Comics creator Serafina Dwyer hopes to raise $8,000 for an anthology entitled Love in All Forms: The Big Book of Growing Up Queer. We’ve embedded a video about the project above.
The finished book will feature comics about children (ages five to twelve) who belong to the LGBTQ community. The funds will be used to cover the cost of printing.
Here’s more from the Kickstarter page: “These stories hope to reach queer children to show them that they are not alone and that their stories deserve to be told. We hope to encourage parents and families to discuss sexual and gender identity more openly with children. It is our goal to show that nonheterosexual and/or noncisgender people are unique, complete human beings worthy of respect, sympathy, and most of all, love.”
