LGBT representation in children's television programming is representation of LGBT topics, themes, and people in television programming meant for children. LGBT representation in children's programming was often uncommon to non-existent for much of television's history up to the 2010s but has significantly increased since then.
The media portrayal of LGBT people is the depiction or portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in media. The initialism LGBT is commonly used to include gender change concepts and all non-heterosexual sexual orientations represented in shorthand. Although the initialism originated in North America, media representation of LGBT communities may be examined on a global scale, with varying degrees of tolerance.
For many years, LGBTQ representation increased on animated series and animated films. In the 1990s, LGBTQ characters were depicted in animated series like South Park, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, and The Simpsons. In the early 2000s, LGBTQ+ representation increased in Western animation, culminating in GLAAD's "Where We Are in TV" report in 2005, even as representation in such animation was scattered and disparate. In the 2000s, series like Queer Duck, The Oblongs, The Venture Bros., Drawn Together, and Archer would air. It would not be until the advent of shows like Steven Universe and Adventure Time in the 2010s, that LGBTQ+ characters in animation would gain more of a prominent role, leading to shows such as She-Ra and the Princesses of Power in 2018 and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts in 2020, along with other series in the 2020s. This page will show this progress by building off the lists of animated series which contain these characters and explain the History of LGBT characters in animation. It does not focus on LGBTQ characters in anime series or films, which is examined on the History of LGBT anime page.
In the 2010s, the number of LGBTQ characters, and storylines about them, in Western animation were rocky. During the decade Allen Gregory, Voltron: Legendary Defender, BoJack Horseman, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, The Loud House, BoJack Horseman, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Twelve Forever, The Bravest Knight, Steven Universe, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes premiered on various platforms. Shows began in the 2000s like American Dad!, Archer, and The Cleveland Show featured LGBTQ characters, as did South Park which began in 1997 and The Simpsons which began in 1989. Shows in later years would follow the same pattern. Increased representation of LGBTQ characters would continue in the 2020s.
In the 2020s, LGBTQ representation in animated series and animated films became more pronounced than it had in the 2010s when it came to Western animation. This included series like The Owl House, Harley Quinn, Adventure Time: Distant Lands, RWBY, Helluva Boss, and DeadEndia. Series like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Steven Universe Future, The Hollow, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, which had various LGBTQ characters, came to an end in 2020. Upcoming seasons of Hazbin Hotel and gen:LOCK were hinted, while like an animated adaption of Lumberjanes was in development.
Netflix has contributed substantially to LGBT representation in animation throughout the 2010s and 2020s. GLAAD described Netflix as a company taking "impressive strides in viewership and impact," when it came to LGBTQ representation. Examples of original Netflix animated series with a large presence of LGBTQ characters include Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. In January 2021, GLAAD specifically highlighted the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power series finale which confirmed "its lead two characters, Catra and Adora, were queer and in love," and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts which starred Benson, a gay character, and his love interest, Troy.
LGBT representation in American adult animation has been ongoing for years. This includes series such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad!, Drawn Together, Bob's Burgers, Allen Gregory, Venture Bros., Star Trek: Lower Decks, Futurama, The Awesomes, and Brickleberry.
Cartoon Network and LGBT representation have a long history, although it is not until recently that those characters entered the main cast of animations on the channel. In the 2010s, Cartoon Network became one of the key places for shows with LGBTQ characters and storylines. Some reviewers argued that when Disney and Cartoon Network are compared, its "easy to see who actually cares about LGBT representation," noting that for shows on Cartoon Network, "LGBT characters aren't centered around their sexuality." Others noted that the network hosted shows which were "strong champions for LGBT representation," like Adventure Time and Steven Universe. However, the creator of Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar was told point-blank by executives that queer romance could have ended her show.
