Raison d’Etre is a modern fantasy webcomic with a pretty diverse cast when it comes to LGBTQ representation. Clicking each piece will give you a little extra info!

Quick question. Are all the webcomics u post lgbtq related or just because it's pride month? It's not a issue I'm just a new follower and wasn't sure if this is a theme month or regular content
The Short Version:One of my main goals with this blog is to help others find webcomics that make them feel validated and represented, and LGBT representation is a big part of that goal, but I plan on doing so much more with this blog in the future!
The Long Version: I try my best to do LGBT+ Masterposts for LGBT+ events all year around! Because it’s pride month I’m doing a lot of posts for parts of the LGBT spectrum that don’t already have a specific holiday that I can find, for example genderfluid, agender, and and queer platonic representation in webcomics. A large proportion of the webcomic I promote have LGBT representation partially because I am queer and because I follow multiple other LGBT specific webcomic blogs.
Of course I don’t just limit myself to LGBT+ specific webcomics, but it’s definitely a big part of my library! I have plans to branch out and do more themed masterposts for genre, disabilities, and hopefully some POC and women specific masterposts in the future!
If you want an idea of what I’m doing and what masterposts I have planned:

Smackjeeves has closed
As of December 31st, 2020 Smackjeeves has closed. The site was a major pillar of webcomic culture, being one of the first webcomic specific sites out there and still pretty popular before it updated last year and caused a mass exodus from the site. The loss of this site is a tragedy with the variation of hosting sites slimming and the loss of many comics exclusive to the site.
One day soon I want to do a full post recounting the history and significance of Smackjeeves. It was one of the first places I consistently read comics and has a special place in my memory and a soreness towards it’s avoidable demise. But in the meanwhile be sure to support those who were affected by this closure. I will be updating my archives in the next few days to remove Smackjeeves from the public archives and putting exclusive comics on private. May the imprint of this platform live on in the minds of people who were touched by its existence.
Hey, it’s Pride Month!
Here’s a comic I’ve been working on for a while, that I wrote in the wake of figuring out some stuff about being aromantic. Just some thoughts and feelings I have about it, and some silly memories that made me go wow, that makes a lot of sense now.
Have a happy and safe last week of Pride, everybody ❤️💚
One year ago today, I dealt with the trauma of the Pulse massacre alone, in a foreign country, feeling for the first time how much people hated me, and reeling because this was not the first tragedy and it won’t be the last.
Since then, my definition of pride has changed to encompass the cruel irony that 49 of us were slaughtered during Pride Month.
So here is what pride means to me now:
I’m so proud of us for turning grief into community, strength, and love, over and over again; I hate that we have to.
I’m so proud of us for finding each other across time and space, over and over again; I hate that we have to.
I’m so proud of us for waking up every morning and making it through another day of slurs and weird looks and jokes at our expense; I hate that we have to endure that.
We do this shit over and over and over again. Every single day is the anniversary of something horrific and another day that we refuse to give up.
We exist in a world that says we should not, we love ourselves in a world that teaches us self-hate from the moment we are born, and that is the fiercest, bravest thing I can imagine.
This Pride Month, I could not be more proud.
