Earlier this week, the popular British preschool cartoon Peppa Pig, which airs on Nick Jr., introduced a same-sex couple to its young audience, a first in the program’s 18-year history.
In an episode of the Hasbro owned show titled “Families,” the character Penny Polar Bear shared with her classmates that her parents are two moms.
“I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mommy and my other mommy,” Penny said while showing a hand drawn portrait of her family. Penny told the class, “One mommy is a doctor and one mommy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti.”
