LGBT Representation in My Petty Pony: Friendship is Magic
In hope we see some more in Generation 5.
While the representation was minimal, it’s also expected from a childrens network appreciate Hasbro, sadly. Hopefully, times have changed, and it’ll be less ham-fisted in g5.
Below the cut is a record of everything I could find, with some images. (Not all, because that would be a very long post.). Includes couples and gender identity.
LyraBon - Lyra and Bon Bon - Canon WLW couple
Appledash - Applejack and Rainbow Dash - HEAVILY implied WLW couple
Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty - Scootaloo’s canon WLW Aunties, confirmed by former partner producer and writer (originally from the comics)
Sappho - Lesbian
I had my reservations about including her, but just in case… An OC in a comic by artist Jenn Blake, who drew art of her and Rarity as a couple on her DA on more than one occasion. She has a womxn loving womxn symbol as her cutiemark. I’m taking this one with a grain of salt, though.
(Fandom names) Wiz Kid and Curly Winds - MLM - Equestria Girls - implied
Rarijack - Rarity and Applejack - Equestria Girls - VERY HEAVILY implied

6 Cartoon Couples Allowed to be Lgbtq+ at the Very End
So this is a thing. And it’s surprised me that I’ve been qualified to find six examples to produce this list. But the series finale of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power provided the last piece of the puzzle and I finally finished this article. It’s a sign of the times. There have been multiple instances where a cartoon show’s series finale finally allows certain characters to come out of the closet and be true to their gay, womxn loving womxn and/or bisexual selves.
I think it’s great! But it’s still weird that it’s only allowed to happen in the series finale, right?
Give us some series premiere action!
Some sunlight, we are going to get a show where the main character and their love interest are both openly queer. Or are both somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. It’s gonna occur. Some day we’re going to receive a lesbian Disney Princess. Some diurnal, a big imagine company is going to purchase the rights to my own self-published lgbtq+ comic, Gamer Lady & Vixen, and turn it into a popular, award-winning show! And no, that’s not the only reason I’m doing this list! I just wa

The difficulty is that she said on her dA account that she doesn't think it should own any gay characters, basically because she doesn't think it's appropriate for kids, because some people (like her) have this notion that homosexuality is inherently more "mature" and sexual than heterosexuality. (Hint: it's not.)Linky linky. Evidence. I'll have a glance at the words specific.
It may be more case of Lauren not wanting to own any sexual connotations in a kids show?
Depends on the wording.
Both heterosexuality and homosexuality can be considered mature, depending on what is portrayed and how it is portrayed.

LGBTQ+ themes in My Little Pony
| This article is a topic. It is meant to illustrate a theme, motif or recurring element throughout the My Tiny Pony franchise. As such, it's not truly an in-universe or out-of-universe article, but more of an essay of sorts. |
"With Josh and Nicole running the final season together, it was something we all wanted to carry out — bring this out couple into the final season and make them [LGBTQ+ people] ‘officially’ a part of the MLP nature. My Little Pony has always been about friendship and accepting people (or ponies) that are different from you. So it just felt like something important to do." |
As societal norms change and progress, LGBT representation in My Little Pony progressed greatly. In the late 2010s, numerous characters were confirmed to be LGBTQ+ and a handful of modern ones were introduced. In an out-of-universe perspective, My Small Pony was the target of numerous anti-LGBTQ+ controversies and strikes, due to its depiction of rainbows and other iconography attributed with LGBTQ+ culture in the earlier seasons, to outrage regarding same-sex couples in the later seasons.
