are your ponies gay?

[Mewtwofan1]

A few of my ponies are in same sex relationships. I guess I started thinking about it: ponies are like, 5:1 female to male ratio. It would make sense that ponies would be homosexual, and it wouldn’t be frowned upon in pony society. Though most of my herd is single, or just not caring about relationships.

Nope there are no relationships of any type, they are just cute plastic toys that sit on the shelves

This, basically. When I was a child my ponies did have characters of course, but that didn't go much further than just mum and dad, as far as relationships go.

This for me too. I'm not fussed about my ponies having relationships with each other. I wasn't really as a kid either. I would sometimes make CJ and Snowflake boys if I wanted more boys for some reason as I only had 3 actual adult boys, but I never thought much about gender as a kid.

Same really.  Even now, I can't see them in relationships.  As a child, I saw them more as talking horses but lived their lives free of romance.

Starshine was always a lesbian in my childhood herd....

[SkyCakes]

Mine arent really gay. everyone is straight and I feel like the boys/big brothers have control over all the female ponies o.O.... I didnt have very many relationships in the herd really either.

[Goanna]

Yes basically all of mine are gay hehe 
As far as couples I have...
G4 Rarity and Applejack
G4 Trixie and Starlight Glimmer
G4 Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie
G3 Sunny Daze and Bashful Bonnets
G1 Snuzzle and Cotton Candy

[nebulavery]

Oh, of course! If I'm gay, then the ponies have to be gay too. Duh.

Among the G1s, Bowtie is sweet on Glory, but will probably end up with Cotton Candy. No one is sure whether Surprise and Confetti are dating or just really good friends.

As for G3s, Starcatcher is in a secret relationship with Glitterbelle, and Sparkleworks and Cinnamon Breeze are dating. Golden Delicious and Citrus Sweetheart are also a thing. Also, all of the pegasi are nonbinary.

In the world of G4s, Feathermay is an out lesbian, and Trixie is coming to terms with her sexuality (show? What show?).

In my world yeah because it’s what’s most natural for myself. Just like some people see certain ponies as boys I see them mostly as gay or at the very least bi or pan.

Namely I have couples, for example the TAF babies have their mom and another mom that’s the same race. Sugar Sweet/Sweet Tooth for example make baby ST a uni. Gusty and Up Up and Away make baby UUaA a uni too. Twinkler/Milky Way the same but a peg.


I have a couple of specific characters as non binary in my head as well.

Almost all my ponies are gay. I mean come on there are hardly any boys anyway.

You say that like I’m not out here shipping the boys together. >:3c

Seriously though Glory and Moondancer are gay married if you count the porcelain figs as meaning anything. So I honestly think it’s very reasonable to assume that many other lgbt ponies exist.

Lol, I only like the boys since they are Clydes (my RL mare is a Clyde), but there are no female ones. To be fair with a real horse herd it would be many females and one male with the group but still. Lol, I don’t think I have any boys anymore.

As a kid I had two boy ponies, one canon and the other was my interpretation. I had no "daddy" ponies and did not know the big brother ponies existed and I never paid much attention.
I did not know that "gay" or "lesbian" or "bi" could ever be used on a cutesy animal, so I never paid attention to that.

But I had two pony couples that I would put together because they looked good together and they were "super best friends" and one of them took care of a baby pony together. The other ponies were just whatever I always went with the "baby ponies come from mirrors".

As an adult I do have one canon stallion in my herd, G2 Prince Firefly, and I put him with Ivy, so I guess I have one token hetero couple for ~diversity LOL
But I don't see them as having sexual orientation. They are cute characters and they look cute together. That's it.
To quote Bob's Burgers:
"They make a cute couple, huh?"
-"They certainly are standing next to each other"

Now ask me about Ratity/AJ because I ship those and I also have a heartbreaking headcanon about who Rarity's real parents are

[glitterball]

I played with these as a young kid and wasn't interested in romances & relationships of any sort! I didn't even have mummy + daddy families, either! 

I was a tomboy and so were my ponies!  they often got muddy hooves, but I paid particular care not to scratch them or mess up their hair.

My ponies were girls but only because of the backstories. They spent their time playing horsey-things, like jumping over twig jumps and then later having their manes and tails styled. 

As an adult collector, I do not assign any personality to them, really. I just like looking at them! 

[nessa16]

I do not know.  It never occurred to me to ask them...

I've never thought of them being in relationships (besides 2) so I guess I've never really defaulted to thinking of them as straight. Except for the Mommy and Daddy ponies of course, but I don't own any of them yet.
My collection's couple are G3 Royal Rose and Desert Rose. I initially placed them next to each other on my shelf because I think their colours look lovely together, but they have the same surname? So I guess as of now I'm going to consider them married.

Edit: I totally forgot that years ago I found Steamer and Cherries Jubilee together in a charity shop, and Cherries Jubilee was wearing Steamer's bandana. That's something a girlfriend would do, like taking your boyfriend's jacket or sweatshirt. It seemed like they were probably close!
