I was going to draw a collection of LGBT gods, but ended up just drawing this voodoo spirit/god family. (Yes, they're real gods. I didn't make them up)

In the middle is Baron Samedi, the death and sex god who collects the spirits of the dead, and the head of the Guédé family. He is very rude but not evil, quite fun loving and bisexual (Disney's dr. Facilier was based on this guy).

On the right is his wife Maman Brigitte, another powerful death goddess, and one of the very few white gods in the voodoo religion. She's just as rude as her husband and protects gravestones in cemeteries if they're marked with a cross.

On the left is their son Ghede Nibo, who takes care of those who die young. He is sometimes depicted as an effeminate drag queen, and is said to make women lesbian or make them want to wear men's clothes.

Cute family, yes? :XD:

Woah I just realized something- a few months ago I went to a drag club. I didn't know anything about vodou at that time (I just started reading about it), but I noticed, among the crowd of bar patrons, was a dapper man dressed in impeccable formal attire. He even had a cane, gloves, and a top hat. He'd quietly wade his way to the stage and give money to the performers during their acts. He made an impression on me for sure.

And now, I learn about the Baron's son being a drag queen! I'm pretty stunned at the coincidences!

ANYWAY this is very good! I love their expressions. And their bodies are very cute!
