LA with her fiancé DJ Marco and their six year old daughter.
