Comic-Con Day One: "LGBT New Creators" panel

The first of the queer panels took place Thursday afternoon, under the auspices of the fine folks at Prism Comics and hosted by comics writer and pro wrestler Terrance Griep. It was a rousing discussion with some exciting new faces, including Megan Gedris (YU+ME), Sean McGrath (Frater Mine), and Tommy Roddy (Pride High).

My two favorite quotes of the day:

Steve MacIsaac (Shirtlifter), responding to a question to the panel about feeling the need to "push" their sexuality in their comics: "If you took the queer content out of my work, there would be two pages left."

Jennie Breeden (The Devil's Panties): "People ask me what it's like to be a girl in comics, but I don't know what it's like to be a boy in comics, so I don't know how to answer that question." -- Alonso Duralde
