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.

They go on a getaway trip with a bunch of other married couples. But on the trip, they discover the trip leader, despite preaching acceptance for married couples and being a trailblazer of social reform, has his own prejudices. Specifically against same-sex couples.

In the next two pages, Fred explains why they’re ought to care about more than just themselves when it comes to preaching tolerance and rights.
