Children’s TV Series Peppa Pig Presents Lesbian Couple

The British children’s cartoon peppa Pig is debuting a lesbian couple in its most recent episode. 

them reports:

The groundbreaking scene features Peppa and her friends Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog, and Penny Polar Bear drawing pictures of their family. Penny draws two female polar bears (we know they’re female because they have eyelashes and are wearing dresses, of course) and says, “I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti.” A lesbian polar bear power couple — what’s not to love?

In 2019, campaigners launched a petition calling on the writers of “Peppa Pig” to include a same-sex parent family, to make it more inclusive for all children, CNN reports.

This kind of presentation is extremely  important for al kids, as they serve to normalize and humanize queer lives. They are also important for queer kids, who may become aware of their orientation or gender identity long before puberty.
