Our friends in the public television realm are doing their best to normalize homosexuality by introducing kids to same-sex "families" in public television kids cartoons.
According to the Pioneer Press, an upcoming episode of "Postcards from Buster" (Buster is Arthur the aardvark's best friend. For those of you unfarmilair with Arthur, he is the Barney of the 21st century) features:
...a farm family that milks cows, builds bonfires and makes maple syrup.Seems tame. Except the rural Vermont family is headed by same-sex parents.
Of 349 public television stations across the nation, only 21 have commited to airing the episode, our local Twin Cities Public Television among them.
It makes me long for the good old days when Mr. Rogers visited peanut butter factories and fed fish.
