One of the most creative and pro-LGBT voices in the comics industry, Gail Simone, breaks down another barrier by introducing a trans character in Batgirl
After an unprecendented online outcry from fans, DC has reversed its controversial (and bone-headed) firing of Batgirl scribe and fan-favorite Gail Simone.
Inspired by the campy 1960’s Batgirl, a librarian by day and a masked superhero by night, the comic nerds of Geeks Out and the librarians of Que(e)ry joined forces to throw the biggest queer geek bash of the summer: Beach Blanket Batgrrl.
Writer Gail Simone discusses the future of Barbara Gordon and her alter ego, the character's loyal gay fans, and the similar struggles both women and the LGBTQ community face in comics.
