My Dad's brother was gay, was with his boyfriend over 50 years. I never saw anything wrong with it. It was just a normal to us. Each to his or her own. I also worked a girl that was gay ( lovely girl, bit butch, but with the kindest heart). Poor girl was beat up a few times. This lead to her having a stroke at 35 years old, in a wheelchair for the rest of her life now. So sad😭😥
Bored Panda reached out to Amee once again to delve deeper into her world and creative process. In the vibrant world of comics, Amee's work stands out for beautifully portraying LGBTQ+ life. We were intrigued to learn more about how the artist decides which specific aspects or topics of LGBTQ+ life to bring to life in her artwork. "Lately it tends to be topical - what's going on in the news," Amee shared. "Then, I like to balance it with simple or joyful ideas inspired by my followers or my own experiences."
I wish everyone could be who they are without being told they’re a mental illness.
Starting a creative adventure often opens doors to new perspectives and insights. As we explore Amee's captivating comics, it makes us wonder: how has making these cartoons changed the way she thinks about the LGBTQ+ community and its many different stories? For the artist, it's a constant educational journey. "There are so many perspectives and experiences in the community, and so there is always more to learn. I try to push myself to share as much breadth as I can - and have learned a lot along the way, even about my own identity. Julia Shaw's book 'Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality' helped me a lot in that way. And then more recently 'Rainbow History Class: Your Guide Through Queer and Trans History' by Hannah McElhinney was also a book that also opened my eyes a lot."
According to Amee, an improvement in LGBTQ+ representation across underrepresented parts of the community would be incredible. "But first and foremost, we need to tackle the way the media and government are attacking parts of our community. The way the trans+ are currently represented in mainstream media has deadly real-world consequences. We need to uplift voices from the community to tell their stories, counteracting the lies that are being told on a much larger scale."
I was scared this would happen when I came out, luckily it didn’t but it did to some of my friends.
Amee revealed that she would like to continue broadening the topics in her art and work more with other creators to showcase their perspectives, using her platform to help uplift those voices.
Amee has released a vibrant and uplifting book titled "Queer Chameleon and Friends". This collection of comic illustrations portrays LGBTQ+ life, catering to both the community and a broader audience. So if you're interested, definitely check it out!
I thought they were upset that the green M&M was no longer a stripper, I didn't know they were upset with the purple M&M too.
true for every attraction :) (except cute little balls of fur)
They and Them have been singular pronouns in the english language since the 1300s. Anyone who thinks that either word is an exclusively plural pronoun failed basic english classes and doesn't understand the language they're speaking.
You choose if and when you want to come out. I would recommend finding a queer support group (in real life or online), or queer parties or making friends with some queer people. Being in the closet all by yourself can be hard and lonely, having a place where you don't have to hide yourself or have someone to talk to about being queer, can really really help. It also makes it much easier to come out at some point, if you already have some people who accept and support you.
I’m always having to fight for my right to exist and not be torn down. Additionally, there is a person who has the T slur in their name. Report them please. Update: he seems to have gone away, thank god.
Oh I don’t use pronouns- well here’s what you can’t say: you, me, we, our, my, I, ours, he, him, she, her, they, them, theirs, myself, etc etc
"And historians will call them- close friends, besties, roommates, colleagues, anything but lovers" /lyr
