Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Limit of two posts per person per day.
Bots aren't allowed.
Banned users will have their posts removed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yep! And that's part of the culture I grew up in and came to age in. Media that demonized and mocked gay men (and really all gay people), even otherwise progressive and lighthearted media.

It was damaging to me as a child. More so than a lot of people could ever realize.

Also disheartening is that a lot of my super religious family will use the term cocksucker as a derogatory statement right in front of me, knowing I'm gay. These are the same exact people who literally freak out and act like you've shot their mother in front of them if you say the word "fuck" or "god damn".

Cocksucker is just a good word to say; in my language the word for Cancer (yes we curse with that) is used in the same way and is also very controversial.
