Several of the characters in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are officially recognized as being involved in onscreen or post-series romantic relationships. Additionally, characters in the show may identify under LGBTQ+ sexualities, romanticisms, or genders.
Some characters that are not confirmed to be, but are established to be, in the spectrum of a certain sexuality can be anywhere in that spectrum. For instance, it was said (during a livestream by ND Stevenson) that Entrapta "has had a lot of boyfriends and girlfriends", suggesting a bisexual identity, but the label is not exclusive; she could be anything that encompasses being bisexual - pansexual, omnisexual, and so on. She also may be biromantic, bi-physical, or anything that encompasses attraction to more than one gender.
However, on this wiki a character confirmed to be a specific sexuality should not be head-canoned against their sexuality. For example, a character confirmed onscreen as lesbian should not be head-canoned as straight, as this constitutes lesbian erasure and would be a homophobic gesture.
