Talk:Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone/@comment-27424687-20190521013530

I don't think there's anything wrong with gay characters in a kids' show, but how they presented it here seemed a bit forced in my opninion. Normally when they tackle a serious subject on Arthur, like cancer or disabilities, they explain the issue in detail so kids who don't about it yet will understand. They don't do that here. Instead it's just slapped on at the last minute and not explained at all. Make no mistake, kids will question it even if they don't think it's a bad thing. I didn't actually know what being gay was until I was 13 and didn't properly understand it for a while, not because I thought it was bad, but because I wasn't familiar with the subject. If you're going to educate kids about LGBT stuff, actually educate them about it instead of "Oh yeah, Ratburn is gay now. Don't question it."
