When live-actn televisn began makg roads for gay reprentatn durg the turn of the century, animatn remaed a tratgly straight (if equently queer-d) affair.

For example, years after “The Proud Fay” first aired, creator Ralph Farquhar admted that the character of Michael was wrten as gay, but had to be merely queer-d to nform wh Disney’s standards at the time.

As tens of thoands go onle to prott a gay scene Disney's upg 'Bety and the Beast,' s creators reame s meang. * gay cartoons in 2017 *

Between the Florida “Don’t Say Gay” bill and numero anti-trans laws passed red stat, there has been a ncentrated nservative effort to monize LGBTQ people and prevent discsn of sex and genr inty among children. It might not be the bt gay animated show, but between s numero LGBTQ characters and a seri fale set at a pri celebratn, might be the most gay animated show.

DISNEY DOWNPLAYS LGBT ANGLE AMID 'BEAST' BACKLASH, BUT CAN'T DODGE GAY CARTOON KISS

Anime fans had seen hundreds of shows of s ilk premiere before: sports seri ( this se, the sport is men’s figure skatg) where the protagonist (anx Japane performer Yuri Katsi) velops a blatantly homoerotic relatnship wh his bt iend/rival/mentor (his new ach, Rsian champn Viktor Nikiforov).

And beyond the central pair, the show works credibly well as the gay sports drama of your dreams, wh a banger openg and credibly animated and choreographed skatg sequenc that’ll have even the most figure skatg ignorant cheerg for Yuri to get the gold. Queer characters abound, om the gay dads of Willow to nonbary ven lear Rae, but the show’s heart and soul is the bisexual Luz’s relatnship wh girliend Amy, which ph both to bee the bt versns of themselv. Luckily, time has let Ameri tch up wh “Sailor Moon, ” and subbed versns of the origal Japane versn of the show, as well as a more accurate English dub, are both available on Hulu, allowg the effortlsly ol Haka and Michi to be gay and stop crime.

She-Ra and the “He-Man” anchise have always had a strong mpy appeal that ma at least gay-adjacent, but ND Stevenson’s acclaimed reboot of the anchise for Netflix rehgly dropped the -adjacent part pletely. The queerns and mps of the ics tends to get sand-off and replaced wh, at most, embarrassg tokenism serted to fill a diversy quota (the “first gay character” “Avengers: Endgame, ” anyone? In fact, three of the leadg mastream children’s ble channels — cludg Disney, Nickeloon and Cartoon Network — have shows wh gay or lbian are twelve popular children’s shows wh gay characters:Photo urty: Getty Imag/LtleBee80.
