Noreen Stevens

The Chosen Family is featured in the ensemble comic book Dyke Strippers: Lesbian Cartoonists from A to Z alongside the likes of Diane DiMassa and Alison Bechdel.

Also in that same year, she began producing and self-syndicating bi-weekly strips to LGBTQ+ newspapers and magazines in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia, including Xtra!, Swerve, Herizons, Chicago Outlines and The Washington Blade.

[3] Their goal was to mount billboards across Winnipeg that would condemn homophobia in Canada through a series of photographs of queer people in different scenarios, in order to normalize homosexuality in the early 90s.

The result was a pile up of homophobic messages, which Stevens and Spence played for the first time during a gallery show labeled Passion Pink.

Stevens' strips also appeared in The Body Politic, Ms., Gay Comix, A Queer Sense of Humor, Weenie-Toons!, the Women's Glib [5] series, and several feminist and LGBTQ+ anthologies.
