I can promise you that this comic is a love story with a happy ending.
But it is also an adult story, with trauma and backgrounds relating to discrimination. This is a story about characters who bond over their mutual friendship and love for one another, and also through supporting each other in dark times.
None of the struggles I write are meant to be gratuitous or for shock factor. Everything has a purpose in the design of this story. Especially the back stories, which are lovingly, thoughtfully researched and rooted in aspects of real-life North American queer history and society.
Thank you for trusting me with characters that mean so much to you.
Xoxoxo
