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!

I don't watch very many vids, but since you asked, I fell into YouTube looking for vids of two of my favourite couples right now.

So first, there's Vivian/Aster from this web series, Anyone But Me, which I've vaguely mentioned before in a couple places, I think, but I keep meaning to rec it officially to the entire world -- but I really want to make a huge post about it, and when I remember that, I don't have the time, so... yeah. Anyway. Of the ones I've seen, I'm completely in love with Alright. I also love Falling (Is Like This), I Love You, Don't Let Me Go, Innocence, and What About Us.

Second, while their story wasn't... tied together as much as I would've liked, Gretchen/Claire of Heroes are definitely one of my favourite tv couples of this year, so here's some vids about them that I like: Use Somebody, Can't Stand It, ES Posthumus, Long Shot, Secret, I Will Possess Your Heart, and I'd Come for You.

/doesn't watch vids, whaaaat.
