Gay oorn comics

Gender Queer

Delving into the comic with the knowledge that it has become one of the most banned books of our time, we were expecting quite the scandal.

We couldn’t have been more wrong. The Chosen Family

RuPaul famously said that as gay people we get to choose our families – and that’s the exact sentiment that The Chosen Family gives off.

Having started as a pet project in a university newspaper, the comic strip used satirical humor to bring attention to the issues faced by the LGBTQ community.

Quick-witted banter over the breakfast table. However, when a pair of other-worldly gladiators turn up at Pan’s doorstep looking for assistance, she decides to join them as they return to another planet. They give readers a more visual experience than books. The actor has spoken about dozens of fan encounters who expressed support for his representation of a gay comic book character.

How did the robot revolution come about? They are described as being a “ragtag band of space gays” (which is what we call our Close Friends list on Instagram), and each brings so much to the story.

Except Alastair is partially responsible.

When he tracks down his old partner Brendan, he discovers he has a new spouse…who looks suspiciously like Alastair. His distinct photorealistic drawing style proved popular with gay men for how risqué and scandalous they were. Kevin Keller (Riverdale)

Making his debut in the comic book Veronica #202, Kevin Keller made history by becoming the first gay character in Archie Comic history.

This comic is a snapshot of gay culture. 

Kyle’s Bed and Breakfast stars an in-the-closet sports star Brad, workaholic Lance, the tee-spilling Richard, and troubled teen Eduardo, who love winding up Kyle, the exhausted B&B owner. Check, Please!

Check, Please is Heartstopper on ice!

The first official issue in 1972 featured a lesbian coming out story – a bold move for the time. Over the years, they become close friends, which leads to Bitty feeling comfortable with coming out to him, and they eventually start dating. Andy Lippincott and Mark Slackmeyer (Doonesbury)

Hailing from the comic strip, Doonesbury, Andy Lippincott is an openly gay lawyer who is BFF with the main character, Joanie. 

The comic strip follows the day-to-day lives of an assortment of characters, from as high-ranking as the US President to a regular ole’ college student. 

Andy’s storylines typically focused on the hardships of being gay in the 1980s, his battle with HIV, and his eventual tragic AIDS-related death.

It introduced the openly gay character, Andy Lippincott, in 1976.

Nevertheless, this stunning gay webcomic follows the relationship between Sam, a rich banker from America, and Philip, a German art critic during the final years of the Weimar Republic.

They enjoy a whirlwind romance…that is until the rise of fascism strikes, and the Nazis come to power. 

In an interview with Pride, artist Tim Fish and author Gregory Lockard said that they want readers to draw a comparison between 1930s Berlin and the current social climate.

Liebestrasse was created to offer a balance of escapism to readers, as well as warning them that social progress isn’t always as secure as we’d like it to be: LGBTQ folk must continuously fight for their rights to be protected!
