This past weekend, fans of comic books, sic-fi, gaming and other corners of pop culture descended on the Burbank Marriott Convention Center in L.A. for Bent-Con, the nation's biggest con for LGBT geeks and their friends.

There were panels on trans visibility and Gamergate, purveyors with original merchandise and games, and appearances by comic-book legend Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman, Uncanny X-Men), television writer Jane Espenson (Once Upon a Time, Husbands) and goth-lit icon Anne Rice.
