New LGBTQ character in Veggie Tales?

Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer, the man who swears he’s not progressive despite knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, thumbing his nose at “Cracker Barrel Christians,” getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and coming out as pro-choice, has a burr in his saddle.
On episode 537 of the Holy Post podcast, Vischer is set off by Al Mohler’s column critiquing David French for his endorsement of the “Respect For Marriage Act.” In particular, this paragraph by Mohler really got him going:
"One of the most perplexing marks of our time is the defection of so many “conservatives” from the cause of conserving what Russell Kirk called “the permanent things.” If marriage is not conserved—if civil marriage is not conserved as a man-woman union—then nothing genuinely conservative can last, at least for long. Support for the Respect for Marriage Act is bad enough. The way David French frames his argument is worse. This is how conservatism dies, and this is how marriage is surrendered.
In response, Vischer begins sniping that Mohler is “not defending the faith in this. He’s defending conservatism. Conservatism has become the thing that we are supposed to fight for. Not Jesus. Not the faith. Not the church.”
Then, in what may be the clearest indication yet that Vischer has become pro-LBGTQ, he criticizes people who say that heterosexual marriage is a foundational belief that must never be compromised, saying that confederate soldiers said the same thing about slavery, making a 1-to-1 comparison.

Idiocy.
How sad.
A lot of people noticed that his “Christian” Veggietales never actually presented the Gospel. It was just vague moralism using Bible storires. This confirms his anti-Christian orientation. (All the more so since creation doctrine is foundational to all other Christian doctrine, so his insults against it make his coming out as an anti-Christian inevitable.)
To think that Focus on the Family helped this fraudulent hack sell a lot of product.

That sound you all just heard was me tossing our Veggie Tales DVD collection into the burn barrel.
A fake Christian who made bunches of money from Christians is criticizing real Christians for not being fake Christians.
What a dirtbag. Breaks my heart.
have their little civil service wedding, we just don’t want it in the churches...
We loved Veggie tales back 25 years ago.
funny and entertaining.
Not everything is a bible lesson.
Funny how he didn’t really start commenting until he collected his thirty pieces of silver.
Disgusted.
I’m sure there must be dozens of Obama or Biden judges that would be happy to perform a “marriage” ceremony for same-sex couples.
Awww look, a bigot. I’m sure he points that crooked finger at Muslims, too.
No room for differing beliefs and marriage is a religious term, the homosexuals need to stop appropriating.
Civil union for legal reasons— not marriage.
I stopped watching or buying any new Vegietales a long time ago. These guys were exposed as leftists a while back. A pox be upon them.
Well, I guess we now know what Larry did with his hairbrush.
This is very very distressing to me. I think he was about 14 when we first met him with his family. His mother is so special to us, and I well remember the day I was in a small group and she asked prayer for her son as he was creating this new thing with Vegetables. I loved those songs. I’m not going to comment on any more than to say I’m very sad, and hope this is not truly reflective of his beliefs.
I am okay with both of these as long as the butt buddies keep it to themselves. Marriage was never instituted by government. It is a religious sacrament. Period! It’s getting to the point that many Christians are not even recognizable to me. I have no idea how they can pervert 2000 years of teaching and wisdom.
