Strong Female Protagonist Is The Perfect Superhero Comic Even If You Don’t Like Superheroes

“Strong Female Protagonist” is a wonderful superhero comic that places more importance on the humanity of it’s characters than their super-humanity. It tells the story of Alison Green (formerly Mega-Girl) as she tries to negotiate post-superhero life.

I’m Going To Homeschool These Damn Babies

I finally feel safe enough to imagine the big queer family I never had. A home where gender is an option, not an obligation, where parents can apologize to each other as well as to their kids and where long, ongoing conversations about race, power and privilege exist.

“Saving Mr. Banks” Erases P.L. Travers’ Queer Identity, Misses Amazing Opportunity for Representation

In my mind, to fail at LGBT inclusion in fiction is to have a failure of imagination, a lazy lack of understanding concerning the world outside of one’s self. To intentionally choose to tell a story about a real LGBT person and then exclude their queer identity is a failure on an entirely different level.
