Having a different sexual orientation makes anyone asking themselves a lot of questions and it is sure not easy to, at first, realize it yourself and then, living with the complications that comes with it.

    The 1980s displayed a period of growing fears and death that plague the nation. The AIDS pandemic began at the start of the decade, which is the time period Comics Come Out spans over. This period consisted of hate towards queer people skyrocketing as people’s prejudices were “justified” through the virus to protect traditional, family values.

These comics will describe the sex crazed stereotype of gay men in relation to societal pressures as well and contrasting with a romantic relationship to fight against the hate of the decade.
