LGBTQ+ perspective on BL/GL (+lgbt comic promos)
As a gay man, I think there is a whole other issue with the sentence "if your gay story makes the gays uncomfortable you are doing something wrong" in its self.
The problem here is that within the community itself - at least that's my trial when talking about it - there is the same generalisation going on that non LGBTQ people "from the outside" train. Putting the taste of a whole community which is based on something so vague and (ideally) diconnected from personality favor sexuality. (The thing I am refering here to is gay men, which I believe to be the most represented part of the community, to a big part probably thanks to the linear yaoi fanbase you described. When it comes to other underrepresented groups within the queer community, then I can't speak off them.)
For me, I really like typical yaoi. I love the romanticised watch on it - I love stories in which people fall in adoration and just become joyful together. I love that. And which stories I enjoy or not are rarely connected to the type of "good" or "bad" representation. Mostly honestly on story and how attractive I find the involved parties. And when someone tr

Supporting Queer Comics &#; Creators
In the early days of Comic Book Herald, I&#;d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a &#;queer sci-fi saga&#; (or some such), and I&#;ll fully admit, I did not understand what sexuality had to do with the promotion. What did the &#;queerness&#; of this operate have to do with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book?
I&#;m not a part of the community, and there&#;s a lot I still don&#;t understand, but I see now that there&#;s inherent value in marginalized perspectives in story, and there&#;s worth in supporting the voices that aim to tell them. So many of my favorite comic books are either directly or indirectly about queer people, relationships, and community, and vast amounts of my favorite comic book creators identify as gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual person or other identifiers in the LGBTQIA+ range. The simple reality is that the more queer stories and creators at the forefront of comics, the better variety of brand-new , exciting works we receive to enjoy.
It&#;s a treacherous time to be homosexual in America. We don&#;t get to simply solve that by supporting gender non-conforming comics creators. But in addition to substantive

Mucho, mucho beefcake. Please! :) I'm going to fetch myself in trouble with this, but you aren't the onlygay guy on here, you know. :P I mean, I'm not, but I know other guys who are.

What a pity, though. :P And you haven't even seen my photos yet. ;) Speaking of which, I really ought to get those up here Kinuki wrote: Joking aside, I am a bit surprised to know I'm not the only gay guy here. The poll in the furry board, at least, shows otherwise. Besides, how many openly lgbtq+ guys do you observe around here? :P Now that another's posted, I can go, "Yay! I'm not alone." :) Well, I suppose that's fair enough . |
