"Sapphic representation on-screen has always been something of an endangered species, but not in the world of Lesbian Space Princess. On the planet of Clitopolis ("Notoriously hard to find!"), situated in the pink-starry skies of the "gay-laxy," resides a kingdom ruled by lesbians. It's a little like Wonder Woman's island of Themyscira, except the princess of this realm hardly lives up to the reputation set forth by her fabulous moms."
"Saira (Shabana Azeez) might be a lesbian who's super good with her hands - thanks more to her affinity for close-up magic than her experience in the bedroom - but she leaves a lot to be desired elsewhere. Voted the most boring royal in gay space, Saira is also hindered by crippling self-doubt. She's borderline agoraphobic, perpetually relegated to the singles' table at the annual Lesbian Ball, and has routinely failed to fulfill her birthright and summon a magical labrys"
Lesbian Space Princess takes place on Clitopolis, a pink-starry realm in the gay-laxy, ruled by lesbians. The princess Saira is skilled at close-up magic yet hampered by crippling self-doubt, borderline agoraphobia, and repeated failure to summon her magical labrys. After Saira is dumped by her cool girlfriend Kiki, Kiki is abducted by the Straight White Maliens, a trio of toxic cis men, forcing Saira into action. The narrative becomes a sweet, bracingly funny, and unapologetically queer remix of a space-adventure that foregrounds adult themes and mental-health struggles alongside explicit animated content.
