Anything That Loves - Comics Beyond "Gay" and "Straight" - A Comic Anthology About Bisexuality

Anything That Loves: Comics Beyond "Gay" and "Straight" a comic anthology edited by Charles "Zan" Christensen

From confessional, personal accounts to erotic flights of fancy to undersea identity politics, this collection of comics invites the reader to step outside of the categories and explore the wild and wonderful uncharted territory between “gay” and “straight”.

The anthology features contributions both long-established and new creators, with brand-new work from MariNaomi, Amy T. Falcone, Jason Thompson, Kevin Boze, Roberta Gregory, Tara Madison Avery, and Nick Leonard and a full roster that includes Erika Moen, Maurice Vellekoop, Ellen Forney, Leanne Franson… more than 30 contributors in all.

The book features an introduction from editor Charles "Zan" Christensen, explaining the origins of the project and the reason he felt it was important, as a gay man, to tackle the topic of prejudice against bisexuality.

"Could repression of same-sex attraction by bisexual people," writes Christensen, "be the major contributor to the myth that gay people can 'choose' heterosexuality? They aren’t 'gay' and hiding it, and being 'bisexual' really isn’t something that straight or gay culture puts much stock in. It’s all-or-nothing, and people cram themselves into the box that seems to chafe the least. Could the refusal to accept the existence of bisexuality, then, be a root cause of homophobia itself?"

Note: This title may be best suited for older teens, as many of the contributions deal directly with sex and sexual situations.
