Why so many gay couples in tv shows?

Mental disorders, and the sin of sodomy suggested by men “marrying”, shouldn’t be celebrated nor glamourized, should they?
 
I think I would have preferred if he didn’t get married at all. I think it would have been better if he became a teacher and interacted with kids more since he was shown as the “big brother” in the show.
 
This feels like selective outrage. I enjoy Voltron (and as a kid loved the 80s version). That said, the show is violent (torture, warfare, attempted genocide, etc), dark, and deals with quite a few mature themes. Given all this, why is it two characters getting married in a single scene at the end of season 7 that’s a problem (a marriage, that as others have already said, makes the show relatable and accessible for many)?

What really is the sad thing is that the show was rated TV-Y7

Meaning, we can’t even trust that around our kids without watching everything first. 😦

This has been in a lots of kids cartoons and sit coms for a while

Yes, it has.

If, as a parent, you (general “you”)want to control your child’s exposure to secular views you will need to screen content in every aspect of media they interact with.

Alternatively, you can teach them the faith, teach them how to navigate the secular/moral issues of the day, and pray that they are not led astray.
 
I’m pretty sure genocide is never encouraged or celebrated. And it’s pretty clear that those things are bad. These acts are done by villains… the gay marriage wasn’t even questioned. Most of the main characters were shown cheering in the background. If the good guys (not the bad) were shown celebrating and encouraging genocide I’d argue it shouldn’t even be on air.

What do you think of just lgbt+ people in tv shows? Cause one tv show I watch (avatar the last air bender) has a character who liked men and women. The relationship (with either men or women) is never shown and the actual tv show never even hints at the relationship or the character even being part of lgbt+. I heard about it online. The character isn’t even a main character. We only see her maybe two- three times throughout the series.

Okay, thanks for the (name removed by moderator)ut! I’ve pretty much decided to block the other tv show (Voltron) out. Hopefully, I can find a good tv show🙏🏻

If you think being homosexual is the “norm” in todays society I’d certainly suggest you check that word out in the dictionary, since something is wrong with your view on that word.

That ‘community’ has been well over-represented in media, being shoehorned in countless times to the point where it is being turned into a cliche.

I mean “norm” as in most people have a friend or family member who is lgbt and do not view it as shocking or scandalous. Considering that most shows do not have 50+ main characters every “group” will be over or under represented.

As I said before, I’m just questioning if there is some motive or perhaps the scandalous aspect of this is just a different set of values.

Fair enough.
 
By that standard, there should be polygamists and incestuous relationships in children’s television shows too because, well, they exist.

There are kids watching that show who have gay people in their family. The producers want broad appeal.
 
To be fair, those things are not legal in all 50 states, and generally accepted by a substantial portion of society. Gay marriage is.
So is divorce, as another example that is more likely to have a direct impact on a child’s life. Should we also boycott all shows where a couple is remarried? Or should we use these scenarios as teachable moments with our children?
 
Heterosexual divorce and remarriage are not somehow equivalent to the abomination that is homosexuality activity.

I have experienced same sex attraction before. Before I reignited my faith I even dated someone of the same sex. Seeing a gay couple really didn’t help me. We can be represented without a sin. I wish they would show a celibate gay catholic that can help gay Catholics. Or a bi catholic who chooses to be with a man.
 
I’d think that is a bit too much detail for a kid’s cartoon 🙂

Wait, are you saying I gave too much info on myself? (If that’s the case- sorry) Or the gay catholic would be too much informatoon for a kids tv show? Cause yeah, I would agree. It shouldn’t be in a kids tv show. I was implying in general. Not specifically kids shows

Yeah, some people didn’t really have a choice in divorce and are trying to get an annulment. I also think it has to do with how the divorce was represented.
 
Actually, in classical Catholic moral theology, heterosexual incest is less gravely sinful than homosexual activity. Bestiality may be considered more gravely sinful, but not by much.
 
My answers were all about the first post, some kid’s cartoon 🙂
May God bless you
