Andrew Wheeler, Hey Mary

According to the author, this is 'not an autobiographical work'.

You don't say.

This isn't just cringe. It's depressingly cringe. Wheeler is supposed to have written a comic book about what it's like to be a gay Catholic teenager, and yet he clearly knows nothing about Catholics - either what Catholics believe, or even how they speak.

Something tells me this is just self-justification (and of course the normalisation of one's own peccadilloes) masquerading as a plea for tolerance, whilst at the same time exploiting a sort of American anti-Catholic bigotry that is very old and very nasty indeed.
