The long-running pre-school cartoon has introduced Penny Polar Bear with her two mummies
Popular children's cartoon Peppa Pig has been entertaining little ones for almost 20 years, with millions tuning in to watch the everyday adventures of Peppa, George and their parents Mummy and Daddy Pig.
That doesn't always translate in the programmes we watch on TV though, particularly those aimed at children. So it was somewhat of a landmark moment when just last week Peppa Pig introduced its first same-sex couple. Rather than going down the surrogacy route, or the mums conceiving via sperm donation, with the help of a home fertilisation kit, the four decided to go ahead as one big family.
"We all have a lot of different life experiences and a lot of love to give to a child which we have very much found since having Willow. She learns so much from all of us and is a very happy and confident little girl, which is most important to us, rather than what views people may have." "We are aware that when doing articles like this, there will always be people who judge and discriminate and say unkind things. This kind of prejudice and comments just emphasise the need for Pride, as we have come a long way, but there is still a massive difference to make and Willow will be the future of the fight."
The couple say representation of same-sex couples and parents has improved over recent years, but feel 'there is still a long way to go'. "Educating children from an early age about equality, diversity and inclusivity is paramount to make changes for future generations."
