TAYLOR KNIGHT: AFTER FIFTY ONE YEARS ON AIR.

IS THAT A PRIDE FLAG FLYING OVER SESAME STREET?

FOR THE FIRST TIME, A GAY FAMILY WILL BE LIVING NEXT DOOR TO BIG BIRD, ELMO AND THE REST OF THE GANG. 

MEET DAVE, FRANK AND MIA –  TWO GAY DADS AND A  DAUGTHER.

THEY CAME TO SUNNY STREET ON A FAMILY VISIT TO SEE NINA, DAVE’S SISTER.

THE SHOW HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISSUES 

LIKE RACE,AUTISM AND ADDICTION. 

EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE SHOW INTRODUCED AFRICAN AMERICAN MUPPETS.

BUT ALAN MURAOKA, ACTOR AND CO DIRECTOR SAID THERE’S BEEN A LACK OF REPRESENTATION FROM THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

THE NEW FAMILY  RECEIVED MIXED RESPONSES ON SOCIAL MEDIA 

SOME PEOPLE CELEBRATED THE NEW ADDITIONS WHILE OTHERS QUESTIONS IF THE SHOW SHOULD DISCUSS SOCIAL ISSUES WITH CHILDREN. 

DO YOU THINK SOCIAL ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ON CHILDREN SHOWS?
