Out of all the comics to address discrimination within the LGBT community, The Flintstones wasn’t what I expected. But here we are.
Issue #4.
Fred and Wilma are facing discrimination from the people of Bedrock for their monogamous lifestyle, which goes against the free-for-all fuckfest that is the norm in the prehistoric society. A clear metaphor for same-sex couples.
They go on a getaway trip with a bunch of other married couples. But on the trip, they discover the trip leader, despite preaching acceptance for married couples and being a trailblazer of social reform, has his own prejudices. Specifically against same-sex couples.
In the next two pages, Fred explains why they’re ought to care about more than just themselves when it comes to preaching tolerance and rights.
isn’t this the same comic where fred and barney committed a genocide
The very next issue to the marriage one is the genocide issue.
“Early on I made the producers and director mood boards of Lara Jean’s style. I wanted them to understand that even though To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is a contemporary realistic story and not Harry Potter or Hunger Games, her style is crucial to understanding the character. In my notes, I wrote, “It might not be what a teenaged guy would find sexy, but it’s what she feels pretty in, and for an introverted girl, it’s a way for her to express herself. Just like her bedroom.” It’s 60s meets 90s meets Asian streetwear. She is a girl that looks at Korean fashion blogs, goes to vintage shops, scours the internet for the perfect thing.” Jenny Han
