Hey! The names Aidan and I’m most definitely gay. That’s all I’ve got!

Flitting Thoughts is my page. Come check it out :)

I haven’t really got much else to say,

I haven’t really got much else to say,

if you are from the UK. 

Have you ever been sick of being misrepresented? Of having no one like you to look up to? Have you ever wanted to change everything?

Well, FabMan has. In a world populated by superpowers, the superhero is common. Sadly for FabMan (Tomorrow’s Fabulous Man, Today), he feels a deep schism in the representation of his community, his own heroic exploits being presented as just big jokes in the news. Wan…ting to fight for change, he forms PRIDE, the world’s premier LGBT supergroup. Not a gay superteam, just a team where most members are LGBT. Not exactly receiving the desired response, the group faces opposition from the confrontational Justice Division, more aggressive misrepresentation by the media and are then taken advantage of in the plans of the nefarious Reverend. After a serious trial by fire, the team find themselves the only super team in the world capable of stopping The Reverend’s diabolical plot for world domination.

Join FabMan, Wolf, Sapphire, Frost, Twink, Bear, Angel and White Trash on their mission to help people and improve LGBT representation in the process.

The Pride is a six-issue mini-series written by Joe Glass, and with art by rising star Gavin MItchell, and Kris Carter. The series will be published by Deadstar Publishing, and is seeking further distribution.

The whole point of doing this project is to provide young LGBT comics readers with heroes they can look up to, and older ones with heroes they can relate to; it’s to cover issues that straight readers may not be aware of, or may have disregarded as something which ‘doesn’t affect them’ when they affect all of us; it can hopefully change some opinions and help push for an improvement in representation; and most of all, it will be fun!

If we are unsuccessful here, the comic will still come out. But we won’t be able to spread it as far as we would like, and there is little point to a message if no one can actually hear it.
