Disney's kids' cartoon "DuckTales" has introduced a gay couple — two dads — as the parents of Violet, who's a friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, LGBTQ Nation reported.
Violet's dads adopt her friend Lena in the episode, the outlet said, adding that Violet dubs her "my sister from a couple of misters."
Their names are Tyrian "Ty" Sabrewing and Indigo "Indy" Sabrewing, LGBTQ Nation said. They both wear T-shirts with the phrase "I'M WITH DAD" on the front along with arrows pointing at each other.
What does the show's co-executive producer have to say?
"DuckTales" co-executive producer and story editor Frank Angones noted that "we had a lot of conversations about who Violet was and what her background was and came up with this fun notion of her too enthusiastic, overly supportive dads who love being dads."
"I'm well aware that the 'queer representation through parents and background characters' trope is an issue, and we've sort of stumbled backwards into a lot of heteronormative romances in this show due to legacy characters with pre-existing relationships (Scrooge and Goldie, Donald and Daisy, Fenton and Gandra) and how many specific hoops you have to jump through to make changes to established Disney characters," Angones said.

Won’t be getting Disney+ anytime in my lifetime.
Fags have no business being dads
Disney has long been gutted by the modern dollar chasing leadership and is never turned on in my house when my grandsons are here. Certainly not when they are not here.
You’re not alone.
I don’t remember this in any Carl Barks comic
This is one of the many reasons that world wide, people see contemporary western civ as a sewer.
And I do not blame them.
Garbage.
Perfect time to ditch Disney
Disney has had absolute zero impact on my household and my kids
Instagram and tic toc? Different story !
We are truly in a lost age.

The covid recession has to be hitting Disney, with theme parks and theaters closed. Doesn’t seem like a good time to be turning off the audiences for the products they can still market
Dizzy has sucked for a longish time. So to speak.
It’s offical.. Disney is a Dark Force.
You finally figured that out?
I’ve noticed a 15 year decline.
Disney’s been going through censoring their old movies and videos to remove things THEY now deem “offensive” - first it was smoking in Pecos Bill a few years back to now covering Darryl Hannah’s butt in Splash...

But gay sex is a-ok!
Disney pretended very successfully for many years to be morally upright, American loving. Remember the big scandal when some mouseketeers got a little frisky.
Suddenly Disney got woke. Most of the people they had marketed American mainstream to over the years don’t like the new direction and turn off sexualized &/or LGBTQ cartoons but they don’t completely turn away because of the decades of family entertainment they were raised on.
Any of the that contrived homosexual acceptance pablum and I am gone. But I still take grandkids to Disneyworld. Very frustrating.
This is evil.
For sure.
