Welcome to Gaia! ::

I recently posted this in another gay Gaia guild (yay alliteration!) and I thought it might be of interest to some people in here too.

-------------------------------------------

Anyway, I happen to be a big fan of webcomics, and I follow quite a few of them. I decided, for those out there who also enjoy them, to put down a list of all the (non-pornographic) ones I read that center around LGBT characters. If you know of others I missed that you read and enjoy, please share them too.

Abel Boddy
Centers around Howard, a less-than-romantically-successful gay man, and his buff gay guardian angel/sex god Abel. Sometimes dirty, but not too extreme.

Capitol Hillbillies
Daily lives and sexual exploits of a group of gay friends in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. The most sexually explicit comic on this list.

Finn and Charlie are HITCHED
A charming comic about a middle-aged gay married couple in the mid-west. Based very loosely on elements from the author's real life, and a nice portrait of a stable, healthy, long-term gay relationship.

Straight Ahead
Largely chronicles the coming out process of a deeply-in-denial protagonist with two imaginary friends/guardian angels who are each trying to get him to move forward, but in somewhat different directions.

Down and Out
A relatively new comic that centers around the life of the semi-autobiographical protagonist and a few of his friends living in Montreal's gay district.

Amazing Adventures of Bill
A long-running journal comic written by/about the everyday life of Bill Roundy, a middle-aged gay man living in Brooklyn.

Girls With Slingshots
This is not a strictly gay comic, but I included it here for three reasons. The first is that it has several LGBT characters who are central to the plot. The second is that it recently did a plot line about open relationships which I think was very well handled. The third is that, as you may have noticed, I'm not really versed in lesbian webcomics and I wanted to include at least one that the girls might relate to.

I've heard the names of a few lesbian webcomics, like Peggy and Aggie and Flipside, but I don't read them so I really can't give you a description. Those two may also be NSFW, I can't vouch for that one way or the other. So, you know, advance with caution.

I only really have one that's safe for work. xD

Tripping Over You

Oh, I follow that artist on DA since I like the style. I wouldn't link Starfighter on a Gaia forum. That is so far beyond the pg-13 limit.

Oh! I just remembered. It's not really gay, but there are a lot of jokes about same-sex pairings:
