Because there are way too many ignorant morons in this world, I've vowed for years to raise my children to be intelligent, understanding, and open-minded. That's probably harder to do than it should be. My one main problem is: what movies and TV shows can I show to my children?! Of course I'll allow them to watch Disney movies and such if they so desire, but isn't there some children's show/movie that doesn't revolve solely around white heterosexual couples? I want my kids to know that there are all kinds of families and relationships, but there are so few children's cartoons that portray diverse people.

A few years ago, on the children's show "Postcards from Buster" an episode was made where Buster visited a lesbian couple. Of course they didn't talk about sex, they didn't attempt to explain what "sexual orientation" means to young viewers, they didn't even focus on the fact that the women were lesbians. Buster visits all kinds of families, and this family just happened to have two mommies. But for some reason, people decided that exposing children to the fact that there are all types of people in the world and teaching them to be respectful wasn't acceptable, and that specific episode of "Postcards from Buster" never aired.

I went on an online hunt to find any cartoons or kids shows that feature GLBT people. I was only able to find two. One is called "Buddy G, My Two Moms and Me":




The other is "Dottie's Magic Pockets":
