Thing is, if there was a gay couple in a very young kids film they probably wouldn't even notice that they were a couple but that's the whole point I think, they would still be exposed to seeing it whether they understood it or not and it would be seen as just normal stuff they'll come across in everyday life. Instead of saying all of a sudden when they hit 8 we'll start putting these characters into their movies that they will notice, that makes it seem odd and not true to real life, if you know what I mean? I mean new babies feature in kids movies, that doesn't mean that kids will suddenly start asking where the baby came from and how it was made etc, it's something they'll start wondering about later and asking about later, sure some kids may start to wonder earlier than others, that doesn't mean we start cutting new babies from childrens films
