The History of Queer Animation



Take a deep dive into the history of LGBTQIA+ animators and representation in animation. We’re taking a look back over the last 90 years – from the Hays Code to Steven Universe – to see how queerness in animation and its critical reception has evolved over the years and what the future may hold!

  1. Reminds me how in the new live-action monster high musical they're making, they made Clawdeen- a confirmed lesbian character- be in a relationship with a man. Meanwhile they seem to be trying to cover it up by making the main character Frankie, previously only ever depicted as female, be non-binary.
