I voted no as a general vote.But i'm not totally against it.I think it depends on the age range that these shows are aimed at really.I'd say no for shows aimed at really young kids who have'nt even learned about the birds and the bees yet and about relationships in general.I think it could just confuse them and also raise questions that the parents are'nt ready to answer yet.I mean maybe if there was a warning at the start so the parents could choose wether their kids watch or not then that would be ok but without knowing which shows this would be in then parents have no control over when their kids are exposed to it.
I think parents need to be in control of when they decide to educate their children on certain subjects and wether their kids are ready or not,Kids mature at different rates.Also when kids do sex education at school and learn about what men and women do to make babies it could raise questions about what men and men or women and women do and i don't think alot of parents or teachers would be
A.knowledgable enough
or
B.would want to have to try and explain it.

...well all teachers will have sex education training and go on courses first because the 'knowledge' is mainly how it's delivered for understanding as well..and explaining any type of sex education/whatever the sexuality..?..non would be any more difficult than another...

...a gay couple I know have just adopted children/not babies but slightly older children ...they're parents are both male and yet, they won't see two male parents or same sex parents on their TV shows so that may make them feel 'different' ...and that shouldn't be the case.../anyways, yeah interesting and complicated...
