    Graphic Novels to discover and explore! – Campus Pride Week 2022

    by Elisabet Ingibergsson March 14, 2022
    written by Elisabet Ingibergsson

    Previously relegated to the realm of gay underground publications, queer “comix” and graphic novels have come a long way over the past 6 decades. Early creators used pseudonyms to protect their identities to avoid putting themselves at risk during a time when they could be criminally prosecuted. LGBTQ activity was considered a crime in Canada until 1969, when Bill C-150 was passed into law. Depictions of gay sexuality were considered “obscene” back then. 

    The creative world of graphic novels and comics is constantly evolving and is a perfect outlet for authors across the LGBTQ2S+ spectrum to share stories of their lived experiences in a way that is accessible, educational and can be enjoyed by all.

    Have a look at this sampler from our collections to discover and explore!
