The artist, who sells her dolls as part of her business All The Little Dolls, has created iconic Barbies pushing for a more realistic portrayal.

 

Some of her past creations including a pregnant and a breastfeeding Barbie. Talking to Daily Mail, Strachan-Otter explained that she has now created the lesbian mothers and their three children to help normalise the portrayal of same-sex couples and families. She said: “I like to use my dolls to depict scenes containing positive affirmations to those who can relate to them.” The Brisbane artist added that she was disappointed that same-sex marriage came down to a debate.

 

“Personally, I’m saddened that there even needs to be a debate on same-sex marriage.

“Nobody worries about who you love when you’re in a committed straight relationship so why should same-sex couples need to be treated any differently?”
