Yes, my pony collection has its share of same-sex couples. Couples usually come about when we buy ponies from the same seller and they just seem to fit together. This is what happened with Tex and Sunburst, and also with Moondancer and Moonstone (who are now adoptive parents of a motley crew of baby ponies). Bridal Beauty and SHS Dainty are a couple as well, I think that came about because Dainty doesn't stand up properly so was always leaning on BB and we thought they looked cute together. Then when we got BB's veil and accessories we of course had to hold a wedding (my gf and I are 26 going on 6 :lol:. We pretend we're dressing up and posing our ponies to take arty photos of them, but really we're playing :lol:).
My gf wasn't really into creating pony families when she had ponies as a kid (they just all lived together in Dream Castle, and though there were babies there weren't a lot of romances) but she always regarded Applejack and Heartthrob as a couple (despite the fact she didn't actually own Heartthrob!). Reading the stories she wrote about them when she was about 5 or 6, they seem to have been ponies who flew in the face of gender conventions :lol:. They were both described as "strong and brave" and often appeared as heroes saving the other ponies from things. They also looked after Baby Heartthrob. Applejack also switched gender at random, sometimes in the middle of a story! They obviously meant a lot to each other as one story says that Applejack had had a terrible dream, "he dreamt Heartthrob had died. Then he woke up and found it was only a dream". Of course when we started collecting ponies, Heartthrob was one of the first we bought and she's now an item with my gf's childhood Applejack :lovey:.

Annoyingly I don't have any photos of Bridal Beauty and Dainty's wedding on my phone!
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.
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.Nope there are no relationships of any type, they are just cute plastic toys that sit on the shelves

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

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.

Oh, of course! If I'm gay, then the ponies have to be gay too. Duh.
I kinda imagine that all the Big Bro ponies are flaaaaming because they remind me of the YMCA music video :P
Especially Wigwam and Salty. Salty is innn theee naaaavyyyy~
(I don't get how people can look at their ponies and not automatically think up stories and characters for them - must be nice, my stories always get weird and end up with more drama than a soap opera. HORSE WAR HORSE WAR)

But it's a world I dont know not fully understand so I am unable to create it in play.
Basically I just dont get it, as I lack experience. BUT that does not mean I love anyone less for how they live their lives. I will forever respect all love and choices as long as the person is happy.
