“I live with my mom and my other mom,” Penny said. “One mom is a doctor and the other mom cooks spaghetti.”
The British animated series can be seen in numerous countries, including the Netherlands. Two years ago, a petition was started in the United States to introduce a same-sex couple. “Excluding same-sex families will teach them that only families with one parent or two parents of different sexes are normal,” said the person who started the petition. Nearly 24,000 people agreed.
The director of British charity Stonewall, which campaigns for equal rights for the LGBTI community, calls it “great” that Peppa Pig has added a same-sex couple after 18 years. “Many who watch the show have two mothers or two fathers of their own and it will mean a lot to parents and children to have their experiences represented in such an iconic children’s program.”
