Catch the GLBTQ panel, even if you missed it

Deb Aoki posts a transcript of the Gay for You: Yuri & Yaoi Manga for GLBT Readers panel, which was definitely one of the best at NYCC. Moderated by Robin Brenner, and starring Chris Butcher, Scott Robins, Alex Woolfson, Leyla Aker, and Erica Friedman, it was both entertaining and informative. Deb posts the panel’s recommended reading list as well. Check it out!
