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.
