What is Queer Animation?

Queer Animation traces the history and provides information about the often overlooked queer representation found in animation. From the obscure to the mainstream, this digital archive serves as a way to map how queer representation has changed and evolved during its century-long history. This Substack provides a bit of a peek under the hood as the website continues to develop and prepare for its June 2023 launch.
