7 Queer Things We're Looking Forward to at San Diego Comic-Con 2019

There's so much for LGBTQ+ nerd to do at this year's San Diego Comic-Con!

Every July, San Diego's convention center transforms itself into Comic-Con International (better known as San Diego Comic-Con), a highly-attended mecca of pop culture and the best place for superhero and science fiction lovers to be. And for all the queer nerds out there, SDCC has plenty of offerings that cater specifically towards LGBTQ+ fandoms! 

Here's some of the events we'll be looking forward to at SDCC 2019 this weekend!
