List of animated series with LGBTQ characters: 2010–2014

Depiction of animated series with LGBTQ characters: 2010–2014 changed with the premiere of various shows with LGBTQ+ characters. In 2010, Adventure Time began airing on Cartoon Network, where Rebecca Sugar, a storyboarder, laid the groundwork for a "queer cartoon couple" in the aforementioned show.[1] A few years later, Sugar created Steven Universe, with the show described as groundbreaking for depicting same-sex relationships and praised for its representation of LGBTQ characters.[2] Additionally, Bojack Horseman, with lesbian, gay, and asexual characters premiered in 2014, with transgender characters having prominence in Wandering Son. Furthermore, there were LGBTQ characters in animated shows such as Clarence, Mike Tyson Mysteries, The Legend of Korra, Bravest Warriors, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers. These stories set the stage for those to come in the later part of the decade, 2015–2019.

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 lesbian characters (in animation and anime), bisexual characters (in animation and anime), trans characters, pansexual characters, asexual characters, non-binary characters, and intersex characters.

For a further understanding of how these LGBTQ characters fit into the overall history of animation, please read the History of LGBTQ characters in animated series: 2010s page.
