On Loving Women By Diane Obomsawin

Video (4:17): Leaf through and review (by Literally Graphic) of ‘On Loving Women’, acollection of stories about coming out, first love, and sexual identity by illustrator and annimated film mæker Diane Obomsawin.

On Loving Women / J’aime les filles (2014) focuses primarily on adolescence—crushes on high school teachers, awkwardness on first dates — but also addresses much deeper-seated difficulties of being out: fears of rejection and of not being who others want one to be. Within these pages, Obomsawin has forged a poignant, powerful narrative that speaks to the difficulties of coming out and the joys of being loved. – Literally Graphic
