Bandwagon builds for LGBTQ diversity on children's TV
S.A. Express News ^ | 7/31/19 | Leanne Italie, Ap Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Wilson Cruz, a co-star in the new Hulu animated children's series "The Bravest Knight," describes the show's dad couple this way: "We're not explaining homosexuality, or same-gender sexuality. We're talking about the love of a family."

His words and those of his fellow Hulu father, T.R. Knight, speak loudly about the state of LGBTQ representation in TV fare for kids, a segment of media that has been broadening story lines over the last several years to include a range of non-binary characters.

"It's these parents that love her and care about her. That's it," Knight told The Associated Press in a recent joint interview with Cruz, referring to their cartoon daughter, Nia, a brave knight-in-training.

Seeing same-sex parents, gay marriage and general expressions of romantic non-binary affection is something the 46-year-old Knight wishes he had been exposed to growing up in Minneapolis.

"You feel starved, and you feel lonely, and that depression and that loneliness, it ain't healthy," he said.

That’s why PBS had to end reruns of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
Ol’ Fred was just too heteronormative.

“For a girl will one day grow to be a lady,
And a boy will one day grow to be a man.”

Can’t have that now, can we?

I used to think tolerance, live-and-let-live, was the way to go.

I am seriously re-thinking that.

The LGBTQ thing is and always has been a plot to be in our face all the time...

Must congratulate them, their victory is epic. There is no escaping them...

Sure, because he's 46, not a kid. Just think how screwed up his mental state would be now. But kids don't want to be emotionally confused adults. That's something he no doubt forgot at some point.

Exactly.

To claim this is necessary for pre-adolescents is straight-up recruitment.

What about the harm it potentially does?

Another reason the thought of moving to Poland gets more and more attractive to me with each passing day.

Happily, none of our grandchildren care to watch television. When our kids were young in the ‘80s, we thought the anti-business bias preached in all the cartoons, with bosses shown as being evil, greedy polluters was bad. But this is much, much worse. This introduces children to dangerous and unhealthy behaviors that could cost them their lives. Parents should beware of the predators in all forms of media.

Gay parents potrayed as an ideal, loving family. In other shows, traditional parents portrayed as bumbling fools. Wonder what message they’re sending kids?

A family that wouldn’t exist without heterosexuality. Morons.

Thankfully TV is dying or dead. Unfortunately the liberals and poorly educated or liberally educated classes and the elderly/shut ins are the only ones left watching.

If you want sewage in your living room keep the cable and keep the TV.

In other words ... they’re “normalizing” their behavior.

Is this what’s called Cultural Marxism?

Time to either stop kids from watching TV, or simply throw the TV into the trash.
