Hey /co/, I am part of a group that helps homeless and at-risk youth (primarily age 13-23), whom are mostly LGBT, and we provide a safe space for them where they can chill, stay off the streets, get some food, and watch TV/read/get help on homework. I fund a big part of the respite whenever I can and buy groceries and other supplies for them on the regular, and I am building the library for the youth because I think encouraging young people's reading is important. As an artfag comic lover myself, of course I'd want to fill the respite with books and graphic novels that are enriching, interesting, fun, or just downright fucking hilarious (humor is a good medicine during shitty times). Or simply novels with great stories and awesome artwork is good as well.

I prefer topics that are LGBT friendly, socially conscious, stimulates thought, is written by authors who are gay or trans themselves, or books about historical figures who also happen to be LGBT (such as biography about Alan Turing). It doesn't have to be these, but it's preferred. What do you think young people would love that's also enriching for them? (btw Simon Stålenhag isn't gay, or least from what I know. I just know that he has very interesting and great artwork and maybe some artistically inclined kid at the respite will appreciate it).

Here is my meager list so far: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2HEFUJGTWCY85/

Feel free to provide input on the content I have in my list so far, or suggest something else.

Also feel free to also recommend videogames and shows that would be awesome for our respite.

I appreciate it!

I did make a crosspost on reddit but I'll be honest, I think /co/ has better taste when it comes to art than non-artists and people who aren't necessarily inclined towards graphic novels. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things as I am sure the kids at the respite will still like it.

Plus, the comics can be neither of those but simply entertaining for people 13-23. These are kids trying to take a break from the shitfest of a life, I just want to give them a good time.

Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin is very much about gender, I'd add that since you already have the Dispossessed. From cape comics you have Batwoman: Elegy, Gotham Central, and Midnighter. Non-cape there's like Soupy Leaves Home, Sandman, and probably a fair swath of Fantagraphics books. Also I'd recommend the Little Miss Sunshine movie.

Wow Mr. Shit Poster. You have just spoken out against the very thing that the lgbt community attempts to stand for.
>lgbt friendly: special snowflake and biased against non lgbt
>socially conscious: lgbt refuses to acknowledge that kids raised in transexual homes have higher rates of problems in learning and social interaction
>stimulates thought: but it has to include lgbt themes? how can one stimulate thought when it is pandered to only one idea/one people group?
Written by authors who gay or trans themselves: Personal bias and racism against anyone who is not lgbt.

I'll be honest I find most of them shit, like you'd be better of just getting marvel adventure shit because it's cute but none of it is LGBT. Most kids unless they are obnoxious sjw types won't like it most comic book lgbt books in my experience lesbians have it easy woth indies but gay books rarely if ever happen from what I've seen. it's not usually not done well.
>>
>>94318750

lgbt friendly OR socially conscious OR stimulates thought OR is written by authors who are gay or trans themselves, or books about historical figures who also happen to be lgbt

It's a preference because those things are not as common (let alone all at once), it's not a necessity. As I said, suggest anything you think kids 13-23 would like.

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is good, not really LGBT but it's got some good messages and a pretty good story.

IDW Transformers, plenty of gay robots in that one.

IDW's Jem, because it's outrageous.

Then there's the current Iceman, not my cup of tea but it fits what you're asking for.

Don't, for the love of god, get them America. You probably hear a lot of stuff about the run happening right now, but the main thing is that it's written by an insufferable asshole who treats being gay like it's the coolest thing ever. Don't turn the kids into self-righteous cunts.

The gigantic beard that was evil; was a fun little read in which conformity is breached and seemingly the entire world panics.


lost at sea;
the scott pilgrim series;
seconds.

all by brian lee o'malley, and all are about young aged people finding themselves and overcoming their anxieties/ mistakes/ and heartaches.


Beauty; is a fun graphic novel where an ugly girl is cursed to be the most beautiful girl to whoever is looking at her. it causes he life to become miserable until she finally takes a stand for herself. showing that looks without determination don't amount to much.

I can't actually think of too many at the moment. It's been a while since i've read a bunch of graphic novels, but i've never understood the issue of reliability. I'd much more the children/ young adults find something they have fun reading, even if they can't relate to the author on a personal level.

With, I'm on a tablet. I make mistakes. I've seen a lot of lesbian indies, but like zero gay ones. Most comic book portrayals tend to be obnoxious as fuck. Iceman is terrible. almost every trans side character is hamfisted and brings the books down when they are in. It's all about shit like "microaggressions" most gay characters and arcs are so bland it's sad. I'm gay I want better gay characters but the only fucking one THE ONLY ONE is midnighter and I wouldn't give midnighter as a book to relax it's just a high octane sex and blood rampage.

Damn your list has pretty much all my suggestions. Saga is very fun and accessible and has LGBT characters. "How I made it to eighteen" is a good book for depressed teens. There was another autobiographical graphic novel I read in high school I liked but I can't remember what it was called.

I'd recommend Black Hole: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Hole-Pantheon-Graphic-Novels/dp/0375714723/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501566398&sr=8-1&keywords=black+hole+graphic+novel

It's a graphic novel about growing up through adolescence n' so on, but told through a story about a bunch of highschool kids getting an STD that causes mild to horrible mutations. It's weird and gross, but a good story for people trying to figure out sex stuff.

Another general recommendation I'd make is, The Cartoon History of the Universe: https://www.amazon.com/Cartoon-History-Universe-Volumes-1-7/dp/0385265204/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501566614&sr=8-1&keywords=cartoon+history+of+the+universe

It covers basically everything (there's about five editions) in history up to modern times and looking back it still is and was a pretty important book for me to read as a kid as it provided me with the comforting HISTORICAL CONTEXT to understand that people have always been the same.

That's all I can think of at the moment. I don't really know any lgbt or whatever authors or books, so I'm just going on the basis that they're like ordinary teens and will like what I liked when I was an angtsy teen.

For comics written by a gay person check Fun House and Dykes to Watch For.
Gotham Central, Enigma and Maggie The Mechanic are all pretty good comics with lgbt characters, even if their creator aren't.

It's not super /co/-related, but I was a pretty depressed kid. Folks going through a divorce, suicidal, depressed. All that jazz. What honestly really helped me? Mobile Suit Gundam. The original series really struck a chord with me. Amuro being a shitty kid in a bad situation and being forced to grow up really hit home for me. It's bleak for what it is, but it ends on an overall positive note.

I'd really recommend Gundam: The Origin. Yas' excellent art and the more developed storyline will probably keep most kids entertained.

>>94318366
No see, they should stay on the streets. They're homeless and at risk because they're LGBT. If they get a taste of reality and learn that life fucking sucks and you need to do actual work to survive instead of demand everything be handed to you on a silver platter because you want to be a pampered special snowflake, they may actually learn a lesson.

They chose to be faggots. It doesn't give them a free pass in life. Stop enabling them. Let them learn from their mistakes the hard way like everyone else has to.

Say what you will. I got kicked to the curb when I was young. I didn't have any help. There was no support network for me.

There comes a point where people have to either stand up and take charge of their lives or continue to enmesh themselves in codependency and justify their lack of agency on themselves or their circumstances.

I think it's more that they want stuff that will appeal to these kids and make them feel like...

Okay so if your parents kicked you out and your family disowned you for being gay or trans or whatever, that's gonna make you feel like being gay or trans or whatever is wrong or something bad, something to be ashamed of (don't say anything, /pol/, we already know what you're going to say), so stocking the place with books and comics that have progressive messages and creators will make them feel accepted, like maybe being whatever-you-are isn't a big deal.

I'm sure OP can get plenty of good non-LGBT decent books/movies/etc from any old place. Barnes and Noble, the LCS, goodwill, wherever.

Nah, OP's asking for comics or graphic novels with LGBT themes. It's a multi-board request for sure, /co/ or /lgbt/ is a good choice either way.

And of course MLP is technically /co/, but they got too out of control and had to be contained.

I did that once. The book was awful. I mean if you like bland tasteless swill sure gay books are fine it's like gay media 90% focused on coming out and it's all the fucking same. No genre is as bad as the lgbt genre at least when it comes to G. Don't know about trans or lesbians.

The "support network" I had was a fucking foster care system that ripped me away from the only family I had, asshole.

Sure, there were counselors and people to "help" but I was just another fucking cog in the state run bureaucracy. Another fucking file to be handed off.

They do because in most cases gay people don't act like that. Yaoi is especially terrible when it comes stockholm syndrome, abuse, and other tropes because it's jußt fetish porn for women, shonen ai can be better but the one thing that really isn't something that happens ever is the japanese female idea that almost no one is gay, they're just gay for one person.

just tell them the truth:
If they want to live in this world, they have to learn to adapt. That doesn't mean they should be forced to become straight, but that they are a minority. Everyone has something about them that makes them a minority, but most people choose to not let that thing become their identity.

So teaching kids that they belong to a special group and can only relate to others of that same group distance them from everyone else, essentially dividing society even more instead of bringing it together.

So instead of providing a "safe space", create an educational space that teaches them what i just said and then send them off to the same homeless and at-risk youth centers that everyone else goes to as well

They say not to judge, but in reality they are judging their own bodies as not matching this feminine image they think they should have.
Which according to "new feminism" makes them a sufferer of Stockholm syndrome because they begin to believe the lies of other transexuals and other lgbt members who can afford such surgeries, but these people who cannot ultimately wind up becoming prostitutes so they can buy dangerous hormones (illegally) to try to complete this image they think they should have, but they fail because the people they get them from unlicensed sellers, and they go into every increasing debt to pay for surgeries and other such nonsense.
And then they start complaining and whining to everyone that they are victims of societal oppression when in reality they are only victims of their own inability to manage their money, accept their bodies for what they are (which is what the lgbt community says they are for when in reality they aren't) and of the mindset created by other members of the lgbt community.

> it does not mean it has to be shitty to other people, anon.

Shittiness is a matter of perspective. The fact that trans people throw themselves in front of cars even in places that are accepting of them is indicative of something.

They don't need a support network.

They need a fucking reality check, preferably a direct deposit, preferably an account that deals with common sense.
>>
>>94320050
I never said deserve. The problem with the average community center is it's run by the local government out of a vague sense of obligation. The people giving the money don't actually care.

The gay ones are usually smaller, more private affairs because they're opened by concerned citizens to fill a perceived absence.

Logically, the solution would be for more people to take an interest in providing a decent place for kids to hang out without whether or not they're a minority having to be involved.

But you can't force charity.

OP, I'd consider some works related to job skills, and finance. Being able to have fuck you money, to buy some distance from parents or whoever is a game changer.

Limiting myself only to things in TPB format. I'm also focusing more on solid stories than the specific demographics you mentioned. I would also not neglect /a/.

Usagi Yojimbo: Classic award winning all ages samurai comic, combining anthro animals and Akira Kurosawa

Martha Washington: Martha Washington grows up in the worst ghetto in America, joins the millitary to fight for a better life.

Habibi: Mixes a narrative of a poor woman in the middle east's struggles with poverty, with classic persian/ottoman/mid eastern tales, and weaves it seamlessly with abstract islamic style geometric art. Pic related.

Hellboy, Bone, Sandman: You should already know these.

I'm sure some anon has mentioned saga, which is popular, award winning and has quite a bit of queer relationships. I actually hate the fuck out of it, but given your current list, it seems like an obvious choice.

There's been no problems with trans service members for years. He's only making a problem of it because the senate republifags wanted him to rile the base against transpeople in the military because that's something that's holding up the defense authorization spending, which would also pay for the wall. He went completely overboard and made them look stupid. That, combined with the Obamacare repeal failing, has even the right cheesed off at him.

That is where you're wrong sir/madam because I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary in this past election

I find both of them to be unethical,unlikable, and untrustworthy people to be in political office. I would much rather have had O'malley (democrat) or Ron Paul (republican) in the final running to be president. Furthermore the entire election , by both candidates, was horrific.
Media didn't even air any of the republican debates on basic cable, yet showed all the debates of the democrats.
The Debates (last couple) were always centered on Hillary, Sanders, or Trump. O'malley barely had any time to speak and present his views. The media completely ignored Ron Paul.
Why has every election sucked since Al Gore vs. Bush?

Not /co/, but I think paranoia agent and satoshi kon's work in general is pretty good stuff for queen kids, since it deals so heavily with self identity. Plus PA is about not looking for an excuse out of life, but to accept personal respondability, which is a good thing to teach any kid.

It helps that they're also really engaging works with good animation and writing to boot.

MLP is always going to be about the magical horse show, no matter what, because it's specifically MLP.

Now LGBT covers a broader base. You can gay character like Midnighter and Apollo, you can have LGBT themes like in Jem or Transformers or Runaways. The point is it covers more than just one specific show, it's a broad spectrum.

Horse show stuff, like W40k stuff, got its board because it was memed to death on /co/ / /b/.

Other boards, like /o/ or /sp/, are put there as a natural gathering point for discusions that might not otheriwse be able to occur. One is a quarantine, the other is a gathering point. Things in quarantine only get to stay in quarantine, things at gathering points might be seen elsewhere if they fit.

So in the same way someone might ask about martial arts comics here or on /asp/, or talk about about pictures of forests on /p/ or /an/, so too would you want LGBT comic recs on /lgbt/ or /co/. There's overlap.

This is literally all graphic novels. I seriously can't think of ANY acclaimed graphic novels that are overtly anti-gay, and of course BEING socially conscious and stimulating thought is what garners acclaim generally.

that list is full of meme-tier pretentious garbage. this is a troll thread.

but i'm going to give you some real advice, anyway - don't try to compete with your local libraries. a lot of your homeless youth are probably already regulars there. focus on what you can do that other public spaces and services can't. if you still think you can do more to encourage them to read, see about working with your local library system, setting up a book loan or book truck visit, getting them all signed up and making them aware of what the library offers.

it's because examples 1, 2, and 3 in your post were/are being spammed too much all over 4chan. Every board has some off-topic stuff some of the time but if one subject is forced into every thread then that subject gets hit with a global rule eventually.

Cassandra Cain Batgirl - only the Batgirl comics though.

It's not a gay/trans comic but the main character isn't neurotypical - she was raised to be the perfect fighter but has little understanding of people and to begin with can't even speak.

In between the action scenes is mostly her trying to relate to the world she now lives in - whilst everyone around her tries to force her to be what they think she should be.

I figure there's at least something there for lgbt kids to relate to.

OP here. I was also on the streets once and was in the foster home. I went through it but that doesn't mean other people have to. Some hard knocks make us stronger and forge us under fire, but there comes a point where any suffering beyond that is pointless and unnecessary. It actually start weakening the person's will and psyche.

> I advocate strength, will, and self actualization in the face of adversity.

Those don't come out of a vacuum. We are taught coping skills, taught how to be strong. It takes a village to raise a child, except many kids are abandoned when they're LGBT.

Here is an analogy - imagine that the hardships of life is like the iron at the gym. When you begin bench pressing, you start weak, and the iron is heavy. VERY HEAVY. You'll progress a lot faster and get stronger, with least risk of damage when you have someone to spot you. This is what the respite and other support groups provide - to be the spotters of life, and the iron that many LGBT kids start with is usually heavier than that of the kids who aren't, so it's only a given that they need extra support. Many non-LGBT kids already have people in the community willing to spot for them and look after them, but LGBT kids usually don't. They usually must lift the iron alone. The respite for LGBT kids isn't a privilege or an advantage, it's a supplement for people already disadvantaged than the majority.

(yes, I am a follower of Brodin and I worship Him at the Iron Temple. Wheymen.)

I'm honestly not sure why you're buying Graphic novels for HOMELESS kids, instead of, I don't know, buying them literally anything else, but alright.

First off: fuck you for doing that. Second: I didn't say that, but almost all of the books that focus around LGBTPB&JBBQP are shit. This is because the people who tell these stories are not authors, they're ideologues. There are stories out there with elements of that crap, but it's basically a tertiary thing at best. Like Batman and The Outsiders... I wanna say V4 or The Runaways (until Joss Whedon smeared his cock all over it), or Empowered, or or or, but if they FOCUS on LGBT stuff, they're almost guaranteed to be trash. Look at what happened to Spinnerrette.
>>
>>94321556
So suggest those things. Shit The Spire has a lesbian MC and it's not about that but it's pretty good. Lead character in Old Guard is bisexual, another two are a m/m couple - not about that, but it's there. Shade the Changing Girl has bisexual leads but you get that in passing at like issue #6.

OP mainly wants to do a good thing. I don't see the reason to hate or start sperging out about fags.

> don't try to compete with your local libraries. a lot of your homeless youth are probably already regulars there. focus on what you can do that other public spaces and services can't.

Trust me, I already looked. There's a good selection, but at the same time not really. Especially not LGBT or anything borderline sexual (we're pretty conservative). They don't even have Blacksad around the libraries where I am. It's the town. I know what a good library looks like. I've been to better libraries in wealthier and ritzier areas, but I don't live in that world anymore and neither do these kids. I was surprised when I found The Sculptor at a local library.

I've thought about arranging a visit to a local college's library (and maybe give the kids the idea to attend), but I haven't looked at the logistics of it yet, and I wonder what the respite manager or the library manager would say. It's the best publically accessible library in town, IMO. These kids are smart, they know where to get what they want, don't get me wrong. It's just the town and it's still nice to have books that are... ours, you know? We want to make this a home.

Former social worker here whos clients were at risk youth
The vast majority of "homeless" lgbt, but not all, are voluntarily homeless, i.e. runaways
They come out, have a big fight, the parent says something like "you're not dating the same sex while you live here" amd the kid, instead of waiting until they're independent, just packs up and jumps from friend to friend
At risk is a nice way of saying prone to criminal activity (theft and drugs)
These kids likely receive various social services from other sources (like goodwill) and OP is more or less jist trying to provide moral support for an extremely small group that, unlike most, have an actual community that want to personally invest in them.

Maybe, maybe not, but they're still going to appreciate a GOOD story that's fun to read, more than a shitty story, filled with unlikable characters, who have no trials or tribulations, but also happen to be closer to their demographic. People are inspired and admire those who have gone through difficult things and come out on top, this is why The Dresden Files is popular and considered good. If Dresden was gay, the story'd still be good, because ultimately, he's still a mortal man fighting way above his weightclass.

To this suggestion I want to add that Jimmy Olsen in this comic is maybe someone relevant to LGBT youths. He's a hommage to his comics from the SIlver Age where he assumed a different identity (for research and other purposes) in nearly every issue. Sometimes he became a superhero himself, sometimes a woman etc.pp.

Grant Morrison here gives him a column where he does exactly that for a living, not minding running around in womens clothing, even relishing it without being insecure about it.

It's no wonder these kids or adults lose faith in the system.

Wrong.
It does hurt them, and the people around them. Read the damn statistics on homosexual behavior.

Though, to be fair, homos are sane when compared to fucking trannies. Now those people, are truly insane, and the fact that our modern society encourages their delusions and encourages them to self mutilate, will be seen by our descendants with equal revulsion with which we view lobotomy.

The Wrenchies is pretty good, don't know enough about the creators to know if any of them are LGBT and the story isn't really directly regarding LGBT issues in any overt way, but it is about displaced youth and the horror of encroaching maturity and how easy it is to overcompensate with reckless and self-destructive behavior.

I do. The food bank-tier canned beans, breads, and carb stuff is plenty, but I but I get them the stuff they usually don't get from donations - meat, milk, fresh produce, spice, warm meals. Food just to survive is relatively easy to get. You can bring homecooked meals, or bring make something at the community kitchen. We have adults too, and it's usually the majority-age and the older teens who are homeless.

What's really needed are clothes and blankets. Especially socks and underwear, and toiletries. Feminine hygiene stuff for the girls are one of the biggest things that people don't think about donating or providing, so those usually have to be bought.

What a lot of the kids need is someone to talk to and a sense of community, and we already have people who take care of that. I mostly provide the means and the material stuff (I am relatively well off compared to most volunteers). I talk to the kids too but I am more like a peer to them (I am 24) than really a mentor. I'll draw with them and help them with their homework (former calculus and chemistry tutor). Not that the kids come here to work on their homework lol, but I am available if they need me.

Oh btw speaking of donating, you'll get the best bang for your buck if you donate directly because organizations can buy things in bulk and get greater deals than you can.

Personally I would avoid a lot of the current Marvel titles because their gays, trans, etc. characters are just the delicate SJW types who can do no wrong and the other characters just smother them with validation and praise that actually makes them seem like pathetic invalids incapable of anything. People should not be congratulated ad nauseam for punching some bystander with an opposing opinion.

Yeah I have 75 on the amazon list so far, and some more saved in a note file. This isn't counting the comics I already have at hand that I am willing to risk never seeing again (I wouldn't be surprised if some of the kids take the comic books for themselves, which I personally don't care about as long as they pay it forward in the future). Very happy with the selection I have at the moment, and I think this is a good start.

Speaking of libraries, I was surprised to find Blankets and The Sculptor at the public library. I wondered how they ended up there, who came up with putting it in the library, whether it was bought by the library staff or donated, and who is that interesting person who donated it? Not that the librarian had any info, or it was confidential. Generally graphic novels are hard to find in this town. I remember when I used to live in a highly educated, wealthier neighborhood and we had a really good library... we had Usagi Yojimbo, Maus, Tank Girl, Bones, Persepolis, Akira, Calvin n Hobbes, bunch of Marvel stuff, Cartoon History of the Universe, and not just one or two volumes but the WHOLE SET per series. There's more I just don't remember at the moment. I ate that shit up. Reading through this thread made me feel like a child again.

The libraries around here however have a decent selection of regular books though, or at least the college library does. The public ones seem understocked, especially the podunk/hood areas and the outskirts of the town.

Wrong. Most homeless are women, especially older women past working age (like the one I am taking care of). The reason you see less women on the streets is because there's a lot of women-only shelters and women are more likely to use the service and abide by their rules. The reason why there are more men on the street is because the male-accepting homeless shelters suck. It's the few handful of crazies that make it dangerous for everyone else. It's dirty, very restrictive with tight curfew, the workers treat you like shit, you get your shit stolen all the time, and honestly it's better to retain your dignity and your own "turf" at some corner where you can sleep at a familiar place, no matter how rock hard the concrete is, and generally be left alone. I still talk to homeless men on the street while they eat the hotdog I bought at the gas station or something, sometimes hold hands with them if they don't smell too bad. Seriously they want human interaction more than the food itself, I think. A lot of homeless guys claim to be veterans, but their patches (and lack of) say otherwise. Not that I am going to pick on them for it. And yes, I am very, very angry at how veterans are chewed and spit out after they serve our country.

By the way this isn't an regular thing for me because I am generally running errands and I ignore the guys at the streets holding cardboard signs, just like everyone else. You can't always help everyone at every time, you'll get burnt out.

Good to help teens in trouble and need help, though don't get exactly why you wanna focus on helping LGBT teens (or is it mere coincidence most homeless teens are lgbt).

Either way goodluck, anon.

That's only true if you count people that suck dick for drugs.

>>94323033
>LGBT teens (or is it mere coincidence most homeless teens are lgbt).

about half of homeless youth are lgbt. I focus on LGBT because it hits close to home for me, not that I don't give a shit about the things other people go through. It's the thing I am most familiar with.

A lot of bad things going on in this world but you can't fight every battle equally, like how not everyone can be a doctor/plumber/farmer/researcher at the same time. You have to specialize and focus.

seriously though, /pol/ aside, you will need to be careful if you are picking up modern LGBT stuff, especially from Marvel, a lot of their characters are included purely for tokenism or to push the agenda of the writer and nothing bad ever happens to them.

As I think someone else in the thread said, its better for people to read about characters working to overcome trials and living to their ideals than it is to see the latest non-binary character skip through life having everyone congratulate them for existing

Fair nuff.

Either way I'd recommend Deadman Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love.
https://www.amazon.com/Deadman-Dark-Mansion-Forbidden-Love/dp/1401268412
A very recent trade to come out, so it'll be cheap and easy to get.
About a young woman and her boyfriend moving into an old mansion that's haunted. While the girl can see ghosts, she is trying her best to hide this to avoid judgement from her love, and with the help of her trans best friend (as well as DC ghost with the most Deadman) they will solve the dark mystery of the ghost haunting the mansion.
The story doesn't get as dark as some other DC supernatural stories so even the easily frightened teen could muscle through the scares for the romance plots and fairly decent mystery story.

While its not the focus, Demon Knights has a number of LGBT characters, particularly Shining Knight who's gender neutral. It can get a bit edgy at times but its a fun D&D style adventure series set in the DCU's past.

Nobody replied to your Sandman question. While it's a prequel it's better off being read after you read the 80s to 90s series. One book has a trans woman with shitty friends and family friends just a warning. I don't think it's that transphobic as a trans woman in the closet somewhat but could trigger.

Bone full collection (black & white) is most of the series outside of Rose and the eh Tales book. Coda is not needed (mostly behind the scenes) and the guide is a skip. The stand alone volumes are colored.

Another suggestion would be either recent Secret Six runs.
Both runs by Gail Simone basically just loving to write villains, takes the old DC group title Secret Six and revamps them as a mercenary organization of C list villains being badass.

https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Six-Vol-Friends-Places/dp/1401254853/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501588257&sr=1-6&keywords=Secret+Six
This link is to the more recent run. Not nearly as good as her other run but a lil more lgbt related with the new addition of Porcelain the genderfluid supervillain they all accept right away and treat equally.
https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Six-Vol-Villains-United/dp/1401250750/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501588257&sr=1-2&keywords=Secret+Six
This link is for Villains United the beginning of Gail's old52 run. Considered by most to be the better run of the two (though really they're both pretty good). I'd say the only challenge of this run is buying in the right order, since Secret Six was a few miniseries before it got its own ongoing.

But doesn't your post have at least 3 buzzwords in it?
"/co/mblr"
"memes"
"buzzwords"

If you're trying to be serious, you simply come off as stupid. If you're just acting dumb for the sake of trolling, you're simply the level of annoyance of a fly wanting to buzz near someone eating dinner.

Brainwashing isn't real. Cults have extremely low retention percentages, in the single digits (and that's only official members, not people they merely advertise to). The others are people who are considered likely to be getting social or financial benefits from the cult, not some miserable slaves.
Sure, they can convince people of beliefs, sometimes even ones you disagree with. But that doesn't mean they magically become zombies immune to reason.

Another good recent DC comic is Shade the Changing Girl.
https://www.amazon.com/Shade-Changing-Girl-Vol-Animal/dp/1401270999

Inspired by her favorite poet Rac Shade, a birdalien chick dropout decides to steal the madness vest that he used to leave the planet Meta and possess the body of a highschool girl coma patient.

I agree with you, but these support networks that "try to help kids of the streets" don't do anything outside of cookie cutter efforts that are there just to make the org leaders satisfied with their own life than achieving their goals

I've seen plenty of them and arely doe sone achieve anything. Naive idealism at it's worst.

OP here. Just bought 9 books so far, still open to suggestions of course.

>>94324226

The best charitable thing you can do is treat your immediate circle around you well - your family, your neighbors, your friends. If everyone took care of eachother in their circle, we wouldn't need respites and charities. Charity starts at home: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/charity-begins-at-home.html

Some individuals are so mentally ill that not even their immediate family members can help them, and this is how a lot of adults end up homeless.

But the kids however, they're different. A lot of them aren't inherently fucked up, they're just in a bad place and with a bit of help they can usually stand on their own. Even if they come in as legit idiots (and I won't lie, some people who come in are tumblrinas who claim to be demi-pan-sexual, socially retarded, have severe personality issues), you never know who straightens up if you give them the chance. And sometimes it's like raising the classroom butterfly, where you release the butterfly just to see it get swooped up by a bird a couple seconds later as all your first graders stand there screaming and crying.

Now don't get me wrong, as volunteers who see the individual kids for just a fraction of their lives, there's only so much we can do. But this is still better than nothing, and vast majority of the kids who come through are better off for it IMO. I am here today and not a total fuck up because there were still people outside my family who pitched in and helped me. Another thing you can do is just focus on a few people, even just one, and help them the best you can. You can't save the world, but you might save that one person. Sure, a lot of the kids who come by, I don't know what's gonna happen to them 5 years from now, but if I can help even just one out of the many, it counts.
>>
>>94324550
Don't be so focused on pandering literature.

The last thing a kid whose having difficulty with his identity and orientation wants is to have someone come up to them and say "these are the comics for people like you, these are the cartoons for people like you, etc"

I remember reading a book called Muchachos (?) here on /co/. It's about some Latin American revolution and the main character was gay. I don't know if it's officially translated into English though. It was pretty good.
