So, in light of some awesomely amazing comments on the blog and tumblr – I’ve made a few adaptions to the queer 101 comic. Thought I’d pop it up on this here part of the blog in all it’s glory 🙂

TRANSCRIPT:

Panel 1:

(This panel contains the title, which reads:) The QUEER 101 the Downlow on Gender, Sex & Sexuality*

(The words “QUEER 101” are written in a graduated rainbow font.)

(There is a caption at the bottom of the panel, which reads:) *A super, simple comic guide

Person A: (A person wearing a purple t-shirt with a pink stripe across the chest, who is facing the viewer, but looking up. Mouth is open, with very upturned edges, one arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, palm facing the viewer.)

Person B: (A person wearing a green singlet, who is looking directly at the viewer. Mouth is open, with very upturned edges, one arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, palm facing the viewer.)

 

Panel 2:

Person A: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has very upturned edges, and hands clasped behind back.) Queer is a word I like to use.

Person B: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has very upturned edges. One arm is raised slightly at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, with one finger pointing up and the rest of the hand closed.) But not everyone does, & that’s cool.

 

Panel 3:

Person B: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with a closed mouth which has very upturned edges. One arm is bent out at the elbow, palm facing up, and the other arm is by Person B’s side.)

Person A: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has upturned edges. One arm is bent up at the elbow, hand holding the handle of a huge, open, yellow umbrella. The other arm is by Person A’s side.) It’s an umbrella term used to describe sexuality & gender/sex identities.

(There are words all over the umbrella, they read:) omnisexual, mtf, trans, gay, pan, lesbian, androgynous, fa’afafine, ftm, bi, curious, takataapui, camp, intersex, questioning, genderqueer, asexual, ia

 

Panel 4:

(There is a caption filling most of the panel, which reads:) SEXUALITY: is all about who you’re into.

(The word “SEXUALITY” is written in a graduated rainbow font.)

Person A: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has upturned edges. One arm is raised at the elbow, hand open and palm facing the viewer.)

(There are a number of red love heart shapes surrounding the caption and Person A.)

 

Panel 5:

Person B: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has upturned edges.) It could be who you feel romantic, sexual, or curious towards… (In a separate speech bubble:) or who you don’t!

(There are a number of red love heart shapes surrounding the speech bubbles and person B.)

 

Panel 6:

(There is a large, green, horizontal line with arrows at each end and the word “SEXUALITY” emblazoned on it. There are 3 captions in this panel. The first is next to one of the arrows, the second is next to the middle of the line, and the third is next to the other arrow.)

(Caption 1 reads:) Straight: If you’re one gender and you’re attracted to people who are a different gender you might be straight

(Caption 2 reads:) Bisexual/Pansexual: If you don’t have a preference about the genders that you’re attracted to, you might use the term bisexual or pansexual

Caption 3 reads:) Gay/Lesbian: If you’re one gender and you’re attracted to that same gender you might be gay or lesbian.

Person A: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has upturned edges. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent out at the elbow, palm facing up and fingers bent up slightly.) Most people think of sexuality as a continuum.

Person B: (A person who is looking directly at the viewer, with an open mouth which has upturned edges.) Then there’d be people aaaaall the way along.
