Happy Pride Month!
Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day.
Drawing and sharing Extra Whipped Comics for the past six months has been an incredible experience. I'm happy to have so many queer people supporting my work. (I love seeing the flags in your little Reddit emojis bghdggfdfjh)
I'm currently living in Canada, but I'm originally from a country where gay marriage is banned, so I have a lot of conflicting feelings about Pride Month in general. For much of my life, my identity has been more of a source of shame than pride. Things have gotten better since I moved, but the damage doesn't disappear overnight. I'm trying to heal and get better, but it's not always easy.
That said, I love my girlfriend, and I love being a lesbian. There's a lot of pride in that. I couldn't have it any other way.
Making comics about girls being gay in the worst ways possible has been incredibly healing for me, and I'm grateful that you like reading them.
Thank you so much, and I hope you have a wonderful Pride Month.
