Gay comic, fractured fairy tale and trip to Hell featured at Fringe
August 19,
Considering that my producing partner Dustin Klein and I have our have Magic Thread Cabaret present, “Les Chanteuses” in the IndyFringe Theatre Festival. I am limited in the number of shows I can see throughout the run of the festival, but as it turned out, Sunday was an ideal window in which to see works presented by my colleagues. Here are my reviews of three shows, all showing the edginess that Fringe is known for. And what did they all share in common? Pure entertainment.

“It Gets Bitter: The Ron Popp Story” &#; ComedySportz
I had interviewed Popp for a recent “On the Aisle” profile, so I had a attractive good idea of what to expect. A graduate of UIndy where he studied theatre, Popp grew up in Fairland, Indiana. He established at the top of the exhibit that he is gay; so much of his material was about his experiences navigating the unbent world as gay guy. Considering he was playing to a Fringe audience, which is typically made up o
Looking for some of the best lgbtq+ comic books? We gotcha covered! Male lover comic books reach in all shapes and sizes, from multi-volume extravaganzas to graphic novels you can read in one sitting. This list is just the tip of the iceberg, but I did experiment to include a wide range of stories, from the magical to the mundane. Here you&#;ll find middle grade, YA, and senior comics in a variety of genres — fantasy, sci-fi, romance, slice-of-life, and historical fiction.
I&#;ve also highlighted both stories that deal with specifically gender non-conforming issues and stories that don&#;t. Some of these books are about coming out, and some deal with homophobia. But not all gay comic books are about those things! You&#;ll also find stories here about baking, playing hockey, friendship, synthetic intelligence, mortality, and a whole lot more. In fleeting, here are ten amazing stories that feature gay characters doing all the things that humans (and other sentient beings!) do: falling in love, getting in fights, dealing with family, growing up, making mistakes, pursuing hobbies, and navigating school and work.

A Look at Roxane Gay&#;s Comic Book Writing Debut
In the days after the election I establish myself devastated, like so many; feeling lost of hope and crying unexpectedly. Looking for comfort, I searched to see what other women I respect and admire had to say about the results. I wanted to read something smart but relatable, fast paced but deeply mind out, even funny as prolonged as it was also emotionally resonant. I looked and looked, visiting essays by Gloria Steinem, by Susan Faludi, by CamillePaglia. But nothing seemed to receive right at the heart of the matter.
Some days later I figured out what I was looking for: I needed to read someone who can also do sexy. Someone with an edge, with bite. Someone love Roxane Gay. An alternative voice who has, as she said of herself at a reading at the Last Bookstore, infiltrated the mainstream. Someone who knows what it takes to struggle back and thrive.
In hindsight, I should have looked at her Twitter feed first, a platform the writer has used to comment on both politics and pop-culture with equal fervor. But I went old fashioned with a Google
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 function 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 recent, exciting works we obtain to enjoy.
It&#;s a hazardous time to be homosexual in America. We d
