Adults these days have grown accustomed to seeing a higher percentage of gay and transgender characters in their entertainment than are actually represented in the population. But few people expect to find them in shows for kids so young they haven’t even headed off to kindergarten yet.
GLAAD has long had a Hollywood lobbying arm that consults with networks and studios on how to work LGBTQ characters into storylines, and productions for children are no exception. The advocacy group’s efforts, combined with general social pressure, are paying major dividends, even in series for the littlest audiences.
