Sara Quin also pointed out the fact that the lack of representation of queer women. especially in traditional media like television and music, still causes problems for queer youth."In a lot of cases, when we don't have people to look up to, it can make figuring out our identities even more confusing," she said.
The panelists also spoke about finding ways to work as activists in quarantine — K. Flay said that she's been working hard at helping make change without promoting her actions on social media."One of the things that's been making me a better community member and ally is just doing things that are not visible to other people," she explained."It's helped me to learn in these environments, rather than worrying about what I am putting out.
