No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics chronicles the journeys of five scrappy, queer artists from the margins of the underground comics scene to mainstream acceptance. They tackled the humor in Queer lives in a changing world and the everyday pursuits of love, sex and community.
The film will be followed by a discussion with Kal Neveau, OU alum and creator of "The Sacrifice's Purpose" comic series, and Isabel Clare Paul and Tim Retzloff, creators of "Come Out! In Detroit," a comic that tells the story of Michigan's first LGBTQ+ Pride celebration.
