|The series is (in)famous for its promotion of homosexuality with Kunzite/Zoicite and Uranus/Neptune and transgenderism with the Sailor Starlights. On the other hand, it is also pro-family, as Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) has very loving and caring parents whom she loves very much. Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) is also very close to her grandfather. Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) admires her doctor mother and wishes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and is also very hurt by her parents being divorced. Also, when Usagi and Mamoru Chiba’s (Tuxedo Mask) future daughter Chibi-Usa is introduced, she is shown to be very close to her parents and present-day Usagi and Mamoru take care of her like a little sister.

|The series is (in)famous for its promotion of homosexuality with Kunzite/Zoicite and Uranus/Neptune and transgenderism with the Sailor Starlights. (it should be noted in the original manga, Kunzite and Zoicite were not romantically involved at all, having a more brotherly relationship, and the Sailor Starlights were simply female who disguised themselves at men as part of a plan, the latter of which irritated creator Naoko Takeuchi slightly). On the other hand, it is also pro-family, as Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) has very loving and caring parents whom she loves very much, though they do understandably get on her case about her grades. Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) is also very close to her grandfather, often taking care of him due to his advanced age. Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) admires her doctor mother and wishes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and is also very hurt by her parents being divorced and the fact she only hears from her artist father once a year. Also, when Usagi and Mamoru Chiba’s (Tuxedo Mask) future daughter Chibi-Usa is introduced, she is shown to be very close to her parents and present-day Usagi and Mamoru take care of her like a little sister.
    
The series also contains themes of unconditional love and friendship. Usagi and Rei tend to bicker and get into cranky arguments, but they still really care about each other. In the second season (Sailor Moon R) both sets of villains (The Makai Tree Aliens and the Black Moon Clan) have very distorted understandings of what love is. The Sailor Senshi teach them what real love is. With the Makai Tree Aliens, it’s that love is given, not taken. With the Black Moon Clan they show the Four Specter Sisters that love is unconditional after each of them feels the rejection of their superiors and loses hope. Eventually, all four sisters become good after Sailor Moon uses her crystal to purify them of their dark energy. In this way, the season also carries a theme of mercy and redemption.

The series also goes against the messages of modern feminism in that it promotes traditional femininity and traditional female interests. Even the most Tomboyish Senshi, Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) is shown to have feminine interests such as cooking and figure skating. Usagi also desires to get married and have a family with her boyfriend Mamoru which they do in the future as evidenced by their daughter, Chibi-Usa. Although Mamoru is 7 years older than Usagi, he is a gentleman and doesn’t take advantage of her youth and inexperience. As Tuxedo Mask, he is very protective of Sailor Moon, and she is very appreciative of his protection (in contrast to a feminist who would refuse male help).

Even the most Tomboyish Senshi, Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) is shown to have feminine interests such as cooking, gardening and figure skating, admitting to Usagi she took up her hobbies to get by since her parents died when she was young and so she wouldn't be as intimidating, due to being the tallest girl in her class as well as rumors she got kicked out of her old school for fighting (these rumors weren't true, she simply moved). Usagi also desires to get married and have a family with her boyfriend Mamoru which they do in the future as evidenced by their daughter, Chibi-Usa.
