Be Gay, Do Comics

Be Gay, Do Comics is a collection of nonfiction comics from The Nib that explores queer history, politics, and personal stories with sharp humor and bold art. Created by a wide range of LGBTQ+ cartoonists, it offers everything from bite-size memoirs to historical deep dives. Parents of older teens appreciate its candid, intersectional perspectives that rarely appear in textbooks, though mature themes and language mean it’s best with discretion. As a single anthology, it packs an enormous amount of representation and conversation-starting material into one volume.
