Welcome! I’m Chloe, I enjoy drawing and gay things!
This is another strip that is as close to being 100% accurate as a replay of actual events as is possible. The major difference is that I was checking Facebook on my phone, not at my computer. But this was more interesting visually.
I decided to make this a strip as a set up for an idea that sprung u p out of a conversation about this on facebook where I imagined what it would be like to chat with myself, pre transition.
Hey, creators of LGBTQ webcomics…
Anyone else want to give me permission to make a post which uses sample pages from their webcomic to promote it?
They’re basically like this and this and this. I think these kinds of posts look good aesthetically and tend to catch attention better than simpler ones, but I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to post whole pages from someone’s comic without their permission.
For the posts, I choose a handful of comic pages (or sometimes only one or two) that I think will best entice readers to click through and read the rest of the comic. I include the comic’s summary, links to where the comic can be read, and links to places people can buy merch or support through Patreon where applicable.
I can usually find everything I need on my own so all you need to do is give me permission if you like, but I’m also happy to take input from you if you want anything different or specific in your post (or for you to make the post yourself and send it in).
Send me an ask (not anon), a PM, or reply to this post if you’d like to give me permission to make a post promoting your LGBTQ webcomic which includes sample pages from your comic.
My queue’s low and I have a bit of extra time this week, so let’s do some of these again!
Dear parents is a project that I wanted to make because sexuality and gender has always been an important topic for me, growing up in a heteronormative society thinking that anything ‘other’ is wrong, growing up being placed into a category by others and being bullied for that, later coming to terms with being asexual, and then realising that I was using that as an umbrella term when in fact I was bisexual but scared of embracing that because of the torment that I got as a child for being different. I made this comic because I will always feel the judgement that I grew up with, judgement that now won’t let me be myself around people who I am supposed to be able to be myself around, no matter what, such as family and friends, no matter how much they tell me they will accept me now or how it doesn’t matter to them, there will always be that feeling that I am an embarrassment, that I am a disappointment and that I am supposed to be someone that I’m most certainly not. Although I want everyone to love themselves to feel great in their skin and not have judgement for something you can’t control such as your sexuality, such as your gender and such as your race, you can’t take away scars from someone’s past, so I decided to cut out the middleman and start at the beginning, educating parents, because after all children don’t judge until they are taught to judge, until their parents raise them that way because that is what they were taught, until people on the radio, on television, until friends or teachers or anyone influential tell them that something that isn’t, is wrong. This comic is to explain to parents on how to support their child, how to raise them to not feel the way that I do, the way that millions of other minorities feel, this comic is to help people love themselves before they even hate themselves.
This topic is important to me because although I am bisexual and proud, I am proud of the work that I am creating and I am proud of everyone who stands beside me, I have never felt proud to be Alex Copeman, until now.
here’s another doodle comic about me being gay and my gay friends who get to listen to me be gay
Surprise! Bi-Assed is now going to feature strips about being non-binary! My best friend and guest writer @mrodigga is going to write comics about their adventures of being non-binary for me to illustrate. Due to their busy schedule, strips about being NB won’t be quite as frequent as the ones about being biracial and bisexual, but there should be roughly two or three a month.
I hope you all like this addition!
