Well, so far, the class is structured by assigning a reading (or readings) per week and using class time to discuss them at length. Our classes are 3 hour classes meeting once a week. The first book we read was Queer: A Graphic Novel (which is an incredibly informative piece of work in such an easy-to-digest format, if a little densely written) and some articles by Michael Foucault, Judith Butler, David Halperin, and some other acclaimed authors writing for LGBT progress and study. Our second book was Mean by Myriam Gurba, which tbh is a masterpiece of not just lesbian expression but feminist expression and illustrating sexual trauma in a way that makes the reader uncomfortable in every way that they should be when hearing about sexual trauma. As a victim myself, I really enjoyed this book (though I had to step away from it several times because of my personal PTSD and the emotional and psychological triggering that reading about trauma causes.)
The meat of the class has not just been in the books but in the discussion. Everyone so far in my class has such a wide variety of previous knowledge and experience in LGBT study and community, ranging from "I have no idea what LGBT even stands for" to "I have published work on the LGBT topic", but every single person is there to learn and they're all incredible people from such a diverse range of places, sexualities, genders, ethnicities and even nationalities. I truly love this class and I look forward to every class meeting. The professor has been keeping assignments light and we don't really have a lot of assignments besides maybe a bi-weekly 2-3pg paper that's really more of a reading reflection, where you have to think about the in-class discussions and the readings and you can write about whatever you want as long as it's reasonably academic and makes a point of some kind (my first one was essentially thought-vomit about heteronormativity, which was a new concept to me at the start of the semester, and how rare a truly heteronormative person would be, considering everyone has "deviances" i.e. sexual preferences and kinks, as well as different wants and needs in partners and in themselves.)
I think they are there to make the Dream Daddy Comic coming out May 14th.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Daddy-Dating-Comic-Book/dp/1620106310
It's very possible that they are also working on another game. The teaser for Dream Daddy dropped about a month before release, so they might be hush hush about their new project. That's just speculation though.
You were right on the mark! Korrasami is canon! They started to like each other over the course of books 3 and 4 and walked into the portal to get away from the city for a few weeks. While they were in the spirit world they kinda fell in love and returned to the city as a couple. You can read all about their vacation in the turf wars comic books that take place after the events of the show. I technically shouldn't do this but here ya go
​
I would really recommend buying the library edition of the comics though!

When Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray met at church bingo in 1963, it was love at first sight. Forced apart by their families and society, Hazel and Mari both married young men and had families. Decades later, now in their mid-’60s, Hazel and Mari reunite again…

My boyfriend got me this book recently: http://www.amazon.com/The-Passion-Gengoroh-Tagame-Master/dp/0984589244/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380941793&sr=8-1&keywords=Gengoroh+Tagame
A+ if you like the kinkier side of things.
Queer: A Graphic History. I devoured it in a sitting and was just floored.
So I have a crap ton of items spread around several different lists, so there are practically infinite combinations to add up to $75. I am so excited just to have been able to participate - anything is amazing!! Some possible ideas:
ETA I really want the bracelet, book, and something for kiddo if possible.

What made you think that it's my job to educate people? I'm an young adult fiction author by trade, not a teacher. If you want someone to teach you, maybe start by studying an introductory book on queer theory? Dr. Meg-John Barker has an excellent beginner's level guide available at https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Graphic-Dr-Meg-John-Barker/dp/1785780719
Yep, you can get it here

Keep in mind that it's not a novel, but a graphic novel! 🎉
The writer of The Flintstones also just did a Snagglepuss comic set in the McCarthy era with Snagglepuss as a Tennessee Williams figure. https://www.amazon.com/Exit-Stage-Left-Snagglepuss-Chronicles/dp/1401275214/
A great condensed and accessible resource on many concepts related to sexuality and gender is "Queer: A Graphic History". I highly recommend it!

I can't find Annie, but here's Blue is the Warmest Color (The French version is here) and Here's the first volume of Whiteout.
A few titles by Gengoroh Tagame have been released in english and are available on Amazon
Here's a link to one of them , the other two should be listed right below.
I agree with /u/MicMit, and that Fantagraphics link is great.
Personally, my entry point were the two enormous hardcover collections, Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories, and Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories. Neither is completely comprehensive, but I loved reading each brother's respective works en masse this way.
I think Locas is out of print, but if you belong to a public library, you may be able to request copies!
there seems to be one set to be released on October.
Of course I have. I've read the comic, too.
I think it's a good movie in it's own right about young romance and heartbreak. My only personal annoyances were the extreme closeups of their faces as they were eating messy foods, and the 7 minute sex scene. Granted, I didn't have a problem with that until I read a few articles about how extremely uncomfortable the two actresses were during filming.
But sure. Otherwise, good movie. And I'm pretty sure you can check it out on Netflix if you've got it.
Gosh, I would really love to have this book because it looks like a really great read, and covers some topics that hit kind of close to home for me. I don't usually purchase/wishlist physical copies of books unless they are super good reads that I plan on reading over and over again but this one is just special.
Can you define conviviality? I've never heard that word before. Thank you for the contest. :)
This book is queer, and on my wishlist as well. It's supposedly very good.
I'd also highly recommend The Song of Achilles. I've reread it a bunch of times and absolutely adore it, it's so cute. Aristotle and Dante Discover The Universe is similar and also very good.
This book is supposed to be great, also on my to-read list. It's a graphic history of queerness.
This is called Queer There and Everywhere, 23 people who changed the world. I really want to read this one too!
YAAAS QUEEN!
Being published in North America this October
It's based on this graphic novel by an actual lesbian so that gives me hope
Blue is the Warmest Color is a wonderful lesbian Graphic Novel.
Perks of being a Wallflower has queer themes, even though it does not have a queer main charater.
Sure! So for ATLA there are a series of trilogy stories. Their order is:
The Promise (3 parts, 2012)
The Search (3 parts, 2013)
The Rift (3 parts, 2014)
Smoke and Shadow (3 parts, 2015–16)
North and South (3 parts, 2016–17)
Imbalance (3 parts, 2018–19).
They all take place after the show and were made by and in connection with the creators. They're canon and some later ones reference earlier ones so be sure to read in the chronological order. There's also two anthology series that contain short stories from during the show. "The Lost Adventures" and "Team Avatar Tales."
For Korra there's only two so far:
Turf Wars (3 parts, 2017-18)
Ruins of the Empire (2019-20).
You can buy all of these on Amazon and in many cases you can find them at your local bookstore or library. They are available either in three smaller separate softcover parts or one combined hardcover. I personally bought them all as they came out and have the three individual softcover parts for each trilogy. Three separate covers that way too. Some of them are old enough now that the hardcover might be cheaper or on sale though so you might choose that.
"The Search" part 1 softcover is available here or "The Search" Hardcover part 1-3 is available on sale here.
"Turf Wars" part 1 softcover is available here or "Turf Wars" Hardcover part 1-3 is available on sale here.
You can find the rest of them on Amazon when you get to them too. Have fun!!
Yep. Well, a comic book

I think the film is currently on Netflix. It's okay, but the graphic novel is much better. I recommend reading it in paper format. Amazon has it used for a very reasonable price. :)
Make sure you read the graphic novel! The author is a friend of mine, so this is totally partial, but it has received a lot of acclaim: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Warmest-Color-Julie-Maroh/dp/1551525143
I would like to see some of my favorite independent comic book characters and stories adapted to film. I can only wish that The Preacher, Transmetropolitan or Sandman of Vertigo come to the screen someday.
And I am really grabbing straws with Love & Rockets, The Badger and Paul Pope's 100% (well, anything by him) on my list of wishes - so I'll just re-read the books again.
Hi everyone,
I have a gay graphic novel on Amazon which I'd love for you to checkout!
AND THE EBOOK VERSION IS NOW ONLY $2.99!!
https://www.amazon.com/Over-Ran-Michael-Ekman-ebook/dp/B07TKYV3GS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1564742295&sr=8-1
It's a story of trying to move on after a break-up when life is also happening.
The story focus on Tom and his not-so-great period of life.
He's back to dating after breaking up with the guy he thought was the love of his life, and it's not working out so great. He tries to find a new place to live where he could be alone without the whims of a roommate but finding a flat in the big city is near impossible. And if that wasn't bad enough, the last friend he got left (after everyone got married, had children and moved to the suburbs) suddenly disappeared. Everything is just the worst - until everything changes. That's right, there's a new man (at least one) shows up!
The link is for the Kindle version for $2.99, there's also a paperback option for $9.99.
It's about 100 pages of story plus more than 50 pages of bonus materials like character sketches, variant covers (I had so much fun with those) and a 6 pages alternate ending (the original idea I had for the story and everyone thought was too dark, though I like it).
Free to hit me up with comments.
Thanks,
Ran
