ʻO nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo Mattel, ka mea hana o Barbie, e hoʻonui nei i kāna pāʻani kino-maikaʻi i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hana i ka pēpē ikona i mea nui. Akā i kēia manawa, ke hāpai nei ʻo Barbie i kahi kūlana kaiaulu koʻikoʻi: ke kākoʻo nei i nā kuleana LGBTQ +.

I kēlā pule aku nei, ua hōʻike aku ka moʻokāki Instagram mana i kahi kiʻi o Barbie e noho nei me kahi hoaaloha pēpē e kū ana i kahi blogger ʻo ʻAimee Song. Ke komo nei nā mea ʻelua i nā pālule e heluhelu ana i ka "lanakila ʻana o ke aloha" i nā leka uila anuenue.

Wahi a ka lepe kiʻi, ua hoʻoulu ʻia nā pālule e Song, nāna i hoʻokuʻu i nā pālule like i loko o Pride Month, e hāʻawi ana i ka hapalua o nā loaʻa i The Trevor Project, kahi nonprofit e manaʻo ana e pale i ka pepehi kanaka ma waena o nā ʻōpio LGBTQ +.

Ua hopu ka manaʻo o Song i kā Mattel noonoo, ka mea i hoʻoholo e hana i kahi pēpē e like me ia no ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo nō kekahi e makemake ʻo Barbie e kau pū me IRL.

ʻOiai ke komo ʻana o Barbies i nā pālule "aloha lanakila" me he mea lā he wahi liʻiliʻi ia i loko o ka papahana nui o nā mea, manaʻo kekahi mau mea he mea kupaianaha loa ia ke ʻike aku i kahi inoa nui me ke kākoʻo o ka mōʻaukala LGBTQ + loihi i ke ʻano wiwo ʻole.

"ʻO ke kaikamahine a kuʻu ipo wahine a me kēia stepmom haʻaheo i OBSESSED lāua me Barbie-mahalo no ka hōʻike ʻana iā mākou pehea e lanakila ai me ke aloha a me ka ʻae ʻia," haʻi ʻia e kahi mea e pili ana i ka kiʻi.

"Ua ulu aʻe wau e pāʻani ana me nā pēpē Barbie a ma ke ʻano he lālā o ke kaiāulu LGBT + ua piha koʻu puʻuwai me kēia hana kupaianaha i ke kaulike ma ka pāpāho," wahi a kekahi. "ʻO ka hana hou aʻe no Barbie e hoʻonui i nā ʻili o kona ʻili a me nā ʻano o ka lauoho. E nānā pono i kēlā me kēia kaikamahine a me ke keiki kāne a hiki ke kiʻi i kahi pēpē Barbie e hōʻike ana iā lākou!"

I kāna kamaʻilio ʻana, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Mattel i kāna hōʻiliʻili ʻo Sheroes i hoʻopili ʻia me nā pēpē i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ma hope o ka poʻe maoli he "hero wahine ... haki i nā palena a hoʻonui i nā mea hiki i nā wahine ma nā wahi āpau." ʻO kekahi o nā pēpē i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū ʻo Ibtihaj Muhammad, ke ʻano hoʻohālike ʻo Ashley Graham a me ka ballerina ʻoihana ʻo Misty Copeland. No laila ke hele nei me ka ʻole o ka ʻōlelo ʻana e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻoulu i nā kaikamahine ʻōpio e lilo i kā lākou kūʻiʻo maoli a moeʻuhane nui.

ʻOiai ʻo ka hapanui o kēia mau pēpē "wahine maoli" kekahi o kekahi ʻano no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai aku, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo wale nō ola lana ka manaʻo ʻoi aku ka nui ʻo "ʻoe" ʻo Barbies i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
