Queer advocacy group Out In Hollywood has released its fourth annual list of unproduced queer-focused television pilot scripts of the past year.
“Anti-trans, anti-drag, and anti-queer legislation are sadly on the rise, and we believe that by normalizing audiences’ understanding of people different from them, we can help foster greater acceptance and empathy,” founder Logan Kriete said.
The Out Loud List is created based on recommendations from the queer community in Hollywood. Scripts are evaluated based on criteria including the strength of the writer’s voice, viability of the project to be sold in today’s marketplace, conceptual freshness, and a modified version of GLAAD’s Vito-Russo Test (similar to the Bechdel Test).
For the first time, the writers were honored in person at Beyond Pride: The Future of Queer Television event.
