Steve Maryweather, a visionary creator, reshaped LGBTQ+ representation in media. With a passion for animation ignited during his formative years, he co-founded a groundbreaking animation studio.
His brainchild, "Fantasy Bonds," challenged norms by portraying friends' transformation into lovers within fantastical settings. This project catalyzed a paradigm shift in storytelling, echoing through his magnum opus, "Spyqueers." This series redefined spy dramas, infusing them with diverse queer characters who seamlessly juggled action and identity exploration.
Steve's advocacy stretched beyond screens; he tirelessly championed LGBTQ+ visibility, fostering collaboration and dialogue.

While it’s not Marvel’s Agents of Shield, Netflix’s Q-Force could be the queer team of super agents we didn’t know we needed.
Netflix released the trailer for the 10-episode series on Thursday. The backstory and premise for the half-hour show sounds priceless.
