Out of all the comics to address discrimination within the LGBT community, The Flintstones wasn’t what I expected. But here we are.
Issue #4.
Fred and Wilma are facing discrimination from the people of Bedrock for their monogamous lifestyle, which goes against the free-for-all fuckfest that is the norm in the prehistoric society. A clear metaphor for same-sex couples.
