Comics and Animation Series: strike chords; challenge stereotypes!

At long standing within gay and lesbian youth and young adults maturity rituals is the affection for Science Fiction and the Superhero Comic Industries. This theory is proven still true more recently with the more detailed male to male intimate Animation/Manga Series, with even an entire subculture of them made for specifically for straight female readers (Yaoi).

Whether the stories displayed were of hot boys in their unitards, tights, made costumes, and bikini underwear being intimately bound and tortured (HERO by Perry Moore) by their best friend whom was also there secretly sworn arch nemesis, or just normal everyday occasions of young men (or women) being so close to one another that an impassioned love between the characters regardless of gender, status as friend or foe, develops. Just the idea alone of Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne swallowing down each others poles after defeating any of the vast enemies of the City of Gotham, make a homo erotic suggestion and foreplay throughout comics and sci-fi a part of most GLBT youths and young adults experiences and early formation and understanding of self.

While mapping out their sexual curiosity and stimulation as well as their personal sense of internal security, many GLBT youth relied on the stories of survival and right judgment of these characters, while embracing their own meekness. When it comes to dealing with the diverse issues of coming out and living as a gay or lesbian in a very harsh society and cultures, these comics and science fiction genres gave us a idea of our true power while giving us the ability to stand firm, even when everyone else said that we were worthless and less than equal. Now we have a long list slowly building of GLBT authors writing out their stories and dreams of that hope for the next generations to not suffer like we had to through innuendo and hidden thoughts.

PRIDE HIGH Comic Series passes into its sophomore year

Just recently PINK KRYPTONITE spotlighted that the kids over at Poseidon Preparatory Academy for Heroic Youth are getting ready to go through another term at PRIDE HIGH! The sixth issue in the PH series Kid Gloves includes a bonus mini comic regarding one of the characters Kid Olympus.

I have been acquainted for a long time with Tommy Roddy through MySpace. We have shared resources before and carry a common passion for serving and protecting GLBT Youth and Young Adults. F6 has been proud to cross link and support the PRIDE HIGH Comic Series since our reintroduction in this newer blog format and we encourage everyone to check out both the vast array of Queer Comic and Animation Series older resources over on our LINKS PAGE and new links (some are in this post) that will be updated to the F6LP this weekend.... I promise.

By the way, as I was reviewing information for this post I found that PRIDE HIGH's Anniversary is the same as martyred gay coupled Saints Sergius and Bacchus, the 7th of October, kewl!
