Merseyside-based LGBTQ+ parents have said the introduction of a same-sex couple on Peppa Pig is “wonderful”.
Earlier this month, the popular children’s cartoon aired an episode which included its first same-sex couple. The scenes saw the character Penny Polar Bear drawing two female polar bears in dresses alongside her friends. Explaining her sketch to pals including Suzi Sheep and Danny Dog, Penny said: "I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti."
Following the airing of the episode on Channel 5, many took to social media to welcome the LGBTQ+ characters, however, not everybody was as keen as some argued sexuality should be left out of children's programmes.
