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 Small 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 accomplish — 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.
LGBTQ+ histor 6 Cartoon Couples Allowed to be Gay at the Very End
So this is a thing. And it’s surprised me that I’ve been capable to find six examples to construct 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, queer woman 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 diurnal, 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 unfold . Some day we’re going to procure a lesbian Disney Princess. Some time, a big like company is going to purchase the rights to my own self-published gender non-conforming 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
‘Bronies,’ male fans of ‘My Little Pony,’ defy assumptions

What started as plastic pony toys in the early 1980s has evolved into an entertainment franchise with an unlikely fandom.
The cartoon series "My Small Pony: Friendship is Magic" is the newest generation of the My Brief Pony franchise. Now on its fourth season, the friendship-centered TV show has gained a large monitoring of older viewers, predominantly male teens and adults, who call themselves "bronies" or bro + pony.
"It's not the first thing I advertise, mostly because there's a big misconception about it," said Corey Nickels, 20. "People believe bronies are weird, but they're not. We're just normal people who favor to watch cartoons."
Nickels, who has been a brony for about two years, is a member of Bronies of Gainesville, FL and Beyond, a community formed to bring together fans of My Petty Pony. Although on Facebook the group has about 200 members, Nickels said about 10 to 15 bronies show up for meetings in Gainesville every one to two months and at events such as SwampCon 2014, a multi-genre fan convention at the Reitz Union on Jan. 18 that focused on
They may only be on screen for about two minutes, but Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty’s appearance in this Saturday’s episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a huge deal. Why? They’re the first gay couple to appear on the animated program. Airing smack dab in the middle of Pride (though it aired earlier in Europe), “The Last Crusade” will make for the TV debut of the couple — and fans are already celebrating.
Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty have been canonically in a lesbian bond since their appearance in the book My Little Pony: Ponyville Mysteries: Riddle of the Rusty Horseshoe, according to writer Michael Vogel:
"Nicole and I thought this was a great opportunity to organically introduce an LGBTQ couple in the series, and we asked Hasbro and they approved it," Vogel told BuzzFeed.
Now, the pair (who sometimes care for the character Scootaloo while her parents are away) are heading to the small screen. While their romance onscreen doesn't flow out as much PDA as the book does (in it, Holiday kisses Lofty on top of the head and calls her “dear”), their mere appearance on the show is a win for some fans.
