Disney Channel introduces
network’s first same-sex couple
Disney Channel featured its first same-sex couple Sunday
night during an episode of “Good Luck Charlie.”
First announced in June 2013, the episode featured lesbian
mothers Susan and Cheryl, who drop off their daughter Taylor for a play date to
the surprise of Charlie’s parents, played by Leigh-Allyn Baker and Eric Allan
Kramer.
The move was hailed by former Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus last summer.
“I commend Disney for making this step into the light of
this generation,” she tweeted.
Conservative group One Million Moms is up in arms about the
episode. One of the group’s current issues listed on its website reads, “Please
send an email letter and urge Care.com to stop sponsoring the Disney Channel if
it pushes the LGBT agenda on our children during the program ‘Good Luck
Charlie.’”
The group further writes, “If ‘Good Luck Charlie’ goes
through with introducing LGBT content, then the floodgates will be opened for
all programs on the Disney Channel – a trend that will be almost impossible to
stop.”
“Good Luck Charlie” airs its final episode on Feb. 16.
