Mário César joins us to discuss his comics career, including his incredible graphic novel and webcomic Blessed Cure. We discuss where the comic came from, fighting against anti-LGBTQ+ hate, creating community, and healing and loving your queer self in a world that doesn’t want you to. We also talk about the conference he started, Poc CON, being a Brazilian artist, and so much more! Co-hosted by special guest host Craig Hale, this episode is our second Pride Month Extravaganza interview for 2023!
Trigger warnings: Please be aware that this episode is filled with discussions of homophobia, discrimination, conversion therapy, anti-queer legislation. Starts around 17:30 and continues through the end
