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.
The queer character of the day is Masquerade from DC / Milestone. He is a trans man who uses shapeshifting to transition.
Masquerade is the first trans man superhero in the Big 2, introduced in 1993. He stars in Blood Syndicate (Vol 1).

This entire conversation might be my favorite Doom Patrol Moment ever, Kate and Cliff’s dynamic works so well together. The deconstruction of gender/ being into an intrapersonal identity that manifests socially is fantastic! The allegory for passing fits Cliff so well!
@iamyomas She wildly oscillates between this bright red color and pale as a sheet throughout JLT :/ which is unfortunate because they do a lot of stuff with her I actually like.
