Did you know Sailor Moon was way more queer in the original Japanese version? This Pride Month, we're diving deep into LGBTQIA+ representation in cinema and series, starting with anime!

When Sailor Moon first arrived in the West in the 90s, many changes were made. Some characters were completely altered, most famously Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.



In the original Japanese version, these two iconic characters were clearly a couple. However, Western adaptations attempted to conceal their relationship, dubbing them as cousins in a move that became almost absurd given their on-screen romantic dynamic.

Sailor Moon was groundbreaking for its time, featuring queer characters, gender bending, and androgynous figures in an era where such representation was rare in cartoons. Even today, many fans consider it a cornerstone for LGBTQIA+ representation in anime.

Were you aware of these hidden queer elements in Sailor Moon? Let us know in the comments!
