I went forward just calling this comic an Asian/SEA fantasy as most people wouldn't know what Hmong was anyways, and those who were Hmong would be able to understand when they see it.

Over time, more and more Hmong people (particularly queer Hmongs!) have reached out to me!

so writing a story about gay/trans Hmong men just felt very... not-Hmong. if you're not upholding Hmong values, it's taboo, a break from culture.

this is an identity issue many of us LGBTQ Hmongs face: the conflict of having to pick a side, rejecting being Hmong or being queer.

for the uninitiated, Hmong traditional values are patriarchal, cis-heteronormative, and strict to gender roles. there is a LOT I could cover in that regard, but unlike other groups that only developed such values from colonization, ours was always fully integrated in culture.

as AAPI month comes to a close, I wanted to talk about the reflecting I've been doing this month wrt my webcomic REEDS, a queer fantasy romance, being a Hmong story, and how uniquely difficult it has been to be open about that 🧵
