Young, Dumb & Queer

Church (Minisode)

One more quick episode before The Big One. Might be a bit of a touchy episode for some people, but I have a lot of love for my queer siblings and their relationship with religion, good or bad. I’m a Catholic high school survivor myself so I see you lmao.

One more thing…

Leslie and Trevor (Minisode)

Update on the series below!

Tell Me More!

Last YD&Q episode of the year! It's a cute little minisode that took a surprising amount of time to finish. It's been a while since we've had a proper interaction between Pearl and Faith so I figured we'd stop by on this cute little bonding moment through Pearl's fandom side.

One of the goals I've always had for Young, Dumb & Queer is for the comic to be a comfort for queer people, whether they're still figuring things out or have been out for years. Even as we've made progress throughout the years, our rights are still constantly in jeopardy and our basic humanity is questioned for diverting from the heteronormative structure we've lived under for centuries. This month has been an awful reminder that we can never be truly safe from our oppressors. It's hard not to feel hopeless as we see Donald Trump once again elected as president of the United States, and all the Democratic party can do is shrug their shoulders and shake hands with fascists, on top of being complicit in the genocide occurring in Palestine. These are going to be a difficult and trying four years, but I'm not going to back down from being myself and expressing my queer art. What has kept me living this long has been the communities and solidarity I found with other people who are willing to show up and be there for someone, however they can. Even when things are bleak, we have people to fall back on. They'll fight for us as much as we fight for them. Young, Dumb & Queer is about those people. The ones who encourage us to keep going, even at the worst of times. I hope you do the same for your own communities.

We'll see you next year for more Young, Dumb & Queer. We're not going anywhere.

Happy Halloween! (BONUS)
