If someone wants to make up a more concise term to describe those who, under the influence of the devil, relentlessly and persistently push the homosexual agenda, let’s hear it!
And the subject of this thread is, those who, under the influence of the devil, relentlessly and persistently push the homosexual agenda on children.

Certainly it is not appropriate to introduce a homosexual wedding in a show for little children. Ideally, a parent ought to be able to trust that a TV show rated Y (“Young,” for young children) contains harmless, innocuous content, rather than content that may force them to explain mature adult concepts before they are ready. Though clearly, that is not that case anymore.

There are young children who have gay parents, gay grandparents, gay aunts and uncles. Maybe the intention was to one time let those kids not feel like complete outsiders.

Hey, pup…this is a forum. A place where ideas are discussed. Don’t you want to do that?

With all due respect, I don’t know what to say if we have reached the point where Christians think it’s okay to push the idea of homosexual relationships in kids’ television.

Kids come from all sorts of situations in life that we would probably agree should not be portrayed on children’s television as good.

The sad thing about all this is that it had to happen on a show like Arthur. I grew up watching it in the late 90s and early 00s, and, until May, it was extremely wholesome. And then one 15 minute segment had to blow it all. 😦

It’s also, from what some people here in CAF have told me, a place where Catholics can practice their apologetics. The forums used to have the tag line, “to explain and defend the faith.” If everyone said only those things that were perfectly inline with official Catholic doctrine, it wouldn’t give anyone in CAF much to practice their skill at apologetics with, would it?

You truly see nothing wrong with a TV show for preschoolers portraying a gay wedding?
 
Total strangers are pushing the agenda. As in the past, Catholics and other Christians were not asked or told until it appeared. A lot of groundwork had to be laid to get to this point.
 
Since marriage between one man and one woman is a natural and valid institution regardless of the religion, I would have no problem with those either. “Marriage” between two men or two women is not possible or valid, so the comparision doesn’t hold up. Are you Catholic? I can’t remember, and it doesn’t say on your profile. (I ask respectfully, as it helps to know the worldview of the person I’m responding to.)

Unfortunately that is what we’ve come to, with so many today lacking even a fundamental understanding of Scripture and moral theology.
 
Catholics should be made aware of what’s going on. Starting in the early 1970s, bad and negative distortions began to appear on TV. They were added in a slow, gradual way. By the time it got really bad, it was really bad. The same thing is occurring today in TV shows with a young viewership. A gay man is married and then divorced but his character continues as a reminder to the viewer as if such things have always been on TV. They haven’t. They are being added in the same gradual way now. The agenda should be called what it is: normalize behaviors. I have no problem with characters who are gay but married? Yes. Legalize it first then promote it on TV.
 
All part of the agenda.
And whose agenda is it? Those who follow Christ know.
 
Well, I respect TheLittleLady, and I did not at all mean to imply that she lacks understanding in this area, so I hope that comment did not come across wrong.

But we have traversed a long way in this culture if we have gotten to the point where everyone thinks that this type of agenda-pushing in kids’ television is no big deal. Even 15 years ago, putting a gay wedding on a kids cartoon would have caused some uproar, and not just among Christians.

I don’t think those other religions aren’t asked because of some inferiority, I think they’re not asked because the media industry doesn’t want to put them in uncomfortable position of having to take a side on a contentious issue.
 
Hollywood itself is cautious about taking sides on certain issues as well. They would prefer not getting a negative reaction from viewers.

You can’t expect TV to remain the same as it was in the 1960s. Society has changed quite a lot since then. In my opinion, what appears on TV is not too far off from where the rest of society is. Considering that we’ve had same-sex marriage in some states such as Massachusetts since 2004 and most polls show that a majority of Americans now support same-sex marriage, it’s not surprising that it’s finally shown up in Arthur.
 
When my kid was little, people complained that the Teletubbies were gay because one carried a purse.

Before that it was Bert and Ernie.

There was another kids TV show, there were men who sang, they also did tours, cannot remember the name for the life of me (popular in the aughts). The preachers decried them for being gay.
 
It is not a wedding of people, the characters look like mice to me.
