Alison’s Bechdel (creator or, more accurately, popularizer of the Bechdel Test) created a memoir that is part coming out story and part My Girl in her graphic novel Fun Home.

There are still some signs of the museum not being finished (such as the stairs of doom), but it’s a nice little museum…with some caveats.
