A Message from UniCon: It is with great sadness that we must announce the cancellation of UniCon 2017. Unfortunately, due to some financial constraints, we fear that progressing onwards at this point would put the fans money at risk and we can't in good conscience do that. I can't describe to you in words how heartbroken we all are, particularly because we truly believe in the vision of a European LGBTQ convention. I hope that despite being disappointed beyond words, you can take some comfort in the fact that you will ALL receive a FULL refund (Including fees). These refunds may take up to 21 working days as the processing company is in the USA but rest assured, you will without a doubt get all your money back. Should you have any questions, please email director@uniconconventions.com.
Once again, please accept our sincerest apologies.

Sara Ramirez, Sarah Shahi and Amy Acker Among Actors at Convention Celebrating Queer Women on TV

ClexaCon, a new convention celebrating LGBTQ women in entertainment, generated such interest among both fans and actors that “Grey’s Anatomy” star Sara Ramirez turned up in Las Vegas to attend the event, which was held over the weekend.

“Got 4 hours of sleep 2 b at last day of ClexaCon & so worth it! Loving it,” Ramirez tweeted Sunday. The actress, who played Dr. Callie Torres on “Grey’s Anatomy” and is, like the character, bisexual, stayed all day Sunday and sat in the audience for a series of lively panels, including conversations about the representation of queer women of color in the media and why authentic representation for LGBTQ women matters. The panel about depictions of queer women of color in the media spontaneously re-convened as the convention drew to a close, and Ramirez participated in that conversation, staying on as long as she could to talk with panelists and take photos with attendees.

Ramirez was one of 2,200 attendees at ClexaCon, which took place March 3-5 at the Bally’s Hotel and Casino.

this new type of "queerbaiting" that's rising along with canon f/f ships is something that should be discussed, I feel ...

guys... we can criticize the writing for f/f relationships in media... without calling it queerbaiting

Ok sorry to add to this, but let me clarify a little, because I wasn't clear enough. We can still disagree, but yeah:

6. And that's it. :p Feel free to disagree, but I think it's a worthy and reasonable debate to have.

Imagine. For three days – THREE DAYS – people came together to celebrate queer female characters in entertainment and the creators and actresses responsible for their existence. More than that, they came together to celebrate the few queer women within the industry who have fought and continue to fight to be represented through the stories they produce, create and portray. This was not only represented in the convention’s panels, but in interviews as well. “It’s cool to see people finally standing up and saying we deserve more – we deserve to see heroes that reflect our stories,” said Natasha Negovanlis (Carmilla, Almost Adults) whose words reflected popular sentiments expressed by both fandom and industry during the event. It was this collective demand for representation that quickly blurred the lines between those onstage and those in the audience who all wanted the same thing: better representation. Queer women not only want to see their relationships accurately portrayed on TV and in film, but actresses and content creators want more opportunities to portray them.


This was most clear anytime actresses were asked about the struggles they faced when considering roles that portray “the typical woman.” For them, the most consistent issue lies within the way female characters are described during casting calls, which are oftentimes solely about their physical appearance. More specifically, these descriptions usually include the words “beautiful, but doesn’t know it.” I cannot honestly remember who among the actresses said these exact words because so many of them did, but I do remember the last time I heard it. I remember because by the time Jasika Nicole said these words in the LGBTQ Actresses in Film panel, most of the audience had heard them repeated as well, and we all laughed at the absurdity of it. That so many actresses, none of whom shared the same panels, had each separately mentioned this exact issue proves just how desperately they too want and need better representation.
