'Arthur' character comes out, FINALLY giving LGBT cartoon rat population representation on kid's TV |
2019-05-15 |
[RT] A publicly-funded educational show for children 4-8 about an anthropomorphic aardvark took a turn for the even weirder, when it decided to teach kids the importance of accepting adult male-male inter-species love relationships. Come on, if there was one thing kids’ TV programming was desperately crying out for, it was a gay cartoon rat getting married, teaching us all a timely lesson about “diversity.” So, that’s exactly what the season premiere of the Public Broadcasting Service's (PBS) “Arthur” cartoon delivered. The episode featured a surprise wedding between the titular aardvark’s humanoid rat teacher and his male partner who appears to also be an aardvark...as CNN put it, “leaving us all in happy tears.” |

#7 It's about time, until now the gay cartoon rat and aardvark population has had nobody on tv like them as a role model. Somebody misses the Obama years. |

#4 Pikers. The Loud House has had a mixed race gay dads with adopted child for years. Lest we forget, what My Two Dads was really about. |
