LGBT in TMNT
 

Who are all the canon LGBT characters in TMNT?

The only one I know of is Lindsey's girlfriend from the IDW comics who worked for Null. Are there any others?

Shredder and Krang from the FW series, obviously. :tsmile:

Vernon, from the OT.

I know you're probably messing but I doubt he is gay. He seemed to have a thing for April. I suppose he could be bi, but just gay? Doubtful. In that Donatello's Degree episode he was eagerly waiting for April to give him mout to mouth lol

Plus he also seemed to have a thing for that woman in the Turtles in the Orient Express train.

Anyway, I don't think there's many confirmed LGBT characters in the TMNT universe.

LGBT stands for: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*gender.

Sally has been confirmed a lesbian, but only by the creators.

Given how Ma'riell described Ch'rell, I'm pretty sure he was several levels above being another ordinary loyal soldier for Krang.

I know. Like I said, I suppose he could be bi at best. He did seem to find females attractive.

I guess the Cyber Shredder is technically trans?:lol:

As for any serious answers, I can't really think of any aside from Lindsey and her ex...

That one lady from the Battle Nexus in Mirage Vol. 4.

Considering her relationship with Leonardo, I think it'd be safe to say that Mirage's Radical was likely Pansexual.

Michelangelo crossdresses a lot.

Yeah, "Wedding Bells & Bytes" got very awkward.

4kids Don, for sure. Probably 4kids Leo.

Nick Mikey, 100%.

I think it's pretty safe to say that every version of Michelangelo is at least a least a 3 on the Kinsey.

I remember a gay user here saying that the only character he could see being gay in the TMNT world was 2k3 baxter.

When has 2k3 Don ever shown interest in males? All i remember was him being friendly with April, which led people to believe he had a crush on her.

2k3 Leo? Why?

If we're going down the stereotypical route then 87 Mike doesn't come across as liking males at all, imo. He's that chill popular dude type who'd be popular at school with girls.

But what about...

This thread is so tumblresque.

Spoken like someone who clearly never hangs out on tumblr.

80s Toon Mike was ripped pretty much straight from the character of Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Dude had absolutely no romantic storylines.

And being a 3 on the Kinsey doesn't mean one has to show attraction to dudes, or can't show attraction to women.
In my opinion any good version of Mike is at very least bi.
I'd consider him pan, given his relationship in the later Mirage books.

Raph, on the other hand. That's a one-turtle straight pride parade if ever there was one.

Well someone had to say that :lol:

And yeah I know not all of tumblr is like that. But it seems to be a popular place for SJWs to congregate.

You say SJWs but what I think you mean are women.

I think the very first Michaelangelo crossdressing scene ever is in Season 2 of the original cartoon where he puts on the hawaiian hula dancer outfit to flirt with the plant mutant that Baxter and Shredder let loose on the city.

I guess there's more women than men who fit into the "SJW" label, but no I don't think most women are like that at all.

tumblr, huh? Let's see what tumblr gives us...

I wish I could remember which turtle dresses in drag for the Mirage Halloween one shot...

4kids Don was super gay for Adam in season 5. And he was always carrying his little man-purse.

4kids Leo just sets off my gaydar, sometimes. Especially with Usagi at Christmas.

He and Kala were a thing.

What about Leo and Karai. Doesn't that set off your "straight-dar" :P?

I didn't perceive that as romantic. He didn't seem to give a rats ass when she ended up with Chaplin.

Either way, could be bi.

Well i suppose in the 87 toon his behaviour around Lotus was way less subtle.

Agreed.

I also think Karai and Shini are gay. I'll probably think of a few more.

I called Karai and Shinigami being lesbians from her first episode.

So much bi-erasure, so little time.

I called Karai back in season 1. Remember her outfit in "Karai's Vendetta"? I'm surprised her jean jacket didn't have "BUTCH" stenciled on the back.

But yeah, Shini is totally in love with her.

I dunno... If people want to point at Leo and Usagi, gotta be said that Raph's certainly got his own far longer and closer bromance with Casey, but maybe the interspecies thing gets in the way. :trazz:

I could see that with Mirage, for certain.

Here we go: the first confirmed LGBT TMNT character: E'ro'chk/Soowiiksa.

As seen in the second picture, she has wifes.

Did you guys notice I made the thread title rhyme? I did that on purpose, I bet you guys all thought that was clever, right? :thumbsup:

Leo was dressed as a old lady in the Don't Judge A Book short.

Have a cookie.

Every single character is gay, have you guys not checked fan-art on tumblr?
