Heather Antos has done all she can lately to signal she’s a part of the “LGBTQIA+ community over the last year, perhaps in a last-ditch effort to become even more political and involved in identity politics as her comic industry crumbles around her. The writing’s on the wall for a lot of jobs, especially at IDW Publishing which has had multiple rounds of layoffs in the past year and a half, and these political identities often offer job protection. Now, in a recent interview, Heather Antos appears to come out as LGBTQ herself.
IDW Publishing has been in dire straits in recent times, delisting from the stock exchange while laying off more than 40% of its workforce in the last couple of years. They cut their entire creator-owned line in a blow to independent comics, and during that time, Heather Antos was promoted to the head of their licensing group.

She’s been an editor on the Star Trek line of comics the entire time, which was riddled with continuity errors in its latest publication before launching a new line that takes place after the Deep Space 9 series ends. Featuring two ongoing series, the current Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant books are the worst of fan fiction, mashing up characters from all of the series aboard two ships while they engage in space battles that are more akin to Star Wars than Star Trek.
Most recently, Heather Antos involved herself in a “When I Was Young” anthology, which is a creepy self-insert work by a transgender individual who wants to write stories about being groomed into LGBTQ ideologies. Heather Antos went so far as to try to promote this to school libraries for underage children to get indoctrinated in these ideologies.
If this weren’t enough, she’s greenlit a Star Trek anthology titled Celebrations, bringing in some of the worst of the worst in the comic industry to virtue signal with gay Star Trek characters. Embattled transgender activist Mags Visaggio is a part of this project as one of the writers.

In promotion of this upcoming anthology, Heather Antos appeared on the Traversing The Stars YouTube channel, which received very few views as of this writing. She talked about the upcoming issue, saying, “Pride is a protest word, and this is not a book of protest because in the 24th century, in the 31st century, in whatever century, we’re being celebrated.”
By using “we’re,” Heather Antos seems to imply she’s part of the LGBTQ group promoting “Pride Month,” which marks her outing as one of the alphabet mafia types. She didn’t elaborate as to which letter she identifies with.
“This isn’t a book that’s, you know, about protesting allowing people to exist with whatever identities they have. This is about celebrating the bad asses of these characters that just happen to already be a part of this universe,” Heather Antos said.
There is nothing “bad ass” about treating mental illness and sexual deviancy as a positive thing, however. The promotion of this is, by contrast, something to be condemned.

Archbishop Alexander Sample of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon noted in his A Catholic Response to Gender Identity that “‘gender identity theory’ [is] a framework that is increasingly dominant in Western culture.”
Archbishop Sample even speaks out against the mutilation of children for transgender ideology. He explains, “It is well documented that transgender people have higher risks of suicide, and thus it is supposed that these procedures are ultimately life-saving. However, these claims are not well supported by scientific evidence, particularly when it comes to treating gender dysphoric young people. … One of the few robust, long-term studies available found that individuals who have undergone medical transition have a rate of suicidality that is 19 times higher than the general population. … The evidence indicates that medical transition, at best, does not solve the problem of elevated suicidality and, at worst, exacerbates it.”
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of buzz behind the Star Trek: Celebrations anthology. Most posts on the matter on X seem to be ridiculing the concept. Will Heather Antos signaling she’s one of them increase sales? Leave a comment and let us know!

But Heather is putting out books.. No different than Mandy.. sin is sin.. why one gets pointed out more than others is hypocritical, JDA. Why one gets called names (ala from ya boi zack) but someone else gets white-knighted because they are in the clique is stupid and no different from the mainstream. I am sick of this crap.
They should go after her she fired the trans writer/artist from tmnt and hired the straight white guy jason aaron to replace them. Not only that she defended tom taylor from being called out and then attacked his accusers.
Nope, I don’t buy Heather Antos being LGBT. She’s a con artist, taking advantage of the LGBT community.
