I have not seen the episode in question, so I don't know how the
situation was handled.  Was attention called to the fact that the couple
are lesbians?  If so, then I DO have a problem with that.  I don't think
that it is necessary to exploit ANYONE'S sexuality in family
programming.  When characters or children visit a family, do we call
attention to their parents' sexuality?  What if they are bi, or
swingers?  Do we mention that?  I think not.  This is just my personal
opinion.

"If we didn't have libraries, many people thirsty for knowledge would
dehydrate." (Megan Jo Tetrick, age 12, Daleville, Indiana)

The Vigo County Public Library is "easy to find. It's the million-story
building at Seventh and Poplar streets." (Lori Henson in her
"Briefcases" column, Terre Haute Tribune-Star, 10/8/02)

Thank you so much for this information.  I have lost respect for PBS,
have always thought of public television as the last resort for unbiased
information.  Life is full of diversity!  Isn't that what all the
multi-cultural hoopla is all about?  What  purpose to hide this from
children? Better they see a loving, happy family in their preschool
years to offset the prejudice and hypocrisy they will encounter later.
Think DOE and PBS personnel have their own hangups with gay and lesbian
relationships and want to pass this on to preschool children as soon as
they can.  Cultural diversity is only for some people, not all, and, by
cracky, my government and my public TV network can decide this forme
using my tax dollars.  This is what they are really saying.  Nasty,
nasty.
I hope they grow up, but probably not in my lifetime.
