As societal norms change and progress, '''{{W|LGBT}}''' representation in ''[[My Little Pony]]'' progressed greatly. In the late [[2010s]], numerous characters were confirmed to be LGBT and a handful of new ones were introduced. In an out-of-universe perspective, ''My Little Pony'' was the target of numerous anti-LGBT controversies and strikes, due to its depiction of rainbows and other iconography attributed with LGBT culture in the earlier seasons, to outrage regarding same-sex couples in the later seasons.

In {{EQG|Equestria}} at least, LGBT appears to have no real stigma attached to it, with no characters really reacting to Holiday and Lofty's relationship as if it were anything but the loving and sincere relationship it was. Likewise, Lyra and Bon Bon were able to get married, meaning same-sex marriage is legal in Equestria.
===Borderline cases===
* [[Sappho]], an [[OC|original-character]] created by [[Jenn Blake]], appeared in a few amount of official works, all drawn by Blake herself. Blake's background for the character portrays here as a lesbian who is either in a relationship with Rarity, or has feelings for her. Additionally, the name Sappho is derived from the famous LGBT/Lesbian icon, {{W|Sappho of Lesbos}}.
* [[Little Cheese]] was described as being a boy, despite having a female animation model, though some other works, such as the Mobile game, describes Cheese as being a girl. [[Big Jim]] has said that their gender is whatever the viewer decides.
==In crossovers==
[[Arcee]], and possibly [[Howlback]], two transgender [[Cybertronian]]s, have appeared in ''[[Transformers (franchise)|Transformers]]''-based crossover events.
