Be Gay, Do Comics: Queer History, Memoir, and Satire
Matt Bors
The dream of a queer separatist town. The life of a gay and Jewish Nazi-fighter. A gender reveal party that tears apart reality. These are the just some of the comics you'll find in this massive queer comics anthology from The Nib. Be Gay, Do Comics is filled with dozens of comics about LGBTQIA experiences, ranging from personal stories to queer history to cutting satire about pronoun panic and brands desperate to co-opt pride. Brimming with resilience, inspiration, and humor, an incredible lineup of top indie cartoonists takes you from the American Revolution through Stonewall to today's fights for equality and representation. Featuring more than 30 cartoonists including Hazel Newlevant, Joey Alison Sayers, Maia Kobabe, Matt Lubchansky, Breena Nuñez, Sasha Velour, Shing Yin Khor, Levi Hastings, Mady G, Bianca Xunise, Kazimir Lee, and many, many more!

0in the wake of a scary time (in america) artists come together and make comics about real queer experiences and history. this nonfiction queer comic anthology was released in 2020 before biden was declared winner, where lgbt folk are scared for their lives. Even when this comic was released in 2020, many of its stories seem to stay so so relevant, whether its feeling like an imposter queer, or being an asian in a “gay accepting” country, some of these hit so close to home. (one even focused on the philippines!)
its always nice to find stories to relate to and to see people have similar queer experiences as to yourself. Some comics felt so affirming, some funny, some very very informative.
I found some artists im really interested in, i nearly cried with some stories, I felt so good reading some.
