I do what I can to not pigeonhole them to just trans/nonbinary characters if I can help it--There're all kinds of characters, after all.

I love it when they get the chance to perform what they're comfortable with, as opposed to being limited to what others may assume.

160 years ago, the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally received their freedom.
 
Today, we celebrate the enduring fight for freedom and continue advocating for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

A black post with white text that reads: The murder of Jonathan Joss, a queer and Native American voice actor of the Comanche and White Mountain Apache tribes, has frightened and saddened the Queer Vox community. This hate crime is a stark reminder how vulnerable LGBQTIA+ people are. We are so often demonized by the twisted rhetoric in our current politics and media, it feels as if we walk through the world with targets on our backs. Jonathan’s acting work remains not only as a memorial to his talent, but also a testament to the importance of authentic representation. The more the voices of the underrepresented are heard and tied to the very real beating hearts behind them, the more this divided nation will understand and defend us. In that pursuit, we must never be silent. Our hearts go out to Jonathan’s husband Tristan and to all who knew and loved him.

Ready for an insider’s look at the world of animation and video game voiceover?

At this Wednesday’s Ask the Sensei, we’re chatting with the Voice of Boss Baby, J.P. Karliak! 🎉

As we continue to face legislative, social, and cultural challenges, we all must continue to brace and uplift each other.

All of us at Queer Vox wish our community, LGBTQIA+ siblings, & allies a happy #PrideMonth!

Pride is a time to celebrate the diversity of the queer experience, however #Pride is more than a celebration, it is a reminder how tenuous our freedoms are & how critical the support of our allies is.

Special thanks to @onewingedchris.bsky.social for helping set up this amazing event!

We're out here at @geekyteas.bsky.social celebrating our amazing community! So excited to meet the members of our Discord, both the lurkers and the posters!
