The film features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but its primary roles are traditionally cast without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on universal coming-of-age themes and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
Secondary
Lady Bird features a significant LGBTQ+ character in Danny O'Neill, whose closeted identity is treated with sensitivity and empathy.
