Yep.. you read that right, Wonder Woman and the Gays. Gosh what a title. I’ll explain I promise. I typed it 20 minutes ago and I’m still laughing. Comedy gold right there folks. Ain’t nothing better…
Ok, so, the GAYS you know. Not the GAZE, the GAYS 💅🏽.
Jokes aside, never in a million years would’ve thought that there would be a BI Superman, a GAY Aquaman and a LESBIAN Wonder Woman (there’s also a gay robin but I don’t read the bat family). I honestly wish I had this representation growing up. Just reading comics and seeing that it’s perfectly normal being a queer person, is something really special. Especially for a young kid that might be struggling. I still get emotional reading articles about kids coming out at such a young age because they have the confidence. THAT is why we need representation. Not only in comics, but in all pop culture media. I am so grateful to be growing up in a time when this is happening. Rewind 20-30 years ago when comics would put an R-rating on the front page because it would have queer person appear…… We still have a long way to go. WE still have a lot to do. Not only with LGBTQI+ representation but with all other minorities. People of colour, disabled people, trans people, plus size people, and the list goes on and on.
We all need to love each other and treat people not only with kindness but with respect. We can all lift each other up and let each other shine, shine, shine.
Here’s a quote from my queen, goddess, and mother;
Don’t allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses. - Lady Gaga
Now, onto the fun bits. COMICS. Below is my pull list for 21/01/22
