![]() The common thread is really finding acceptance for who you are, no matter who that is. Some of the stories feature the same kids (and/or their siblings) and some of them don’t interlock with the others at all. Lemonade Summer – A collection of short, LGBTQ+ positive comics, child-friendly, but still interesting for adults. (I don’t remember the story for the game anymore, because my brain has been crowded with too many other things lately, but…) It’s a pleasant read, except for the ending, which as you might expect is rather dark, setting up the story for the game. The game hasn’t come out yet, but they sent the physical copy of the comic out anyway, since it takes place before the game. Laria’s Diary: Prelude to Mystics of Sapphia – This comic book is a side-story to Mystics of Sapphia, a lesbian visual novel I backed on Kickstarter. ![]() It’s teaching about acceptance in general, and I think it does a nice job of it. A children’s picture book can only do so much, after all. Because, you know, 50th anniversary and all.)īen, the Boy Who Paints His Nails – There’s nothing overtly LGBTQ+ about this, aside from the rainbow theme, it’s more just about accepting people. (Also, please keep in mind that I spent the first half of the month reading stuff for the Read Harder challenge instead, until I realized I ought to put that aside for Pride Month-appropriate reading. I’m going to list them alphabetically, because I don’t think I can remember what order I read them in. *sigh* I am still not fully back in the blogging habit. ![]() (I should have thought of them sooner and done a post at some point during the month. There were also a few other good LGBTQ+ related books I got off Kickstarter that I’ve already read, but since it wasn’t this month, I’m not including them here. Manga, yes, but graphic novel, not so much. Which is so weird, because I don’t really think of myself as the graphic novel type. (I spend way too much money there.) Most of them, furthermore, are graphic novels. ![]() (Though next year I plan to think ahead I’m going to assemble the list as I go, and on the first of June next year I’ll post a list of all the LGBTQ+ reading I’ve done between the two Junes, and that way if someone wants to read any of it for themselves, then they actually have time to do so while it’s still Pride Month.) Bizarrely, all but one of the books I’m listing here is something I got by backing it on Kickstarter. Thought I’d do a group post of all the LGBTQ+ reading I’ve done this month. ![]()
