The children‘s show Peppa Pig is the latest to introduce an LGBT couple to preschoolers.
In an episode titled “Families,” Penny Polar Bear introduced Peppa to her “mummy and her other mummy.” “One mummy is a doctor, and the other cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti,” Penny said as she drew a family photo.

The episode aired on British TV earlier this week, and reactions have been mixed.
“That’s the end of the Peppa Pig phenomenon. What a shame. Education not indoctrination,” author Nick Buckley tweeted. “Children need to learn the basics, the norm, the generalisations – not the outliers, the exceptions or the fashionable.”
