In 2019, Arthur, the long-running PBS series nearly an anthropomorphic, schoolhouse-aged aardvark, aired an episode called "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone." Colloquially, it became known equally the "Gay Rat Nuptials" episode, and it received a swell of support from queer fans, allies and organizations like GLAAD. Withal, even every bit recently as two years agone, that episode also faced immense backlash from homophobic detractors for portraying a queer wedding — for being inclusive.
Simply this wasn't the starting time fourth dimension the show depicted LGBTQ+ folks. Back in 2005, Arthur starting time faced backlash due to a spin-off episode, "Postcards From Buster." In it, Arthur'due south rabbit pal, Buster, visited actual (live-action) families — and one of those families happened to be a lesbian couple from Vermont. The public outcry was so huge that the then-U.S. Secretarial assistant of Didactics demanded PBS return the public funds it used to create the episode. And that was only 16 years ago.
"Until very recently, LGBTQ+ people would look to media and not have any representation or would only take a negative stereotype to place with," wrote Apr Sizemore-Barber, a professor in the women's and gender studies program at Georgetown Academy. "This absenteeism of stories leads to ignorance among members of the full general public [who don't run into LGBTQ+ stories represented] and isolation for those who identify as LGBTQ+ and are implicitly told that they don't exist."
In blitheness, for example, Disney has a long history of queer-coding its villains; even today, the studio reduces queer characters into blink-and-you-miss-it scenes, oftentimes played for laughs. So, yes, it's clear that a lot of work needs to be washed. And a lot of that work falls on the folks who are green-lighting shows and films.Arthur's one-off episode, for case, can help normalize queer families, but shows similarSteven Universe andKipo and the Historic period of Wonderbeasts are moving the punch even further on a more than regular basis.

Animated Goggle box Series
Steven Universe
Created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network, Steven Universe tells the coming-of-age story of the titular boy (Zach Callison). Although Steven's dad is a car launder-owning rock musician, his mom, Rose Quartz, was a gem — a magical, humanoid alien from outer infinite. Years ago, Rose led the Crystal Gems, a rebel grouping, in a war to protect Earth from her alien Homeworld, which sought to colonize World and strip it of its resources. When she gives birth to Steven, Rose passes on her powers and life-strength, leaving the other members of the Crystal Gems — Garnet (Estelle), Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) — to raise Steven and protect Earth in Rose'due south stead.
This decidedly queer Peabody Award-winning show is frequently hilarious and fun, but it also speaks to the importance of chosen family unit and how to form healthy interpersonal relationships. While at that place's a lot of smashing LGBTQ+ representation, information technology'due south worth pointing out a few characters in particular. In order to become stronger, Steven Universe's Precious stone characters can fuse together when needed. But Steven, our one-half-Gem and half-homo protagonist, has the uncanny ability to fuse with his man friend, Connie Maheswaran (Grace Rolek). Together, the duo make up Stevonnie. In addition to using gender-neutral pronouns, Stevonnie shared in a Cartoon Network PSA that they are non-binary and intersex.
Other history-making characters include Ruby and Sapphire, the two Gems who fuse to make Estelle'due south Garnet. However, instead of fusing temporarily, Ruby and Sapphire remain Garnet (almost always) as an expression of their dearest. Sugar, the creator and showrunner, has said that the "Gems are all nonbinary women… They're coded female… They wouldn't think of themselves as women, but they're fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans." In a 2018 episode, Ruby asks Sapphire to marry her, marking the first aforementioned-sex activity proposal in mainstream children's TV — which, of course, was followed past a groundbreaking wedding episode.
Blueish'south Clues
To celebrate the starting time of Pride Calendar month, Nickelodeon's long-running Blueish's Clues hosted an incredibly intersectional virtual Pride parade. Drag Race contestant Nina Westward hosted the parade — in cartoon course, of grade — by singing a tune that celebrated the various families in attendance. "When a cartoon elevate queen leads me on a three-minute journey through the magic of embracing the queer family in all of its multifaceted glory, who am I to say no?" writes BuzzFeed'due south Mary Colussi — and we couldn't concord more. Without a doubt, Nick Jr.'southward landmark parade is a slap-up style to introduce youngsters to various LGBTQ+ identities and families.
The Owl Firm
Information technology'southward no secret that Disney'south big-screen representation has been sorely defective. In addition to queerbaiting fans, Disney has used the promise of on-screen representation to garner buzz for their films, and, in the cease, that buzz amounts to aught much. In the alive-action remake of Beauty and the Animate being (2017), queerness was played for laughs. Two years later, in Avengers: Endgame (2019), an unnamed, inconsequential human mentions going on a date with another man. And, that same year, in Star Wars: Episode 9 – The Rising of Skywalker, 2 women share a truly glimmer-and-you-miss-it celebratory kiss; in that aforementioned scene, even a Resistance member embracing a infinite slug gets more onscreen visibility.
While nosotros wish the visitor was as enthusiastic virtually queer protagonists as Raya and the Last Dragon star Kelly Marie Tran, at that place's some hope in the form of Disney Channel'due south The Owl Business firm. Disney'southward first queer blithe pb appearing on TV instead of in a theatrical release isn't surprising; although the evidence has been banned in several countries due to its LGBTQ+ representation, its success doesn't hinge on box office draw.
Regardless of the corporation's messy track record, we love The Owl House. The testify centers on Luz Noceda, a man teenager who stumbles through a portal to another (more magical) globe and becomes a witch'due south amateur. Since its debut, the GLAAD Media Laurels-nominated show has received praise for featuring several LGBTQ+ characters — and for depicting a romance betwixt Luz, who creator Dana Terrace has confirmed is bisexual, and the prodigious young witch and lesbian Amity Bane.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Created by Eisner Honor-winning comic writer/artist Noelle Stevenson (Nimona, Lumberjanes), She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a reboot of the 1985 serial She-Ra: Princess of Power — a spinoff of He-Human being and the Masters of the Universe. The serial' protagonist is Adora, a teenager who trained alongside her then-friend Catra in the Lord Hordak's (evil) Horde army.
In the pilot, Adora gains the power to turn herself into the show's titular heroine and, together with a group of other magical princesses, vows to defeat Hordak. The testify is total of queer characters, including a nonbinary, shapeshifting character named Double Problem (Jacob Tobia) and Spinerella and Netossa, two queer women in a same-sexual practice relationship. Additionally, the Emmy- and GLAAD Media Award-nominated show has been praised for taking on hard topics, such as the circuitous best friend-turned-archenemy relationship between Adora and Catra, which — spoiler warning! — culminates in a very articulate, and very queer, declaration of dearest in the prove's recent final flavour. With a diverse bandage and a great mix of action, sense of humor and feels, She-Ra is an epic romp you won't want to miss.
Kipo and the Historic period of Wonderbeasts
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is Netflix'southward under-the-radar gem you should be watching — for many reasons. One of those reasons? Information technology treats coming out similar whatsoever other part of life. It isn't the source of drama or tension; instead, it'southward a sweet moment shared between friends. Created past Radford Sechrist, the show tells the story of Kipo Oak, who traverses a mail-apocalyptic country in search of her begetter. On her journey, she befriends both man and mutant animal pals.
When Kipo tells Benson, ane of her human friends, that she likes him, he shares that he likes her every bit a friend because he's gay — and he actually says the words, "I'1000 gay." Writing for Polygon, Petrana Radulovic notes that the scene is "a showtime for all-ages animation," considering even on shows like She-Ra or Steven Universe, characters don't declare their queerness. "I could argue that it's a matter of showing and not telling," Radulovic points out, referring to the way queer characters on other shows just are, no declarations needed. "…but there's a different effect to a character proclaiming 'I'1000 gay,' allow lonely a pb character." The series as well features Asher, a non-binary character, and Troy, a gay character who's crushing on Benson only as much every bit Benson'south crushing on him.
Young Justice
Rounding out our picks is DC Comics' Young Justice, which features Halo. A fusion of Gabrielle Daou, a deceased Quraci girl, and the spirit of a Motherbox, or "living reckoner," Halo joins Nightwing'due south squad of heroes. Halo doesn't view themself as Gabrielle anymore, instead going by the pseudonym Violet Harper, and, while they don't explicitly use the term "non-binary" at first, they do announce that they don't know if they are a male child or a girl when misgendered by a teammate.
Although shows similar Young Justice and Arthur aren't as lauded for their representation as some of the other entries on our listing, these storylines and characters do reflect changing norms, not just in children's programming, but in society at large — and that's incredibly meaningful.
Feature-Length Films
Gamble Time: Afar Lands — Obsidian (2020)
For years, Adventure Time's Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch) and Marceline the Vampire Queen (Olivia Olson) had some subtextual romance brewing. In fact, it was strongly implied both in the prove and in spin-off comics that the two were exes.

The Half of It (2020)
Saving Face (2004) marked Alice Wu'due south directorial debut and, honestly, a filmmaker couldn't ask for a better first outing. Now, over a decade later, Wu released her sophomore feature, The Half of It, on Netflix to slap-up acclamation. Pitched as a "different kind of honey story," The Half of It is a loose retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story — with a queer twist. Or what Rolling Stone describes every bit a "quietly revolutionary accomplishment…brimming over with pleasures of the unexpected."
Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) lives in the small town of Squahamish, and she spends her time writing papers for her peers in exchange for money and handling her dad's station main and signalman duties at the boondocks'due south railroad train cease. When she meets Paul Munsky (Daniel Diemer), a well-significant just inarticulate jock, Ellie writes letters on Paul'southward behalf to Aster Flores (Alexxis Lemire), his crush — and, as it turns out, Ellie'southward crush, also. While it was marketed (in role) as a YA rom-com, the picture is more than longing than first romances, but it still feels refreshing. After all, every bit Lewis points out, "[i]t's a self-love story… [the characters] end upward with something… It is a dear story, it's just not a 'romance' story."
The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021)

After a father-daughter fight on Katie's last night home, Rick decides to abolish Katie's flight and take the family unit on one terminal road trip. Simply, equally fate would have information technology, Mark (Eric André), the founder of the tech company PAL, a kind of Amazon/Apple combo, accidentally triggers the robot apocalypse. This leaves the dysfunctional Mitchell family — which is rounded out by Katie's mom, Linda (Maya Rudolph); Katie's dinosaur-loving brother, Aaron (Michael Rianda); and the family dog Monchi (Doug the Pug) — to relieve the globe.
The Mitchells vs. the Machines is also visually stunning: each frame is packed with so much item and takes inspiration from Katie's journaling and cobbled-together short film aesthetic, giving information technology a personal (and appropriately frenetic) experience. All-time of all, the team behind the pic have worked on standout animated fare, like Gravity Falls and Spider-Human: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and then you know there will be a lot of heart and some sharp humor. Plus, Katie is queer — and, by the end of the motion-picture show, has a potential girlfriend — just, thankfully, none of the drama or heartache revolves around her coming out or identity.

While Korra and Mako don't last more than than a half season, the Avatar does end up finding truthful love.
