These dolls are for the girls, the gays, and everyone else!
While many of us dreamed of playing with dolls as kids, and others of us were busy pretending our Barbies were girlfriends, kids nowadays have a lot more options for actually queer dolls they can play with and collect.
Just this year alone, several new LGBTQ+ dolls have been released, making the toy world an even better place for queer people of all ages.
Here are six LGBTQ+ dolls for kids from ages three to 103 to enjoy that you can buy right now!

When this American Girl doll was released in 2021, conservatives got their panties in a twist when they found out she had two lesbian aunts.
