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.

Q-Force (the Q is for queer, of course) is voiced by LGBTQ+ luminaries including Wanda Sykes, Sean Hayes, and Patti Harrison, and Matt Rogers.
And the trailer for this roller coaster of queer antics is out now. The official synopsis for Q-Force, created by Hayes and Mike Schur (The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) reads:“Steve Maryweather, AKA Agent Mary, was once the Golden Boy of the American Intelligence Agency (AIA), until he came out as gay.
Unable to fire him, the Agency sent him off to West Hollywood, to disappear into obscurity. Instead, he assembled a misfit squad of LGBTQ+ geniuses.
