List of animated series with LGBT characters: 1990–1994

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From 1990 to 1994, more LGBTQ characters appeared in anime than in Western animation. Most prominently, LGBTQ characters appeared in lesbian, bisexual, and genderqueer characters in Dear Brother, Sailor Moon, and Ai no Kusabi. In contrast, Gargoyles featured an array of gay, bisexual, and asexual characters. This trend would continue in the later 1990s, with more LGBTQ characters introduced in Western animation.

This list only includes recurring characters, otherwise known as supporting characters, which appear frequently from time to time during the series' run, often playing major roles in more than one episode, and those in the main cast are listed below. LGBTQ characters which are guest stars or one-off characters are listed on the pages focusing exclusively on gay (in animation and anime), lesbian (in animation and anime), bisexual (in animation and anime), trans, pansexual, asexual, non-binary, and intersex characters.

For a further understanding of how these LGBTQ characters fit into the overall history of animation, see the History of LGBTQ characters in animated series: 1990s page.

The entries on this page are organized alphanumerically by duration dates and then alphabetically by the first letter of a specific series.

He is a flamboyant fox who crossdresses.[1] In the Japanese version of Phoney Baloney Cat, he declares his attraction towards underaged boys.[2] In contrast with most 1990s English language dubs at the time, The Big Cheese's gender and sexuality were kept. The only change was his species as he was changed to a rat. The more harmful aspects of the character were also removed. His voice in the English dub is an imitation of Paul Lynde who was gay. Japan

She also jealously tries to destroy their relationship by making Nanako love her instead.[5] It is then revealed that she and Rei are full sisters (proving their relationship to be incestual), daughters of the Ichinomiya leader and a maid of the family mansion, as shown in episodes 12 and 33. In the anime, her love for Takehiko is given a backstory: she met and fell in love with him when she was twelve and he spent several days with her in the Ichinomiya mansion, but he unknowingly broke her heart by not showing up to her birthday party, as indicated in episodes 36 and 37. Japan
