The LGBTQ+ Superheroine Movement
The LGBTQ+ Superheroine Movement refers to increasing representation of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other diverse identities among female superheroes in comics, movies, and media. It aims to promote inclusivity, reflect real-world diversity, and empower marginalized communities by showcasing strong, relatable characters who identify outside traditional gender norms. This movement fosters visibility, challenges stereotypes, and encourages acceptance by portraying superheroes as authentic and multidimensional individuals with varied backgrounds and identities. Ultimately, it supports a broader cultural shift toward equality and representation in popular culture.
