So for the last few years there’s been a LGBTIQ writing competition that happens around this time of year, and is announced over pride. This year the theme was ‘The gay [LGBTIQ] community’: myth or reality?’.
I’m not sure if the theme was intentionally provocative – in terms of the brackets, and the placement of ‘gay’ at the front. But it certainly inspired me to write.
This is an edited version, and a small portion of what I wrote. It’s a bit uncomfortable, and quite negative. And, not… well… anyway… here it is.
Very powerful stuff, Sam. Thank you for writing, and for sharing.

Thanks Dee – wasn’t sure if I should post it or not, but I *think* I’m glad I did
AAAHHHH!!!!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
EEEEK! Thanks!! I’m not sure it is, but thank you <3
(it’s okay to feel unsure.
the nice thing about TRUE stuff is that it’s not dependent on belief.
go be unsure of your own excellence. we just call that “humility” round these parts. =D )
Sam, as always, your comics come into being at the right moment.
Bravo.
ohhhh thanks, that means a lot!
As a new reader I love your comics. Have you thought about putting it on Tumblr or Tapas as there were lots of the queer comics are now
as I noticed you commented that your readership is down.
I’ve been promo click thru links on tumblr, but yeh that’s a good idea to just post the comic on there – I’ll give it a go thanks! And I’ll have a look on tapas too!
