Graphic Novels with Homosexual Characters
This is mostly for Brandon, but if others are wondering where are the superheroes of the GLBT community I have a suggestion. DC Comics makes a wonderful superhero series called "The Authority." Two of the main superheroes Apollo and Midnighter are openly gay characters who are married to one another. They also raise Jenny Sparks (on and off again), who is another member of the superhero team whose age fluctuates over the course of the series. Might be something worth checking out if you are examining queer theory for your final project.

"Funhouse" is an autobiographical/realistic fiction graphic novel about a young lesbian woman. (Also falls into the "dysfunctional family" genre.)
