Pride month with anime and manga, I recommend especially the last one

The mangas contain gay, lesbians, nonbinary and trans (and gender in general) representations. But since not everything have to be about our suffering there's chill manga that still include LGBT subject.

Still, check the "dothedogdie" website in case of trigger.

🏳️‍🌈Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈

I gotta say...Blue Flag is something else in its approach to the topic of queerness because it tries to recontextualise it from multiple topics. Spoilers but just a few vague examples.

Oh, this girl who looks like a guy thief? Actually, she's strongly acespec coded and values friendship over romance. She's sick and tired of being judged and needing to conform...but that also sometimes makes her inconsiderate to people who have grown up with those boxes and have to unlearn them...and yet she still is one of the kindest and most forgiving characters anyway. The guy who reacted in a homophobic way? He's told off for it but also he explains why he reacted that way and the author leaves it to us to villainise him or not while his gay friend ends up forgiving him and they mend their relationship slowly, understanding each other because you CAN be friends with people who don't think the same way you do (because life and people are complicated and more than their views, sometimes). The love triangle where you always wanted the girl to end with the second lead? Well, she does but their relationship was more about them helping the other rediscover and also find who they wanted to be, which ended in an amicable breakup. And the lesbian who was pining and in love with her friend and keeping it hidden from everyone? Her anger at society is treated seriously but so is how unfair she was to those around her for being angry at them when they literally didn't know. And oh, she ended up with what looks to be a guy and it's never confirmed whether if that was a decision she made still being a lesbian or if she is actually bisexual. What's more important is that she was happy in her choices because happiness is more than what you were born with.

And they all talk about it and fight to understand each other and call each other out and sometimes get it wrong, sometimes get it right, and all throughout we never hear an objective "right or wrong" because different people will live off of different principles and sometimes they can coexist and sometimes they need to fight and be cruel to find how to love each other again and sometimes they need to fo their separate ways and no one is simply cruel or kind just because and alweshrhsjejrhrhrkwe
