Disney Channel made a bold move because they are now the first children-targeted television network to feature a same-sex couple in an episode of Good Luck Charlie.
The situation that brought this up was that The Duncan's youngest child, Charlie, was going to have a playdate with her friend Taylor. Amy, the mother in the show, said to Bob that she met Taylor's mother Susan and that she was very nice. Bob proceeded to say that he also met her mother but he could have sworn her name was Cheryl. Coincidentally, the doorbell rings and both Amy and Bob go to answer the door and two women are there. They introduce themselves as Susan and Cheryl, and that led Bob and Amy to understand that "Ohhh Taylor has two moms". There were no negative or odd reactions to the lesbian couple, it was treated as a natural introduction.
This is obviously a very touchy subject, but what are your guys' opinion on this? Do you think Disney was bold and smart for doing this, do you think that It's too early for children to be exposed to something like this during early development, or do you think Disney was totally in the wrong?
Here's the video if you want to see it for yourself:
