I don't think you can quite underestimate what kind of impact having positive exposure to LGBT relationships at a young age would have on young LGBT people's lives. |

It's the whole idea that gay relationships are somehow incapable of being presented as pure or as similar to straight relationships. It's just a thought process to prevent it being normalised tbh even though it makes no sense.

Yeah sometimes with stuf like this I can understand the opposing viewpoint, even if I disagree with it. For example the gay cake thing. I could understand both sides of it. But with this, I can think of no reason at all to be against it, besides being homophobic. Which may seem obvious...but yeah, I would love someone to change my mind on that though..or at least try to get me to understand, someone who disagrees that gay relationships should be portayed on TV/kids shows. But I cannot see it. All the negative reactions seem to be along the 'omg, pure filth!' line, which is ridiculous.

So cute, I’m assuming the PC brigade are kicking up a fuss about this?

I understand it from a parents point of view. And have no issue with it at all. Infact I would like to see much more normalizing of gay relationships. They are not something that should be hidden away tbh. Just think how many kids have 'unconventional' families these days, be that single parent families, 2 fathers, 2 mothers..whatever. If all kids see is the general mum and dad and 2.4 children type families, it will surely make them think there is something 'wrong' with their own setup?

There are several parents in this thread. You can’t blame you discomfort with homosexuality on being a parent, sorry, you just cant.

..I guess from a parental point of view, Brillo...I would say that you would be a parent that would never ever want your child to feel they were perceived as ‘taboo’ in some way...something that wasn’t suitable for children, for their peers somehow...that some society views would perceive them or their family as ‘not the norm’....so to encourage TV programmes like this that present the realities of love and marriage, could only be a good and progressive thing...any discomfort that a parent might feel is only because of their own ‘conditioning’ from childhood as a perceived ‘norm’...the only way that can change and prevent prejudice is for it to end and for change to happen...changes like this and what we as parents present to our children as the norm....

I'm failing to see the issue here... Yes I do agree govt and institutions often try to supercede the parents on their parental authoritt, but that is for a different thread and not related to media... even if it is an issue with religion, even then I dont think normalizing cartoons with what they may encounter irl is not sensible... if you're religious then that will be the reality. anyway.

I am gay, and I am the child of two parents, and I am sure my parents quite understand how beneficial more exposure would have been to me and other LGBT children.

Then again, I'm not sure why I am bothering, as one person, or even ten individuals cannot argue with ingrained homophobia

And those that don’t share the same opinion are entitled to it. There are plenty of parents that don’t. You don’t tell others how to feel!

With Steven Universe I'm glad that they're joining this campaign to make gay relationships acceptable on children's TV, and hopefully they don't make them as annoying as adult TV Show romances can be between two homosexuals sometimes.

But that isnt because they are parents, it is because they are homophobic wrecks who, unfortunately for the world, bred.
