Why is there no LGBT representation in Arthur?

>>90604752
The show was never really one to delve into relationships like that, IIRC.

>>90604752
Sexual orientation should be a non-issue, non-discussed character trait for children in life and cartoons.

They can get into that once their hormones take over their bodies and cause havoc in junior/highschool, Arthur takes place in a realm devoid of that turmoil; as it is, it's dramatic enough.

Wrong

>>90604752
Because Arthur "throw a frag at every fag" Read is truly /our/ boy

>>90604752
It's an educational cartoon, which means it aims to teach facts.

This.

>>90604752
Because they're 9.

They tried, but turns out that kids weren't very interested in Binky pounding Arthur's ass for half an episode.

All the rabbits seemed like they'd end up being gay when they're older.

They tried once, in Postcards from Buster.

Didn't really go that well.

>In January 2005, Margaret Spellings, United States Secretary of Education, revealed that the show had explored same-sex marriage. Episode #33, "Sugartime!", which features Buster visiting Hinesburg, Vermont to learn about the production of maple sugar, includes Buster meeting several children who have lesbian parents. Vermont was one of the first states to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples. In the episode, the word lesbian or homosexual is never said, and the episode — like all Postcards episodes — has no sexual content.

>Buster meets the children and comments, "Boy, that's a lot of moms!"; one girl mentions her "mom and stepmom," adding that she loves her stepmother very much, and no other comments are made about the couple. PBS vice president of media relations Lea Sloan said at the time, "The fact that there is a family structure that is objectionable to the Department of Education is not at all the focus of the show, nor is it addressed in the show."

>Spellings demanded that PBS return all federal funding that had been used in the production of the episode, claiming that "many parents would not want their young children exposed to the lifestyles portrayed in this episode." PBS decided not to distribute this episode, but some member stations across the country chose to air the episode, including WNET in New York, KCET in Los Angeles, and KERA in Dallas–Fort Worth, which are flagship stations; and the show's co-producer, WGBH in Boston (which distributed the episode directly to public television stations after PBS's decision).

>Some of these stations opted to air this episode in prime-time, with some following the episode with a local discussion on the controversy. Cusi Cram, a writer for Arthur, later wrote a play titled Dusty and the Big Bad World, based on this controversy.
