List of webcomics with LGBT characters

Add article description


This is a list of some of the many webcomics featuring lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise LGBTQ content.

Girly (20032010)

LGBTQ+ themes and characters were historically omitted intentionally from the content of comic strips and comic books, due to either censorship, the perception that LGBTQ+ representation was inappropriate for children, or the perception that comics as a medium were for children. In recent years, the number of LGBTQ+ characters in mainstream comics has increased greatly. There exist a large amount of openly gay and lesbian comic creators that self-publish their work on the Internet. These include amateur works, as well as more "mainstream" works, such as Kyle's Bed & Breakfast.[1] According to Andrew Wheeler from ComicsAlliance, webcomics "provide a platform to so many queer voices that might otherwise go undiscovered."[2]
