Garnet is delighted, and names them, and they set out on an adventure together. Steven Universe is in the run-off with She-Ra for being the gayest show ever - not gayest cartoon ever, gayest show ever - and one of the most celebrated characters is Stevonnie, the fusion of Steven and Connie Maheswaran, who appears for the first time in “Alone Together,” bending the heck out of gender and using they/them pronouns. The show was so gay in season five, there was no way to dub it out, and so the U.S. COUSINS! They also tried to erase Uranus’ and Zoisite’ genderqueer-ness, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venuses declaration that they don’t need boys, and Fish Eye’s trans-ness. Take, for example, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus here.
networks tried so many ways to make Sailor Moon not gay, but it never worked. “Chosen Family,” the show’s Pride parade, also showcases animations of Gaby Dunn and Jen Richards in an episode that focuses on a young trans girl finding her way toward being herself. It’s adorable, and overt in its gayness (which wasn’t true of all cartoons five years ago), and it’s aimed at a younger audience than so many of the shows that have repeat episodes on this list.Īmazon Prime’s series, which was co-created by queer and trans artist and writer Shadi Petosky, features more queer voice actors than any show ever, including: Stephanie Beatriz, Jasika Nicole, Angelica Ross, Cameron Esposito, Rhea Butcher, Tyler Ford, Jazz Jennings, Laura Zak and also Petosky. With ten Loud House sisters, at least one of them has to be gay, right? Just, statistically? Yes, actually! Her name is Luna and in 2017’s “L Is For Love” episode, the show explores her crush on a friend named Sam, who just happens to be a girl, and the show just happens to pay off the mystery like it’s no big deal. It seems like it’s going to end in disaster, like most of their other psuedo-dates and flirting, but at the last minute they each blurt out their desire to go on a date and even hold hands. The Owl House, “Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Hooty’s Door”Īfter (literally) dancing around their feelings for each other for nearly an entire season, Luz and Amity are forced to confront their affection when Hooty sends them on a horrifying / romantic trip through the tunnel of love he builds in The Owl House’s basement. Something she never recovers from, which is also one of the gayest things on this list. It also confirms Pearl’s deep, eternal, and unrequited love for Rose. It unravels so much of Steven Universe’s backstory, including the long-kept secret of Rose Quartz’s identity, which sends nearly every character on the show into an emotional spiral. “A Single Pale Rose” is easily the most heart-stomping episode on this list. In case there was ever any question in your mind that Peppermint Patty is gay. In fact, Race For Your Life was the precursor to Schulz’s extensive work around Title IX. Queer fans speculated about Korra and Asami’s relationship for most of the later seasons of the show, and when they walked off together, hand-in-hand, and the show’s writers confirmed it was a gay walk-off, it launched half a dozen more queer cartoon ships and paved the way for Korrasami’s very canonically queer comic book series.ĭid you know the flag Peppermint Patty sticks on top of her all-girls team raft in Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown is the Women’s Liberation Flag? Which makes perfect sense when you consider that Peppermint Patty’s whole deal was inspired by Billie Jean King, whom Charles Schulz met and said was one of his top three heroes, and whose real life work featured heavily in his Peanuts comic strips and animated series.

The Legend of Korra‘s series finale is often considered the modern day kick-off of queer animation. The episode also features the super gay break-up anthem “I’m Just Your Problem.” PB gives up her most sentimental possession - a t-shirt given to her by Marcy - to get Marcy’s most sentimental possession (her teddy bear!) back from the bog witch who stole it. “Sky Witch” confirms what Adventure Time‘s queer fans long believed: that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum are ex-girlfriends whose present day animosity is rooted in broken hearts. I hope you’ll add your favorites in the comments! And so I’ve done a deep dive and assembled a list of 30 of the best lesbian, bisexual, and queer episodes of animated TV.

When I started writing about gay TV, there were no queer characters on all-ages TV at all, and now there’s more than I can even keep up with.
I’ve never grown out of my love for cartoons, and it’s a good thing because I firmly believe some of the best LGBTQ+ storytelling to ever grace our teevees has happened in animated series. The 200 Best Lesbian, Bisexual & Queer Movies Of All Time.LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now.
