I own a comic book subscription box company that is popular with homeschoolers. It's the beginning of the school year and I'm getting lots of emails about whether comics contain "LGBT content." The same phrase is used every time, so I'm thinking a templated inquiry is being passed around in these groups.

Instead of freaking out or being nasty, I explain that children's comics don't have content about sexual orientation. (Some great comics do, but that's not what the subscription box sells.)

Then I provide a long list of my recommended comics with LGBTQ+ themes...since they clearly want to know more about these things.
