Title

The Gender (Non) Binary

Description

In early editions of Gay Comix, the gender spectrum wasn't often spoken of. Plenty of instances of drag as a form of queer culture was exhibited as well as the depiction of dyke lesbians wearing men's clothes, but specific conversations on gender and gender presentation were rare. The first transgender story in issue 3 featured cartoonist Dave Kottler in "I'm Me!". Kottler described himself as a transexual gay man, transexual being an outdated term today. In later issues of Gay Comix trans people begin to listed as part of the queer community, queer sexuality not required.
