''Steven Universe'' is "one of the most unabashedly queer shows on TV", according to ''The Guardian'', and the series has received much critical attention and praise for its hitherto unprecedented degree of LGBT representation. The creator, Rebecca Sugar, explained this as influenced by her own experience as a bisexual woman, and by her desire to allow queer kids to see love stories on TV in which they can recognize themselves.

* The Season 5 Finale "Change Your Mind" ''really'' plays up the idea of Yellow and Blue being [[HasTwoMommies Pink's parents]], with Connie outright comparing their relationship with Pink to her relationship with her parents, and the fight between Yellow and Blue being heavily framed as a fight between parents. Also, part of what ultimately brings Yellow around to helping Steven and the others is [[HeelRealization her realizing]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone just how much she's hurt Blue]], a revelation that leaves Yellow [[InelegantBlubbering broken and sobbing]]. Later, White comments that Yellow is "so weak when it comes to Blue".

* A somewhat more light-hearted example is their [[http://rebeccasugar.tumblr.com/post/128597732048/i-dont-care-if-you-dont-want-me-im-yours-right jeans sketch]] by Rebecca Sugar. Lapis is trying to take down Jasper while [[BareYourMidriff clutching at her shirt and revealing her stomach]], and the caption is a quote from Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put a Spell on You": ''I don’t care if you don’t want me, I’m YOURS right now.'' Below that, Sugar has gleefully added, "Jeans*Malachite!"

* Even before the implied mutual crush in "Too Far," there was a bit of FoeYay in their every interaction. During early episodes, a running gag involved Amethyst tying up Peridot with her whip, and Peridot using the whip to electrify the former. When Peridot calls the heroes "clods" in "Friend Ship", Amethyst picks up the microphone and tells her off, telling her she doesn't like being called a clod, then calling her a clod herself.

* The short "[[WebAnimation/TheCrystalGemsSayBeAntiRacist Don't Deny It - Defy It]]" features two young boys professing their desire to get married in the future. While this is just part of the script of the [[ShowWitinAShow in-universe PSA]], their flustered reaction after filming when denying anything happening for real by pointing this out, coupled by Garnet's knowing look as she lowers her visor, implies a genuine attraction between the two young actors.

Later, White comments that Yellow is "so weak when it comes to Blue". Of course, this might also come across as IncestSubtext, since it's implied that Yellow and Blue are Pink's ''sisters'' instead of their parents, as White is implied to be Yellow, Blue, and Pink's mother, which would also make her Steven's grandmother.
