[PinkAlpaca] Love

When I see love:

Thanks for clearing my nostrils.

This may be controversial to ask, but...

What's the difference? Isn't love just love? Should there really be a distinction? Won't that only cause more divide? Does this comic imply that one loving relationship is better or more special than another?

@BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world has one take on it that may indeed be accurate. My take was just queer representation. I have the same reaction as a gay dude. Seeing queer couples out and about both makes me happy that we're moving in a direction where that can happen without constant fear and because I get to see people like me and don't feel so alone
- Representation is something I get.
  Other than that, I really don't care who is in a relationship with who if it's not my relationship.
  I don't have to be attracted to that partner, so it doesn't matter to me what gender that person has.
I love this. Your comment and questions warm my heart.
Let me show you darkness. There are people that view queer love as evil or contemptible, not only “lesser than” straight love. This comic plays on that idea by shifting the other direction. If straight love is “normal” and cute, then queer love is “radical” and defiant. This is the joke.
One of them could get you shot, or worse, if the wrong person sees it. It's not better, but it's arguably more brave. So yeah, I'll celebrate that one a little bit more.

Your post history is a veritable treasure trove! Thanks for all your hard work

Lol what sad sacks downvoted this
- I refuse to let people have joy the wrong way!! -them, probably

The eyebrows are a nice touch.

Elaborate? Eyebrows?
- The lines of hair above one's eyes.
- Not sure and not queer here.
  But my guess is, that the woman in the cis pic has very trimmed, slim eyebrows - while the others have more natural looking brows. Maybe because the queer folk don't need to play the "stereotypical female game". They are defining their own sense of femininity, so no need for conforming with patriarchal stereotypes?
  Again, just my guess. If I'm wrong: please explain. I'm always willing to learn & evolve.
