Rob & Kay have BEEF. This extra-large episode covers a potentially sensitive topic. The treatment of minority & queer characters in your screenplays -- avoiding tropes and what to consider when writing outside your experience. They also name some great, current, examples of shows getting diversity, sensitivity and inclusion right, and shed light on they refer to as "jumping cat" clichés.
Our Weekly Resource:
Kay found a list of Diversity tests, from WeScreenplay, which you can apply to your script to make sure you are being inclusive.
