Queer Benefits #346: Saving Money
The “Queer Benefits” comic started out as a made-up series, but we came to realize it was an idea worth expanding into a genuine recurrent theme. Unfortunately, being queer just comes with so many tongue-in-cheek “benefits,” so why not share them with the world? We hope you enjoy them, and feel free to let us know what you’d like to see next!
At least that shows you which relatives are a-holes who do not deserve presents anyway.
It does! I love how being queer gives you a good excuse to finally unmask and drop bigot and douche relatives, with the support of the others. Straight and cis people don’t get to do that as easily. :p
“Straight and cis people don’t get to do that as easily. :p”
I’ve found that my research field accomplished this quite ably. 😀 They also don’t ask me to say grace at holiday dinners anymore. Bonus!
In all sincerity though (I don’t want to seem flippant in the first comment, and tone is really hard to get across sometimes), it sucks when the people who ought to be supportive end up being nasty people.
So yeah, no presents for them.
(Sorry, I habitually second-guess myself on comments. Sorry.)
True, but when their desire to come across as an accepting, morally righteous neighbour kicks in, quite a few gift seasons can pass by in which you give away tissue boxes and get bread makers in turn.
Love it! It’s so cute and hopefully will make a few people think.
I’ve seen this picture a few minutes after it has been posted, then later showed it to someone, then came back yesterday, then just came back again and I just realized that I had no clue about the gender of the person (which is totally cool). It seems that the possibility of trying to determine the gender of a real or imagined person takes longer and longer to appear in my head. I’m glad about this. Conditioning takes quite some time to be undone, but it’s feasible!
There’s also that other queer benefit that Mike Huckabee was enviously talking about recently, how trans women have the privilege to go into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms in order to see them naked. Because that’s the only reason anyone would be trans.
TO be fair, how else would someone be able to see nude women? Totally worth all the negative social consequences to see maybe one or two attractive, many average, and probably a handful of pretty unattractive women changing into gym clothing and probably a good deal of them still leaving their bras and panties on. It’s really your only option now that Sears won’t deliver their catalog to your house anymore due to.. you know.. reasons.
Man, making me feel sorry for having such a nice family. Glad i can draw them gifts, not that expensive HUEHUE

Wow. O_O I suddenly had a flashback about how nervous you guys were about opening your comics to comments. And now you’re actually asking for more feedback. n_n
You guys are awesome. I’d love to see a bit more strips about K’s schiz though. O_o
