Happy Pride Month everyone! Pride Month starts in June in honor of the Stonewall Riots in 1969, where members of the LGBTQ+ community protested police raids at Stonewall Inn in New York. This marked a turning point in the gay liberation movement and we are honored to be recognizing this event! Pride is a time to celebrate inclusivity and the people in our lives/our OC's in the queer community!

If LGBTQIA+ webcomic characters make you happy, keep reading! The CANVAS team came together to gush about some of our fav OC’s (in no particular order) and reasons why we love them.
