The show would be one of the first animated series on British television to present openly gay characters, specifically Robbie and Larry. However this was eventually contradicted when Lokar returned in the Season 11 episode "Stephen" in where he is shown to be alive and well.Ĭrapston Villas aired on Channel 4, a British broadcasting channel, from 1995 to 1997. His sexuality was confirmed in audio commentaries for the Space Ghost Coast to Coast Volume 2 DVD and it was revealed that Lokar died at some point during the series. Supplementary material for the series had Lokar referred to himself as a Confirmed bachelor while an article on the official Cartoon Network website featured a reference to a slang word for gay sex. On December 25, 1994, Lokar, a locust alien and member of the Council of Doom, was introduced in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast Christmas special A Space Ghost Christmas. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, included a gay character. However, like other shows at the time, The Simpsons approached the subject gingerly, not drawing much attention to the sexuality of Smithers, as he remained in the closet, officially, until 2016. The first episode of The Simpsons, on December 17, 1989, featured a gay character, Waylon Smithers, named after gay puppeteer Wayland Flowers. However, most of these characters were coded as queer rather than being openly queer. In the 1980s and 1990s, LGBTQ characters appeared in The Simpsons, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Crapston Villas, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, and Mission Hill.
