New Openly Lesbian Ponies Being Introduced To Popular Kid’s Show

WATCH: Vice President Mike Pence On Pride Flag At Embassies

I’ve been pretty clear on my stance on homosexuality: I legitimately don’t care. It doesn’t affect me, and as I value liberty and personal choice, I would never try to impose an opinion on something that doesn’t affect me, or hurt others. I hope everyone finds happiness.

I don’t care who you want to love or be married to. That’s your business, not mine.

What could be my business, however, is what my (future) children are learning. My opinion? I don’t need my kids learning about sexuality of any sort from what is supposed to be an innocent children’s cartoon about friendship and ponies.

Apparently, the creators of a popular kids show think Lesbian Ponies are something that needs to happen.

According to the Blaze:

The children’s show ‘My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’ on Discovery Family Channel will be introducing a new lesbian couple .. of ponies.. in an episode airing the week of June 16, one of the show’s writers announced.

Lesbian ponies?

Why is this a thing?

The episode “The Last Crusade” will feature ponies Aunt Holiday and Auntie Loft, and writer Michael Vogel tweeted about the TV premier of the two characters, relating the moment to Pride Month.

Aaaalrighty then.

Daily Wire’s Paul Bois points out that in an interview with Buzzfeed, Vogel, who is gay, stated that “diversity and representation” are his top concern in writing kid’s shows.

“Diversity and representation are important for kids for so many reasons, and it’s my first priority on everything I work on,” Vogel told Buzzfeed. “‘My Little Pony’ has always been about friendship and accepting people (or ponies) that are different from you. So it just felt like something important to do.”

Vogel has, in the past, Tweeted about LGBT actvism, as well as on the topic of Christians and Christianity, and that came up again after the news about the episode got around social media.

The writer is expressly framing the depiction of the characters in terms of activism, and as an effort to advance the ideals and values he holds. That is important to note, because when anyone who does object says so, they’ll be characterized as paranoid for suggesting it’s a form of activism, despite the fact that the writer intends it to be so and treats it as such himself.

It’s his show. He can do what he wants with it. Parents can decide if they want their kids to watch it or not. It is what it is. My question, however, is how well it would go over if a popular children’s show decided to handle ‘Conservative’ values.

Would the media ignore that as their “choice?”

I doubt it.
