Messages of hate can cause depression, low self esteem, suicidal thoughts...yet no one addresses that issue. Gay adults don't magically appear - we were gay children and while as an adult I can easily dismiss hateful comments - I'm hoping the younger GLBT generations will not be so intimidated in their formative years.

Road to West Jollywood Part 2
Posted 08/30/10
Author's Note: The strip was completed in time for my new Saturday deadline but I wasn't happy with what it said so I let it sit for a few days to let the character's tell me what they wanted to say. I felt it better to publish a strip I liked rather than stay within my deadline...
Free shipping on 10 or more cards through 09/01/10

Road to....nowhere...
Posted: 09/11/10
Well - not nowhere...but hopefully to other fun places outside the LRC world...
Hello Fans! Thank you so much for following LRC - I do appreciate all of you. Unfortunately work, family events and plain old life interferes with the creative processes. For those of us in the US - we just had the Long Labor Day weekend - and while I do LOVE the time off - it makes the short work week that much harder sometimes - you have 4 days to do 5 days of work and I am a little tired. A potential paying art gig looms - though it has nothing to do with cartooning - strange - but hopefully a fun adventure. Got a 5 year old birthday party to attend so that will be fun. The hubby isn't feeling well but with luck a little TLC will clear that up.
All that said and done - I may not be able to complete a strip this week - though I have the next couple sketched out - fret not - LRC will return and I am hoping to have a lot of fun having the kids go to Pride in West Jollywood.
I'd like to make this a 'Shameless Self-Promomtion Weekend' for all the artists, photographers, poets, writers, musicians etc. Feel free to post a friend's site especially (but not necessarily) if they are part of the GLBT community. I would like to help spread the work of other budding artists.
If you have something to share feel free to post a link to or sample of your work in the comment boxes below.
Please keep it PG - LRC reserves the right to moderate it's Blog Site.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

Two Messages in One...

Little Rainbow Comics pays tribute to all those who have been singled out, ridiculed and otherwise suffered for being differnt. Recently there has also been much talk and outreach by the 'It Gets Better' campaign but as I sat down to draw this message I realized that message comes from GLBT people who have 'been there' & 'done that' and the characters of LRC have yet to have those experiences so I decided to put a spin on 'It Gets Better' from the point of view of someone young who has yet to embark on their journey.

Part of the Mission of LRC is to open people's eyes on what it is like to grow up gay. Gay people aren't born 21 years old - we started out as gay children and the issues we face coming to terms with who we are can be terrible.
Even though I didn't have the physical trauma of being beat up for being gay in school I was still made fun of and I remember the painful stress of the mocking. While I am 'out' for the most part it is still a nerve wracking experience when meeting new people or starting a new job - I just never know how people will react to what I am.
The thing that people don't understand is that the insecurities don't stop with 'coming out' to yourself or your family; it is always waiting with every new environment and it is just like being on the school playground all over again.
Please don't be afraid to educate the people in your life because that is the way we can change the world.
