quote:

The season premiere of the children’s cartoon Arthur featured a same-sex wedding, surprising some young viewers about the sexuality of the protagonists’ primary school teacher Mr. Ratburn.

The episode, entitled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone,” shows aardvark Arthur’s third-grade teacher Mr. Ratburn tying the knot another man. When Arthur and his friends find out their teacher is getting married, they assume that he is getting married to a female rat named Patty.

However, they eventually discover that Patty (voiced by Jane Lynch) is his sister and that his actual partner is a chocolatier named Patrick.

I'm ok with gays doing whatever the hell they want with each other in their personal lives, but pushing this crap on kids like it is normal, is wrong.

can't encourage 5 year olds to come out as gay if you aren't indoctrinating them at 3 and 4.

Gay people can get married and have loving, fulfilling relationships too.

Get over it.

Gays in 2008: We won't be dressing in drag, coming to your kids schools and indoctrinating them, you homophobic bigots! We aren't going to push our lifestyle on the children! How dare you!

Gays in 2019: How dare you protest Drag Queen Reading time where we send convicted pedos to read to kids at your schools. How dare you be upset when we push this in kid's shows!

PS - I'm pro-gay everything, but I too disagree with this. Between this and trying to encourage kids they are another gender, there is something bigger going on here.

They'll be fullfilling each other alright, full filling each other's butt.

With semen...

Because they're gay.

My head instinctively gravitated to "Ricky Bobby voice" as I read this.

Nobody's saying otherwise. But don't normalize that aberrant behavior and make kids think it's the "norm", because it isn't. Nothing normal about it.

To be fair...I'd guess there are more gay married people than starting NFL quarterbacks. But, if this cartoon dude were portrayed as an NFL QB - would we complain it is not the "norm"?

I get the objection. I really do. But, it is "normal" in the sense that it now exists and will forevermore in this country. So, I guess we will just have to learn to deal with it.


Once upon a time, they could not show married couples getting into the same bed on TV. If a girl appeared in a bikini on TV it was SCANDALOUS. Times change.

There are more law abiding gun owners in the US than homosexuals, yet this show would never portray them in a positive light.

It is all propaganda.

are you trolling or are you seriously comparing a job to personal sexual behavior?

Or what would happen? Specifically, what are you afraid of?

My house is 10+ years past Arthur viewing. That rat teacher always seemed swishy.

Did he come out as gay before, or is this the big reveal?

Targeting kids is not right. It's up to the parents.
