Peppa Pig: First same-sex couple for children's show

Sep 7,2022 12:20 pm

Beloved by pre-school audiences in the UK, US, Australia and Latin America , Peppa Pig is arguably one of The Most recognisable - and Popular - cartoon animals in The World .

It is perhaps no wonder, then, that the programme's decision to introduce its first same-sex couple has made waves.

During an episode titled Families, which first aired on Tuesday on Channel 5 in the UK, where Peppa Pig is made, the eponymous character was introduced to friend Penny Polar Bear 's mothers.

While drawing a portrait of her family, Penny explained: " I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor And One mummy cooks spaghetti. "

The programme, created by British animators Mark Baker and Neville Astley , has been running since 2004. This is the First Time in its 18-Year history a same-sex couple has been featured.

It Comes two years after a on a US-based website, demanding a " same-sex parent family on Peppa Pig ". It has garnered almost 24,000 signatures.

" Children watching Peppa Pig are at an impressionable age, " The Creators of the petition wrote. " Excluding same-sex families will teach them that only families with either a Single Parent or two parents of different sexes are normal. "

Robbie de Santos, director of communications and external affairs at LGBT rights charity Stonewall, described seeing a same-sex family in fictional Peppatown as " fantastic".

" Many of those who watch The Show will have two mums or two dads themselves and it will mean a lot to parents and children that their experiences are being represented on such an iconic children's programme, " he told The Bbc .

Peppa Pig is by no means The First children's programme to feature same-sex couples. US cartoon Arthur, aimed at four to eight-Year -olds, won praise back in 2019 after it showed a gay wedding during its 22nd series.

At The Time , Maria Vera Whelan of Pbs Kids - where Arthur ran until it ended earlier this Year - Said in a statement PBS believed it was " important to represent the wide array of adults in the lives of children".

Other Popular cartoons to have touched on LGBT relationships have included Adventure Time and Steven Universe - both are also from the US but aimed at audiences aged 10 and above.

Following the latest episode of Peppa Pig , Twitter was alive with debate about the introduction of Penny Polar Bear 's family. " Lesbians in Peppa Pig . . Can 't Kids shows Just Be for Kids ? " One Man , accusing The Show of " box-ticking".

Another disagreed, " Well what do you know? My Kids saw The First same-sex couple on Peppa Pig and The World didn't end. "
