[Description under the cut.] 

I know we’re already halfway through the month so I’m late to the party (per the norm), BUT in my defense this comic has like a million details and a ton of characters and wheelchairs are really hard to draw. 🙈

To all of you in the LGBTQ+ community with a chronic illness and/or disability, always remember that we need to hear your voices, too! You have unique stories and perspectives to share with the world, and they are valuable.

Since I haven’t seen any mention of it yet, except on twitter, i’d also like to remind everyone that not only is June LGBT pride month, but it’s also Indigenous History month!

Please take the time to support, uplift and remember your Native, First Nations, Aboriginal and otherwise Indigenous friends and family. We are here, we exist! We have a long and winding history that deserves to be heard and respected! The word ‘Indigenous’ is so wonderful, and so expansive, and includes so many different cultures under its arms. Go out, learn about our histories and our cultures. Talk to the Indigenous people around you! We’re everywhere!

And not only that, but also be sure to give extra support to LGBT indigenous voices in this community. We are a minority that is scarcely acknowledged, and in desperate need of it. Too many times have I gotten strange looks for being so openly Native and so openly a lesbian. It’s as if that combination is impossible for people to understand. Support our content, buy from our stores! Or at least just include us!

I’d like to wish a happy LGBT pride month, and a happy Indigenous History month to everyone, but especially us LGBT Native folks. This really is our month to be open about ourselves, and I sure intend to. 💗🏳️‍🌈

Just to clarify

JUST BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE SAY “oh asexuals don’t belong in the LGBT community, it’s not even in the name” THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T BELONG THERE. IT’S LGBTQ+ AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT + MEANS. IT MEANS THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST IN THE NAME. FOR EXAMPLE: Demisexual, Polysexual, ASEXUAL AND MORE. JUST BECAUSE ASEXUALS CAN BE RARE THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T BELONG. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT’S ACE AND THEY’RE REALLY NICE. SO IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY “asexuals don’t belong” OR SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT ACE TELL THEM THIS “GO KISS A HORSES FRICKING BUTT”.

Everyone in the LGBTQIAP+ community deserves to see themselves in media.

All identities. All intersections.

Books and TV and movies and games and comics and music.

Don’t let anyone convince you that you don’t deserve representation.
