The kids have thwarted all of my attempts to write coherently on this topic for the last few days but here are my thoughts in a nutshell:
1. Don’t critique it without watching it first. I have not seen it, nor do I expect to.
2. Sexuality has no place on a show for 5-9 year olds.
3. How bout a “don’t ask, don’t tell sort of thing”? Not a “Sally Has Two Mommies” sort of thing? I know my Big Gay Friends won’t much like it, but I’m trying to be tactful. Compromise. They might very well have done that, I didn’t see it. (see #1)
Oh I’m talking about the Postcards From Buster that featured a lesbian couple and child. Just in case you haven’t heard the scuttlebutt. Yahoo! news search for Buster.
Editing to add that Faith and I both really enjoy this show and talk about it every time we see it.
