The ‘consummation’ of a marriage/relationship speaks volumes.

I just don't see how movies like shreak or bea movie where a human falls in love with a non human character is less damaging to children than this is.

I don't have a problem with gay people, the way I see it I could of easily been gay.

Within in gay community there are lyers cheats thiefs and murderers who kill other gay people.

Being gay does not give you the right to preach to non gays that your life is anymore important than anyone else.

Children are sponges they soak up what's being said to them.

Normie marriage is about lovehearts and holding hands, gay marriage is all about penises and bums and spunk every all everywhere. Walls, ceilings, everywhere. Take a mug out of the cupboard and what's that in the bottom? OH JUST GAY SPERM. So don't start telling me that it's OK for homosexuality to ejaculate it's way into kids television, I'm not having it.

...see this is why you’ll never be in charge of a children’s TV network channel TS...because there’s all kinds of wrong in how you would portray gay marriage to very young children right there...now I can see why some may feel a little wary...

[Ammi]

..and who is Normie btw..?...is he/she in a straight marriage or in a gay one..?

The negative reactions to this scene wouldn't have happened if it was a straight couple getting engaged. If you don't have a problem with hte likes of Disney pushing heterosexual love stories on children for decades then you can't argue against the same kind of love story that just so happens to feature a same sex couple.

It just goes to show that the problem is not with 'shoving something down people's throats' but the fact that it's a homosexual relationship that's the problem.

[user104658]

Homosexuality is just too PC for pre watershed television to be quite honest. One minute they're watching two men getting engaged, the next they're buying Trump balloons using their benefits money and voting for Jeremy Corbyn. It has to end somewhere.

The clip in question, you could have the same scene in any fairy tale or kids show and people wouldn't blink if it was a straight couple.

Surely it's more concerning that one of them is blatantly a child

That doesn't sound right...

I actually can't believe this is the first time its happened in a cartoon.

I do think though, it should be more common but also a huge fuss doesn't have to be made each time. Like, kids will see this, and then see all the fuss about it and think 'hey, this must not be normal given the fanfare/kickoffs about it'...if that makes sense? Just needs to be more common but with less fuss, IMO.

Not understanding the protests at all. And I much prefer to see gay weddings that humans marrying animals and such

In time there won't be a fuss but for now there has to be otherwise the negative response would be louder and taint the whole situation.

Oh yeah I understand that.

Genuinely not sure what people are objecting to here. I could understand if the cartoon had showed graphic scenes of the wedding night or something, but that would be an issue with a straight relationship too

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.

[Vicky.]

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?

This thread would suggest otherwise

[Vicky.]

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?

Well, quite. When I was on supply the other day one kid said "my mums are from Poland and Australia" and I accidentally said "pardon?" and someone else loudly said "Poland and Australia" haha

[Maru]

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.
