The number of animated series with LGBTQ characters increased from the previous decade. From 2000 to 2004, such characters appeared prominently in Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and The Venture Bros. all of which were Western animations. However, they appeared more frequently in anime series such as Gravitation, Kino's Journey, Kannazuki no Miko, and My-HiME. The shows airing during this period set the stage for those to come in 2005 to 2009, the latter part of the decade.

This list only includes recurring characters, otherwise known as supporting characters, which appear frequently from time to time during the series' run, often playing major roles in more than one episode, and those in the main cast are listed below. LGBTQ characters which are guest stars or one-off characters are listed on the pages focusing exclusively on gay (in animation and anime), lesbian (in animation and anime), bisexual (in animation and anime), trans, pansexual, asexual, non-binary, and intersex characters.

The entries on this page are organized alphanumerically by duration dates and then alphabetically by the first letter of a specific series.

July 9, 2006 Hunter Gathers Genderqueer, genderfluid, or trans woman Brock Samson's most frequent commanding officer at the OSI. In the first episode the then-colonel Gathers is featured in, Brock is assigned the task of killing him for going AWOL; when he tracks Hunter down, Brock finds "he" has undergone sex reassignment surgery and now considers her a woman, who is therefore ineligible to be assassinated under the OSI's "no women, no children" policy.[140] Gathers later detransitions before officially returning to the OSI and being promoted to general. Although the fact that Hunter had wanted the sex change for over a decade is made abundantly clear, it is also revealed that the sex change was leveraged for the purpose of going undercover, adding ambiguity to Hunter's precise relationship to their gender. After detransitioning, masculine terms are once again used to refer to Gathers.
July 6, 2008 Virginia "Ginnie" Dunne Lesbian or bisexual Dr. Quymn's very masculine bodyguard, a reported "man-hater."[141] In the episode "Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman," she is shown to be a lesbian[142][better source needed] and refers to herself as such through innuendo, including apparent attempts to "convert" the heterosexual Dr. Quymn. Although she claims to be attracted only to women, she is shown to have bisexual tendencies, teasing and nearly having sex with Brock Samson; prior to this, she suggests Brock was the first "real man" she had ever met and implies he may be the first man she had ever been attracted to.
