    Of course, if the partner he was marrying was a woman, you'd have said the same thing, right?

Not doing so only makes it harder for kids to understand the concept of being gay, as well as gay marriage, and that has the potential for kids to view it as different and/or not normal.
    But kids shows have been that way as long as there have been kids shows. However the morals they used to push are no longer controversial, so we forgot they were at the time.

    Take for instance "Leave it to Beaver" which is sort of the quintessential 1950s kids show, and now seen by many as sort of an icon of Wholesome American Values. But the wholesome American values it championed were rather new at the time, and much of the show was actually seen as controversial at the time. As an example, the first episode was nearly banned because it depicted a Bathroom and a toilet. Which was considered crass, and unfit for television. More serious concerns including depictions of alcoholism and friendships across social lines, which was highly controversial at the time. Parents were shown as fallible people who were not always correct, which was seen as a disruptive message for a show aimed at young children. Granted the show was still popular, but it was far from immune to criticisms of "Propaganda"

    The same thing occurred in the 1960s, where shows began to show women working, including black characters in roles other then domestic servants, and so forth. Many of them staked clear positions in the fight over civil rights, and were subsequently blasted for it.

    Before TV, Radio did the same thing, before that, magazines and newspapers did it, before that, Plays and Minstrel Shows did so. Claiming this is somehow new to the 21st century is distinct lack of awareness in how popular forms of children's entertainment always have been.

    I'm also not a fan of putting propaganda in children cartoons.
    I dont see how you can view love between two adults as propaganda. You could just admit that you hate gay people..

    I find this ironic since Alabama has no problem incest, but they care about two fictional characters being gay.

    showing the existence of a gay couple isn't politics.

    it's religion in government that allows this, this is why all religion should be banned.

    Perhaps they are standing up to the left wing media and saying you will NOT indoctrinate our kids in your anything goes gender/LGBT agenda. That is up to the parents to decide if its OK or not. The only LGBT They and I support is Liberty, Guns, Bibles, and Trump. Same reason I and so many other boycott everything Disney owns

    It has nothing to do with gender politics, homosexuality is normal and happens with most species.

    i agree that the 57 gender shit is a load of crap that needs to not be taught.

    but gay people actually exist, and there's nothing wrong with it. no religious doctrine should have ANY say in our laws as a nation, it's forbidden by the constitution.

    In my mind, Trump doesn't really appear to be aligned to either liberty or the Bible. He seems both scummy and oppressive

    Gay propaganda aimed at 5 years olds.
    What's next, pedo propaganda aimed at children?

    Religion does a fine job of indoctrination and poisoning the minds of youths, teaching people it is ok to be gay is not a bad thing. I have friends who had very hard times because people are horrible.

    When the SCOTUS reviews it again with judges that rule based on the Constitution rather than feelings

    They can. The Supreme Court ruled gay marriage bans unconstitutional.

    Gay characters getting married = "propaganda" lol.

    They're literally trying to overturn Roe v. Wade as we speak.

    Apparently ~20% of the US still thinks intermarriage is wrong.

    https://www.newsweek.com/20-percent-...l-finds-845608

    Alabama still had anti-miscegenation laws on its books up to at least 1999:

    Alabama continues to uphold the proud tradition of being the embodiment of evangelical hypocrisy, I see.

    "Little girl gets raped? Make her carry the child to term!"
    "Roy Moore? More like, Roy Hell Yeah!"
    "School full of kids gets shot up by a psychopath? Defund mental health and thoughts and prayers!"
    "A cartoon is getting gay married?! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"

    Why don't they just offer thoughts and prayers to every family where Daddy has to stop beating his wife long enough to explain that other people live other lives? Maybe he can do it while he's nuts-deep in his little girl, who will then be forced to carry daughter-granddaughter to term.
