"The Meaning of Lila" isn't running in a lot of papers, but it is still an excellent strip IMO and can be viewed online here:

The term “gay strip” has many meanings: a physical location, like a gayborhood; a naughty, burlesque activity; or, the one Clevelander John Forgetta would prefer, a welcome change.
Forgetta is the creator and writer of The Meaning of Lila, a comic strip about the lives of a working girl and her gay best friend that appears in 20 mainstream newspapers across the country. In fact, Lila is the first strip to feature a gay ongoing, main character — a groundbreaking feat with local ties.
However, waving the rainbow flag in a black-and-white comic strip hasn’t always been easy. Forgetta’s had to endure hate mail from the Heartland and faces a decline in newspapers that seems to get worse each day. But despite these challenges, one thing’s for sure: The funny pages have never been so fabulous.

Although he’s only been authoring the nationally syndicated strip The Meaning of Lila for about five years, John Forgetta’s been writing cartoons for as long as he can remember.
“I used to draw comics as a kid and then give them out to my neighbors, whether they wanted them or not,” the New York native says. “I left it in their mailboxes, copied on colored paper and tied with a ribbon. Why I had to come out to my mother, I’ll never know.”
Forgetta landed his first professional comics gig at a small newspaper in Boston shortly after graduating from college. The strip, Speckled Eggs, which followed the adventures of a snarky Dalmatian and a naïve turtle, won a national award but was never picked up by other papers. He created a few more titles, but it wasn’t until he conceived The Meaning of Lila that he signed his first syndication agreement.
