CCL & A Lesbian Superhero ~ Sounds Promising ;)
OK so remember that cool new lesbian superhero I told you guys about? Iridian.
Well as it turns out, her creator, Paul J Salamoff is cool as hell! He’s such a great individual and talented writer who’s created a lesbian superhero, helloooooo!!!!! Do you get how cool this is? Do you get how important this type of project is for our community and for the future little members of our community to have role models like this in the media?? Well, it’s super duper important.
I feel so strongly about this and want to do my part to hep make sure this campaign gets funded within the next 5 days that I have agreed to donate 5 limited edition pieces, made just for “The Tales of Discord” as part of an incentive package for his backers. I’m not getting paid for this, I’m donating it, because I really believe that visibility is important. And having gay and lesbian superheroes becoming a more common thing can be a real game changer for young people struggling with their identities. It helps young people to see themselves reflected in comic books, movies, media. It really does matter.
So I’m basically pleading with you to donate to this project and help make it happen. If you can’t donate on the “Iridian tier” please give whatever you can. Even $5 or $10 will help! And come back here and let us know, that you played hero for the day and helped make this a reality.
The following a press release from Salamoff introducing the new tier. š

Hey Kristy,
So glad to hear that you’re interested in it š
Ypou may want to check out the Kickstarter Page: http://kck.st/TalesOfDiscord.
For as little as a $2 contribution you’ll get a .pdf version of TALES OF DISCORD: IRIDIAN (The plan is to have that ready by Aug.), but there’s also other Tiers where you can get the entire series as well as the original DISCORD graphic novel.
Your support of the project would be most appreciated.
I really wish I could donate š but I don’t even have the money to get more pants without holes in them. All of my pants are falling apart. I give my hopes and passing the message as a donation though!
Hey Lee “ButchKitty”,
Trust me your moral support and good will goes a LONG way!!!
