VVC Queer Vidshow: call for suggestions!

So, the VVC organisers have had a moment of madness and given me a vidshow to run. I am going to need your help!

The vidshow is We're Here, We're Queer, and it's pretty much what it says on the tin: vids that are focused on canonically LGBT/queer/trans* characters. Opened up to gen, het, slash, poly, angst, drama, comedy, in fandoms big and small, hopefully there will be a bit of everything!

Friends, lend me your recs in any and all fandoms - Saving Face, Transamerica, Skins, Queer as Folk, Torchwood, The L Word, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy, Ugly Betty, RPF fandoms, anywhere there are queer people! Extra bonus points for people who can point me towards vids focused on queer non-white characters and on genderqueer/trans* characters.

Please feel encouraged to nominate your own vids, and also, should you happen to feel inspired by the theme and think you could make a vid by June 1st, having a premiere or two would be pretty awesome. Official-ish forms will be up on the VVC website shortly, but in the meantime, rec me things! :D

Also, I would seriously love to hear any and all advice on VJing and vidshows at cons from both VJers and audiences, given that I have never attended one much less organised one before!

Sources which might yield vids with queer characters of colour. Can't say for sure on vids for the first two:

Greek, Noah's Arc, Eastenders

Soap opera queer couples for whom you will definitely find achingly schmoopy and emo fanvids on YouTube:

Olivia/Natalia (Guiding Light)
Luke/Noah (As the World Turns)
Luke/Reid (ATWT)
Kyle/Oliver (One Life to Live)
Christian/Olli (Verbotene Liebe)
Christian/Syed (Eastenders)
