US Christians and conservatives on a war footing over the last episode of a famous cartoon broadcast in 83 Countries of the world.
In the United States and in Canada Christians and conservative politicians are on a war footing over this happened during the last episode of a famous cartoon aimed at under 8 English-speaking years.
“Arthur“, the Canadian-American educational animated series, designed for children come on 4 to 8 years (which should be encouraged to read, given that the cartoon is based on the adventure books of Marc Brown), the longest-lived of all United States, after i Simpsons, began his twenty-second season with the “marriage” to the surprise of maestro Ratburn with another male.
The series of Pbs (Public Broadcasting Service), set in the fictional US town of Elwood City, revolves around the lives of Arthur Read, an eight-year-old anthropomorphic aardvark, his friends, his family and their daily interactions e, since its debut (il 7 October 1996), the cartoon broadcast 239 half-hour episodes (each episode tells two stories of 11 minutes completely independent of each other).
To the animated series (followed only in the USA by 10 millions of viewers weekly) he proposed in his latest episode lo clearance of homosexual marriage for children of this age group. In fact, during the episode, yes they see Arthur, Francine, Buster and Muffy finding out their third grade teacher, il signor Ratburn, he got engaged. But the animal friends are surprised to find out that on the wedding day, Mr Ratburn walks down the corridor arm in arm with another male aardvark, Patrick, a local chocolatier. While the two animated creatures walk down the corridor, all the guests smile to celebrate the same-sex wedding. Afterwards, students eat cake, which was shown earlier in the episode, with two toppers that look like Mr. Ratburn e Patrick.
Maria Vera Whelan, senior director in marketing, communication and social media for children's media and education at PBS, ha declared al New York Times that PBS Kids programs are “designed to reflect the diversity of communities across the nation. We believe it's important to represent the diverse range of adults in the lives of children who watch PBS Kids every day“.
The episode drew praise from the organizations Lgbt, and was widely celebrated on social media, even with various rainbow emoji. Many, Instead, have expressed dismay at the decision to include a same-sex wedding in a children's television programme.
Cathy Ruse, Senior Fellow per i “Legal Studies” of the Family Research Council, said a The Christian Post, That “Americans have not asked for a redefinition of marriage, it was imposed on them by activist judges, who overturned tens of millions of votes calling for marriage to be maintained as a man-woman institution. Gay activists, not happy with this, they now want to change our beliefs. Kids aren't asking for their cartoon characters to be gay, but entertainment industry activists are forcing them to do so“. The woman concluded by explaining that entertainment for children, “it is no longer based on a Judeo-Christian value system, but on political initiatives of left-wing political interest groups. Now more than ever, parents need to be careful about the media their children consume. Parents trust shows made for children, and the show's creators are taking advantage of their trust“.
They are Facebook the evangelist Franklin Graham said the PBS series clearly promotes the LGBT agenda. “PBS receives government funding: why our government should fund programs that promote behavior that the Bible says is sinful?“, Graham asked. “I don't want my tax dollars going that way. I hope everyone stands up and makes it clear to PBS that they do not want to see this type of programming that seeks to influence the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren.“.
L’American Family Association launched a petition to ask PBS to withdraw the episode, arguing that “discussion of controversial topics and lifestyle choices should be left to parents“.
The former White House aide Sebastian Gorka during his radio show “America First” ha explained than this “it is a war on our culture. Civil society does not exist, friendship doesn't exist, family doesn't exist, for these there is only permanent revolution“.
In the opinion of the US and Canadian Catholic world, the last episode of “Arthur” marks a further victory for LGBT activists who, for some time, they try to insert the “representation of homosexual marriages” in beloved children's shows, given that in recent years same-sex relationships have achieved excessive visibility in all kinds of programs, and not just those for children.
