[[LGBT]] themes and characters were historically omitted intentionally from the content of [[comic strips]] and [[comic books]], due to either [[censorship]], the perception that LGBT representation was inappropriate for children, or the perception that comics as a medium were for children. In recent years, the number of LGBT characters in mainstream comics has increased greatly. There exist a large amount of openly gay and lesbian comic creators that self-publish their work on the internet. These include amateur works, as well as more "mainstream" works, such as ''[[Kyle's Bed & Breakfast]]''.<ref name=AfterElton>{{cite web|url=http://afterelton.com/print/2006/10/gaycomics.html?page=0,2 |website=[[AfterEllen.com and TheBacklot.com|AfterElton.com]] |title=Gay Comics 101 |page=3 |last=Palmer |first=Joe |date=2006-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015095150/http://afterelton.com/print/2006/10/gaycomics.html?page=0%2C2 |archive-date=2007-10-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref> According to Andrew Wheeler from ''[[Comics Alliance]]'', webcomics "provide a platform to so many queer voices that might otherwise go undiscovered."<ref name=ComicsAlliance>{{cite news|url=http://comicsalliance.com/comics-pride-month-50-most-important-lgbt-comics-characters/ |work=[[Comics Alliance]] |title=Comics Pride: 50 Comics and Characters That Resonate with LGBT Readers |last=Wheeler |first=Andrew |date=2012-06-29 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140326142201/http://comicsalliance.com/comics-pride-month-50-most-important-lgbt-comics-characters/ |archivedate=2014-03-26 }}</ref>

Webcomic characters

LGBT themes and characters were historically omitted intentionally from the content of comic strips and comic books, due to either censorship, the perception that LGBT representation was inappropriate for children, or the perception that comics as a medium were for children. In recent years, the number of LGBT characters in mainstream comics has increased greatly. There exist a large amount of openly gay and lesbian comic creators that self-publish their work on the internet. These include amateur works, as well as more "mainstream" works, such as Kyle's Bed & Breakfast.[118] According to Andrew Wheeler from Comics Alliance, webcomics "provide a platform to so many queer voices that might otherwise go undiscovered."[119]
