In the 1990s, queer coded characters appeared in various Cartoon Network series, such as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Mission Hill, episodes of Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken, See also: History of LGBT characters in animation: 1990s In December 2020, Amy Friedman, head of programming for Cartoon Network and HBO Max Kids & Family, stated that they are looking "at ourselves across the inclusion and equity spectrum," including the LGBTQ+ community, to evaluate projects in production, development, and post-greenlighting. Other series, like OK K.O.!: Let's Be Heroes and Craig of the Creek would have LGBTQ characters as well.
The role of Cartoon Network shows in LGBTQ representation would continue in the 2020s, with the airing of Steven Universe Future on the network and Adventure Time: Distant Lands streaming on HBO Max, along with characters in DC Super Hero Girls. At the time the iconic wedding episode of Steven Universe was first drafted, gay marriage was not yet legal in most of the United States. This representation was difficult to achieve, as Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, was told by executives that the inclusion of a central queer romance could have ended her show. The network hosted shows which were said to be "strong champions for LGBT representation," such as Adventure Time and Steven Universe. These characters include Garnet, Pearl, and Princess Bubblegum. In the 2010s, Cartoon Network featured multiple cartoons whose main characters expressed their identity and were featured in LGBT-focused storylines.
