|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, the original plan being that the four Shitennou to be romantically involved with the Inner Senshi, and the Sailor Starlights were simply female who disguised themselves at men as part of a plan to save their princess, 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, friendship, mercy, and redemption. Usagi and Rei tend to bicker and get into cranky arguments, but they still really care about each other. The recurring Dark Kingdom Villain Nephrite disguises himself as a human named "Masato Sanjouin" and one of Usagi's friends, Naru, falls in love with him. Naru still loves him even after learning who he really is and eventually, he falls in love with her. Nephrite ultimately sacrifices his life by intercepting an attack that was meant for Naru. 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.
