The sad thing is that DHX and IDW both cleary want to put in LGBTQ characters as they have not only put in background ponies that are references to both real and fictitious LGBTQ people and characters but they have put in both "transmares"(I guess this is what you would called them in context) and "transstallions"(again I'm trying to keep it in context with the setting) in the background of both the show and comics. But Hasbro won't let them, yet they are strangely fine with putting in LGBTQ characters in comics aim at boys(transformers and G.I. Joe) so take that as you will, I still don't get why there fine with the comics aim at boys but not fine with comics aim at girls.
