Favourite 2SLGBTQIA+ Media | 2026 | She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

I’ve been meaning to make posts like these, where I get to showcase and gush about my favourite media with 2SLGBTQIA+ characters. Luckily, a lot of my most beloved media has these exact characters. Unluckily, I don’t have a ton of time for anything anymore. But I’ll put in some quick notes here, since no one reads these posts anyway, for my own enjoyment. Minor spoilers ahead! (Just pointing out the obvious, though)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, is the 2018 reboot of the classic She-Ra: Princess of Power. The premise is the same: the evil Lord Hordak and his evil Horde are trying to take over the world, but Adora finds a magic sword and transforms into She-Ra, the Princess of Power. With her new power and friends, she is able to fight against Hordak. With the 2018 reboot, the show ramps up the representation even higher, and going into it, I had no idea and it was delightful, especially for a children’s show. Yes, the world is in turmoil when with Horde trying to destroy the world, but they exist in an imaginative fantasy world complete with acceptance of many identities. The main cast of characters can come together and fight evil. The other aspects of themselves are accepted and are not treated as a hinderance at all.  

The Characters and the Representation 

Adora and her childhood friend, Catra. A friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story and it gets messy!

There’s more queer and gender non-conforming characters in the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Wiki! There's more spoilers at that page though, so if you want to watch the series, do it, then come over to check where everyone falls in on the 2SLGBTQIA+ rainbow.

Side note...

Shadow Weaver cannonically doesn't have a romantic storyline, and there's no official word on what her orientation is. I'm drawn to her but...she's cruel and power hungry. Why does she have to be so evil?! It's not fair—how can you look so good casually reading a book and be so mean?!
