Top 10 Animated LGBT+ Reveals

5. TODD CHAVEZ, BOJACK HORSEMAN

Fans of this underrated Netflix comedy discovered yet another layer to BoJack's freeloading house "guest" Todd in 2017 when he came out as asexual during the show's fourth season.

9. XANDIR P. WHIFFLEBBOTTOM, DRAWN TOGETHER

This raunchy, short-lived Comedy Central nonsense show wasn't exactly known for its high-brow comedy and tasteful commentary — yet there was something oddly sweet about watching Xandir shed his original mantra ("I'm on a never-ending quest to save my girlfriend!") in favor of being true to himself.

10. PATTY BOUVIER, THE SIMPSONS

Marge may not have been thrilled about her sister coming out in 2005, but Patty's confirmation of her sexuality — followed by the heartbreak of her first same-sex breakup — made for an emotional episode of television.

7. SHIRO, VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENDER

Fans were delighted to learn in 2018 that Black Lion pilot Shiro is gay — though that delight quickly turned to despair when his boyfriend (and former "flight partner") Adam was killed off in that same season.

"We were aware of the 'bury your gays' trope, but hoped ... that our struggle to confirm Shiro's orientation would take center stage," executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos wrote in an open letter to fans.

3. WAYLON SMITHERS, THE SIMPSONS

Viewers have always known about Smithers' unrequited love for his miserly employer, but after 27 long years, it was damn good to finally hear him admit it in 2016.

4. RUBY AND SAPPHIRE, STEVEN UNIVERSE

While these two characters have always shared a (literal) bond, the depth of their connection wasn't immediately clear. As the show progressed, we got to experience their highs and lows as a pair — eventually leading to their wedding celebration in 2018.

8. HERBERT GARRISON, SOUTH PARK

With South Park's 22nd season fast approaching, it's hard to believe there was ever a time when the boys' loose-cannon teacher wasn't an out-and-proud member of the LGBT+ community. But a look back at the show's earlier days reminds us that Herbert — yes, that's his real first name — was once adamant about his heterosexuality. You know, hence his part-time catchphrase: "I'm not gay!"

2. KORRA AND ASAMI, THE LEGEND OF KORRA

Fans of this Avatar: The Last Airbender spinoff were thrilled when, in the 2014 series finale's final moments, the title character was confirmed to be romantically involved with her friend Asami. (Say, did we ever find out how that vacation went?)

6. SHERIFF BLUBS AND DEPUTY DURLAND, GRAVITY FALLS

As is the case with a lot of shows aimed predominately at children, this Disney XD series waited until its finale to confirm that two of its characters, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland, were more than just partners on the force.

"We're mad with power!" Durland exclaimed in the 2016 series finale, before adding "...and love!" in unison with Blubs as they held each other's faces.

1. BUBBLEGUM AND MARCELINE, ADVENTURE TIME

Longtime fans of this beloved Cartoon Network creation let out a gleeful shriek earlier this week when Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen kissed in the heat of battle, confirming what many have believed since Season 2: These two are the real deal.
