‘Why is this necessary?’: Australian cartoon Bluey showcases same-sex couple

Sky News host Liz Storer has questioned why the Australian cartoon show Bluey showcased a same-sex couple in its latest season. The well-loved cartoon showcased a brief mention of a lesbian couple in the final episode of its third season. “This is how they are ensuring that the way you think about these things, the way I consider these matters is going to be extinct within the space of a single generation,” she said. “Remember it was March 2022 when one of the big Disney directors came out and said ‘we vow that by the end of this year – 50 per cent of our main characters … will be LGBTIQ and or a racial minority. “This is very, very deliberate because when you grow up in a culture that normalises these things, it is normalised.”
