Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston introduces a Gay character into her nationally syndicated strip, “For Better or For Worse.” Nineteen papers cancelled the strip and forty asked for substitutions. One result of the story line was that Johnston was made a jury-selected “nominated finalist” for the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1994. The Pulitzer board said the strip “sensitively depicted a youth’s disclosure of his homosexuality and its effect on his family and friends.”
