Rain
Comic 506 - Vast
Author Notes:
I also thought there were a lot less back then (like, I literally thought LGBT was all there was). As I've gone, I've learned how there are so many - so VERY many - different sexual and romantic orientations and gender identities out there. I am STILL learning new things to this day. And it's helping me learn not just about the diverse people in this world, but also quite a bit about myself too. (I don't remember if I ever mentioned it here, but I'm still working out my own sexual orientation.)
It's fascinating and wonderful to see all this diversity, and yet also extremely overwhelming. And it's really put into perspective just how lofty my initial goal was. I'm starting to believe that including everything might be kinda tricky (especially given that I have barely begun to scratch the surface). Not to mention, as has been made clear to me with the last page, I've still got a lot to learn. So I'm just going to say this: I'm going to do the best I can. It's all I can do, really. ^_^
Worst case scenario, I plan on writing for the rest of my life. If Rain ends and your denomination isn't covered, I might just be saving it for the next story. ^_^

Also, I've said this before, but I'm trying to raise money for SRS, and I'm still struggling with it. If you can help, it would be most welcome. If not, don’t worry about it. I totally understand (you don't need to feel bad or apologize if you can’t).
My guess...
Maria and Emily broke up over Emily's orientation (being something I'm sure Maria had never heard before)
I have more but at the risk of being right and spoiling a future storyline I'm going to leave it at that. It would be kind of spooky if I'm right.
The fear that causes the words to stick in your throat isn't rational. It is painful to watch, because it is so obvious. However, I can empathize.
This is not technically pertinent to anything going on in the comic right now, but I'll be on Time 4 T with Claire Parker and Closetspace's Jenn Dolari on Radio Reverb at 3PM British Summer Time (er... I think that's like 11AM EST?).
Anyway, behold my voice and awkward rambling direct to your ears! ^_^

This is your cue to come out to Emily. You know *two* of her secrets now, and there's plenty of reason to think she'd be cool with you being trans. And I'd give odds that she at least suspects.
