Comments
Steven Universe is groundbreaking for queer representation in animation/children’s television; not only do the main characters explore themes of nonbinary womanhood and gender fluidity, but the series creator emphasized queer representation in the show’s cast and crew. Characters explore non-heteronormative family dynamics, lesbian relationships, trauma, and growing up, all within a story inspired by “magical girl,” themes and tropes. The series creator, Rebecca Sugar, identifies as nonbinary, bisexual, and genderfluid.
The show does a lot to normalize non-hetero relationships for a young audience. I’m really happy to see it getting the recognition that it deserves!
I am SO happy to see Steven Universe on this list!
