It&#8217;s actually gotten much worse since I started reading comics &#8211; back then no one would have drawn the crotch in such bizarre detail. (Consider yourself warned).\n<li>Maggie Gallagher recently published the story of an adult child who (gasp) doesn&#8217;t think her lesbian parents did a good job raising her. (Good thing children of straight parents never feel that way!) Then, defending herself from charges of drawing conclusions from an anecdote, Ms. Gallagher argued that she just published it because &#8220;is a viewpoint I have NEVER seen represented in print. Not once.&#8221;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lathefamily.org\/warren3\/blogs\/000838.shtml\">Daddy, Papa and Me <\/a>makes an interesting point:\n<div class=\"snip\">&#8230;out of the decade or more [she&#8217;s been writing] about gay adoption, parenting, and marriage, Ms. Gallagher has NEVER seen a story like this represented in print?

Sure to annoy fans of the internet-comics movement, which is totally ignored; but still worth reading for the quotes from cartoonists like Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Chester Brown, Julie Doucet, Alan Moore, and many other brilliant people.
