This isn’t totally on the topic of this blog, but it is important to the issue of marginalization and representation in the comics industry and it’s also super important in general, so I want to share it.  This is my friend, Jay Edidin (of Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men fame) who was an assistant editor at Dark Horse Comics on the hypocrisy of Dark Horse promoting itself as LGBT-Friendly when it treats queer and trans employees so poorly. (shared with permission)

(and as for the concern that covering trans healthcare is too expensive for a “small” company like Dark Horse: Barry Deutsch offered a rebuttal with evidence here: https://twitter.com/barrydeutsch/status/1005941450264068096, but beyond that, what Jay is alleging is more than just coverage but that it is part of a systemic culture from management that is hostile to queer and trans people (& to criticism) )

Dark Horse has since issued a statement here: https://twitter.com/DarkHorseComics/status/1006633440110829568

And Jay’s response to that statement is here: https://twitter.com/RaeBeta/status/1006651984441757696

As well, for those wondering how to help regarding the situation, he has listed suggestions in this thread: https://twitter.com/RaeBeta/status/1006723157464580097

Jesus…

Knowing this…I won’t be supporting Dark Horse any longer

I’ll miss buying titles like BPRD and Zodiac Star Force but

Until I hear that Dark Horse has completely changed the way it treats it’s queer and trans employees and is giving them the basic respect and decency they deserve  I’m just not going to be comfortable putting anything by this company on my pull list

I really never would have imagined that Dark Horse treated its employees so horribly?

This is absolutely horrific. I will no longer be supporting Dark Horse either, until this is changed.

@scotsdragon

Well that’s me no longer supporting Dark Horse either. 

Fuck ‘em.

With any luck some of the creators we like who do stuff for Dark Horse will jump ship and take their series elsewhere as well <3

Good news: Dark Horse Comics reverses its anti-trans healthcare stance, will insure trans employees!
