WHAT SHE-RA AND THE PRCS OF POWER’S GAY KISS MEANS TO ITS COMMUNY
Badass Gay. GAY.
KIDS' NETFLIX CARTOON 'SHE-RA' INTRODUC GAY CHARACTERS
(DreamWorks / Netflix) I’d bee so ed to beg let down the past that I’d unknowgly ternalized some of the homophobic arguments that have been ma for years about what is or isn’t “appropriate, ” pecially for kids. Strangers on the ter still thk ’s funny to make homophobic ’s this TV show that lets all kids, and specifilly queer kids, see that beg hont about their feelgs n make them a hero is as excg as is important.

It ma the world of Etheria herently gay, and jt an tegral part of who the characters are, somethg that wasn’t out of the ordary.

“They weren’t characters who were outwardly gay or lbian, ” Stevenson said. But we live a world where children are treated as priste angels who don’t need to know about topics like sexualy right away, and Stevenson lls that ridiculo: “There’s nothg appropriate about beg gay and livg your life.
