Steven Universe Season 6 Contribution for LBGTQ Community
When Steven Universe started streaming on Cartoon Network on 4, 2013, there came a time when a group of people were unhappy about the portrayal of LBGTQ+ characters
on TV and were calling for a better and casual representation. The groundwork for the series had been set the previous year, with a lot of the episodes done, including
the final seasons mapped out already.
Rebecca Sugar was highly influenced by the game called, ” The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the One Piece anime”, before the creation of the series, Steven Universe.
The Series did describe some tabooed themes like bisexuality, same-sex attraction, trauma, grief, consent
and many other complicated themes in its run of over five seasons and a movie, which tailored to appeal to queer youth.
Dating back to 2018, Steven Universe made headlines with a gay wedding between two characters: Ruby and Sapphire, challenging the Cartoon Network’s history of “not overtly depicting same-sex marriage” as Rebecca Sugar struggled to get any LGBTQ+ representation on the telecast of the show, with the network ultimately accepting her reasoning.
The 23rd and 24th episode of the fifth season of Steven Universe, “Reunited”, which aired on July 6, which she and the crew had worked on for years, and was also praised as an example of the network’s frank portrayal of “sexuality and gender identity in children’s programming,” and positively received by the LGBTQ+ community and a healthy response from the fandom.
This episode made Steven Universe the first kid’s show on U.S. television to feature a lesbian wedding and
it broke down the assumption that same-sex romance is “inherently more adult,” in Rebecca’s words.
The creator of Gravity Falls, Alex Hirsch, truly believed that because of this episode of Steven Universe, it meant that Sugar was moving everyone in kid’s programming forward in terms of LGBTQ+ representation while Stevenson said that the episode was “bold and courageous,” serving as a moment which “knocked down so many walls” for other storytellers.
Despite this, Sugar criticized the casual absence of LGBTQ+ representation, but praised the effort by various shows to increase “LGBTQIA content…in G-rated entertainment”.
