Saying 'it's not real' ends it there and then.

I think "because they love eachother" would probably be enough for most kids and if not then they're probably the type of child who asks questions alot anyway. What are you going to do send them out in the world blind folded until they're at an age where you'll be ok to answer a few pretty simple questions?

I think that answer would suffice for a little bit until the next day when they would start asking why.
I don't need kids TV to be forcing the issue on kids who are'nt even thinking about relationships yet.

If kids aren't even thinking about relationships yet then they probably wouldn't even notice a gay couple in a TV show, same as they probably don't think about straight couples in TV shows. I mean it's a Kids Tv show not a porn movie

They would probably ask why those two daddies are kissing or getting married and say 'where's mummy?'
If they were'nt thinking about it then they certainly would be after seeing that and their brains getting all confused.

lol I think you need to give kids more credit tbh or less maybe hhhmmm as in I don't think most of them really care that much at all about romantic relationships, my 11 year old still blocks his eyes when people kiss on TV or when me and my husband kiss

Well mine ask questions......Alot.For as many kids there are like yours there will be just as many like mine and many different to that.This is why i voted no.Maybe some 3 year olds would understand it but not all would.I think gay dudes on TV should be for older kids not 3 year olds and 4 year olds but that's jmo.

I get that some kids would ask more questions, it just wouldn't bother me to answer those questions same way as I'd answer any other question and I think it would be beneficial to our society and most especially to gay people for kids to grow up not having a problem with gay people or thinking it was a taboo subject

I guess this is only an issue if you don't have any gay friends... my (5 year old) daughter knows about homosexual relationships because one of my oldest and best friends is gay. She was dancing the night away with them at a wedding last month .

I guess that's why I find the censorship of homosexuality on TV not only unfair, but pointless. It's a thing. You can't censor the real world, so your best bet is just to do your best to explain it.

Your opinion is pretty much irrelevant as the world has advanced beyond this. Gays and lesbians are exposed to children. Children are gays and lesbians. There really isn't even a debate. This isn't thread is nonsense.
