The long-running animation series “Arthur” on PBS Kids aired its season premiere on Monday and it included a blockbuster moment: a same-sex marriage featuring the aardvark’s teacher Mr. Ratburn. Following the scene that shows the teacher and his husband Patrick walking down the aisle, Arthur is shown at the reception saying he cannot believe that Mr. Ratburn is married. “Yep. It’s a brand new world,” says Arthur’s friend Francine in the episode entitled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone” which can be seen by clicking here. It is not the first time the franchise has dealt with same-sex marriage.

The government is forcing things on us that they would have arrested us for doing a couple of years ago.

Arthur was one I watched with my grandsons. The little girls prefer Daniel Tiger, one of Mister Rogers characters.
Arthur is out now...keeping an eye on Daniel.
Please leave these little kids out of this! Let the kids in these families deal with it..they have too. The rest of the kids should not have ANY information regarding adult sexual practices. Their innocence needs to be protected.
The time to simply be a kid and sort out the world in their own way is growing shorter and shorter. I´m sure that God isn´t pleased.

Deplorable, disgusting and revolting is all I can say at the moment. PBS, pushing and brainwashing on our children about abnormal sexual activity should cause the loss of any taxpayer money.

If you think that kids are growing up aimless and nihilistic now - you ain´t seen nothing yet! Roles are fundamental to a stable, healthy culture, and they are being degraded and dissolved. Our birth rate will continue to decline and early death from overdose and suicide increase.
The tragic result is that real happiness - the fulfillment of the creator´s purpose - will decline and the people who have destroyed the culture will cast about for someone or something to blame.
All that can be said in prescient warning to those destroying Western Culture is "You´re not going to like the world you´re creating!"

What a shame. "Arthur" was a cute show that you could let your kids watch.
Not anymore.

It is all part of the left’s strategy to approve any behavior that it deems acceptable. It is a slippery slope and in ten years or even less will we be celebrating a concerted effort to keep dumbing down what little moral values we have. This is especially disturbing because of its target and also because when homosexuality is celebrated it is a harbinger of the end of a nation. While homosexuality is a sin like all others, it has its own set of consequences because of the debauchery and hedonism that follows. It is ultimately destructive. No amount of acceptance or tolerance will change that fact.
I remember a time in this country when children were actually protected from this vile world. Now they are indoctrinated in its most lascivious desires early. I will not purchase or watch anything that promotes sexuality of anykind when it is targeted to children. Goodbye PBS and Arthur.

The battle between the religious and the secular is a big one. They won´t stop with this indoctrination about homosexuality and now are pushing it in schools and with children´s programming. I have even seen a commercial or two about gay couples.
Too bad we cannot have a conservative version of public TV but without governmental funding.

Homosexuality used to be career ending. Is it possible that this indoctrination of children will both inure them to homos in the church and recruit them into the lifestyle?

Why do so many TV shows feature the LGBT community? It doesn´t make sense. It turns off more people than it attracts.

The LGBTQ community came out of the closet and discovered that nobody wanted to shoot or hang them. Now they want to go the next step and assume superiority over us. I don´t care what goes on in their pathetic heads I just don´t want my tax money supporting their sick causes. Gay Pride is Gay Propaganda.

Gotta say, I´m glad that I don´t have children!
The indoctrination of your kids is truly frightening. I don´t care what anyone does in the bedroom but this should be a topic left to the parents of the child to discuss when deemed appropriate.

I tend to be an optimist. If we can convince our children to be homosexuals it will cut down majorly on the number of abortions.

#21, it is because a significant number of the Hollyweird folks are homosexuals themselves, and they are DESPERATE to get everyone to tell them how normal they are.
Deep down, they know that they are perverse, and abnormal, a tiny minority with severely abnormal sexual choices. But they desperately want to be perceived as normal, and if it takes literally subverting everything and everyone to get ´everyone else´ to call them normal, then they will do it. And pounding people with the law and with risk of loss of job for speaking out against homosexuality ´norming´ is all part of it.
And a bunch of leftist heterosexuals are on board with the whole re-education campaign.

I keep thinking the polygamists have really dropped the ball on the whole ´´we want to be considered normal´´ sweepstakes. What argument made for same-sex marriage can´t be made for having multiple marriage partners?

How are gay men supposed to target young boys unless they begin sexualizing them early and start them "questioning" their identities? Demonic stuff.
