Girl…THANK YOU, really, THANK YOU! I know such a great bunch of people who live as if who they’re having sex (ok, ok…making love to, having a serious relationship…whatever, sex just irks them more so that’s the word I prefer to use) defines them. It starts out as “I think I will cut my hair/grow a beard/put skirts/never use skirts again because I want to fit in with those others” and ends up in abandoning friends ’cause they’re not gay/lesbian/hetero/bi/slutty/saintly(feel free to add up any sex based category you can think of or have witnessed) enough and even email a wonderful webcomic artist to tell her “just how much I’ve “disappointed” them by falling in love with a man” (quote). It’s horrible.
Hello. I’m Laura. I have 2 arms, 2 legs, a torso and hopefully a head too. And I love the way DAR tells people sex just doesn’t depict an entire personality. And everything else about it, from the art to the sarcasm, from it’s philosophy to the moments of silliness (and, of course, the fart jokes). Thank you for sharing your comic with the world, Erika. :)

I think its great you don’t keep yourself from love because you feel the need to fit a certain identity. I’ve seen a good few people miss out on the love of their lives because they were “straight” or “gay”. I say more power to anyone who can find their soul mate!

Thank you for giving us all someone to relate to, Erika! I also identify as queer, even though I have a man I love 100%. We need to bring down all of the rigid labels. I never did understand how some lezzies and gays can be so judgmental about who someone loves when we all fight so hard AGAINST being judged.

Oh my god! Labels are so terrible! Why do we even _have_ descriptive words?!?!? God! I hate labels. Its definitely labels which cause the problem. Y’know. Always boxing people in and stuff like that. They should call them “hate”-bels cause that’s all that words that describe people are used for. Clearly, it is the existence of labels which creates hatred. Why can’t everyone just be treated equally, y’know? We’re all like, human, yknow?

What’s with all this conflict? I bet if we ask nicely, all the people in power will be glad to help remedy all material difference so no privileged people have to feel troubled and confused by this nasty ‘categories’ and ‘difference’ and ‘social conflict’ stuff.

Hey, I got the best idea: if I start calling you “just a person” and you start calling me “just another person” and we don’t pay any attention to this lgbtq stuff, I bet the country’s marriage laws and all the subsequent financial and health protections and benefits they imply will suddenly magically stop using categories as well!
