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.
I stick by my opinion.You will never turn me

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.

People at 3-4 wouldn't even know what being gay and straight is. Programmes aimed at 3-4 years olds feature teletubbies and Mr Tumble.

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

..the thing is as well ..If those questions are asked then that's the perfect time for them to be asked and answered because the parent is the one there to give the answers and not someone else and they have the complete control over how they will answer, what their child's level of understanding is, no one knows better than a parent...but if they're not asked, then children go on thinking that male/female parents are the 'norm' ...and so and so through another young generation maybe ..?..when those children become parents themselves ...children ask, they ask anything because of their need to be informed...

Which they will...As they get older they will learn about all of these things and grow up to understand and tolerate everybody hopefully.
What you need to remember is that not all kids are the same and not all parents agree with you.If this ever did happen then hopefully there would atleast be a warning before the show so that parents could choose wether they want their kids to watch.

Isn't that kind of breaching gay peoples human rights in a country where we're all supposed to be equal? Having to put a warning up?

Not putting a warning up is breaching parents rights.A warning could atleast let people make a decision about wether it is suitable viewing for their kids to watch.
How else could they do it?
People would just boycott these shows and complain like hell otherwise.

A parent has the right to be homophobic? I don't think so.

mr tumble is quite clearly a flaming homo this shouldn't be an issue tbh

yes, it's not gay pron........ if there is nothing wrong with homosexuals why would it be wrong to have a homosexual couple in a TV show same as having a straight couple

Nothing wrong with it.When they're older and mature enough to understand.I think we are going round in circles.You are'nt going to change my mind.I will never be comfortable with my 3 year old learning about homosexual relationships from Disney cartoons.

And I personally believe that that is fair enough. I think that 3 is a little young if I'm totally honest. I think like you said earlier, 7+ is the right age to include gay relationships, if a show even has relationships at all.

Well yeah that's what think.I think when i was around 7 i knew quite alot tbh from people at school.I probably knew more than i should've.I already get questioned about everything from my eldest and the 'why? why? why?'s' about every little thing.I think at 3 he is not ready to learn about stuff like that yet.He's barely out of nappies.lol.

So you think that showing a child with parents who are of the same gender shouldn't be shown?

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.

People like Northern Monkey are the type that believe in babying their children, raising them to be wimps, wrapping them in bubble wrap so that the poor things can't possibly be exposed to the world around them.

You just made two assumptions there, both of which are not true. Did I say that two parents of the same gender shouldn't be shown? No. I didn't say that at all. I think kids shows should show all kids of families, not matter what age. But from 7+ is the only right age to go more into the 'relationship' aspect of gay families/people/whatever
