Review; Love Is Love: A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting by Marc Andreyko and others
As I'm a fan of graphic novels and comics in addition to being bisexual, I couldn't resist the comic anthology Love Is Love: A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting by Marc Andreyko and others. Today I'll post my review.

My Thoughts on the Book
Love is Love is a moving tribute, with a great variety of comics in it. What annoyed me a bit with the anthology was that there were very few comics with bisexuals and trans people and in one instance a trans person was deadnamed. Also, although the anthology was a tribute to the Pulse victims, was it really necessary portraying them as they were on the floor bleeding/dying? It's also evident that a lot of the creators were straight, as some of the comics were a bit distant in a way.
But gotta give the anthology credit where it's due, which is raising awareness, and money, towards LGBT+ causes.
