PHOTOS: Will & Grace, Golden Girls, Sex And The City, Other Gay Faves Get P.O.C. Makeovers

With contemporary hit series such as Empire, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, it’s easy to forget that television doesn’t have the best record for casting diversity. Artist Julio Salgado has rectified this historical oversight by recasting many of our favorite, queer-inclusive series from years gone by, including Will & Grace, My So-Called LifeSex and the City and The Golden Girls (just imagine an even sassier Dorothy!).  Salgado posted the series of illustrations on his Facebook page and with the following note titled “POC TV Show Takeover,” he explains his inspiration.

My version of Friends is set in Oakland. They are mostly college students of color that met at a multicultural center. You’ll see them at protests and rolling deep at First Fridays rolling their eyes at white people taking up too much space.
