pickThis is a compilation of coming out moments in the Marvel comic world, snippets of stories featuring the lgbtq+ characters and variants, essays about the evolving lgbtq+ inclusion in Marvel comics, and also HIV and AIDS addressed in the comics and through essays from staff. While entertaining, it was also a good education on these specific topics for myself.

KathyWheeler When my husband and I were first married, in the 80s, we used to read this comic, Alpha Flight, with a character, North Star, that we were sure was going to be the first out gay character that we knew of. Instead, they chickened out and made him a terrorist instead. Because that was better? We were so disappointed and annoyed. I‘ll have to check this out. 11mo
Hooked_on_books I love your sign! 11mo
PaperbackPirate They have this whole part about North Star being their first character to come out, so maybe it was later? But yeah, what a let down that must have been. @KathyWheeler 11mo

KathyWheeler @PaperbackPirate It was later. We really expected it much earlier than when it actually happened. 10mo
