Lee “The NEGOTIATOR” Newton from SourceFed on YouTube.  She rocks!

Lawl, I feel like that too, I don’t like to have a certain identity because I don’t always like the same sex at the same time.  It’s a serious struggle and I wish I could be that open about it.  Oh well, will work and grow.

Queer (English Version)
Alright friends, I got the English version online! I just wanted the first day’s worth of hits to go straight to Projet 17 mai, since they’re the ones who asked me to contribute, y’know? /:)

DISCLAIMER: Since this comic is addressing sexual identity, I only included sexualities under the Queer umbrella— although, obviously, queer also encompasses many gender identities as well.

As I said in my post debuting the French version,

Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me).

Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.

The English version of that comic I posted earlier.

I love Erika Moen’s work so much, I found DAR when I was first coming to terms with my sexuality and gender and it was amazing to see someone’s voice that I could identify with and still identify with. I appreciate the openness and honesty in her work and she (and many other comic artists on tumblr) have inspired me to keep working on comics.
