This Pride, it’s more important than ever to support your favorite queer comic book creator or author. In most circumstances, the grassroots conservative groups responsible for these campaigns target books about the Black or LGBTQIA+ communities. However, the American Library Association‘s Office for Intellectual Freedom reported the United States saw an unprecedented number of book bans in 2021, with over 700 challenges to materials (some of which contain more than one title). Supporting queer stories shape lives and are critical for youth who are still discovering their identities. Ask your closest LGBTQIA+ friend how queer entertainment shaped their life and what representation means to them because it’s the time of year to remember why. Very merry Pride 2022! While I am sure that many of us read queer comics throughout the year, this is the month to remember how queer stories shape the world.
