reminder that the literal Mother of Pride was a “bisexual woman with a boyfriend”, so before yall start questioning why bi women with boyfriends celebrate pride, maybe learn your queer history ❤️
The 2nd queer comic character of the day is Kate Godwin / Coagula from DC / Vertigo! She's a lesbian trans woman!
Coagula is the first openly trans superhero in comics. She was introduced in Doom Patrol (1987) #70 by Rachel Pollack in 1993.
That both Vertigo and Milestone introduced the first trans heroes in the same year is a testament to how important these imprints were for the evolution of comics. They pushed comics forward in a way that few - or perhaps no - other imprints / initiatives have.
