Queer Culture Within Sailor Moon

Though the anime was created over a decade ago, it still has a large influence on today’s queer culture. . Within the English adaptation of Sailor Moon, the idea of homosexuality and gender identity is censored. Within the first few seasons, the Japanese original adaptation allowed for Haruka (Sailor Uranus) and Michiru (Sailor Neptune) to be in a same-sex relationship while the English dub of the anime chose to represent them as cousins. In the final season of the series, new scouts are introduced as a band and introduces the idea of transgenderism.The new scouts are referred to as the Stars and in their human, non-superhero form, they represent themselves as men but once they transform into their battle outfits they are women.
