(Fox News) – The newest season of the children’s cartoon “Arthur” came big news: Mr. Ratburn got married — to a man. The 22nd premiere of the PBS Kids show aired on Monday and featured the strict, cake-loving teacher’s wedding to a chocolatier named Patrick, according to Inside Edition. The episode titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone” also featured Jane Lynch as a guest star, voicing Mr. Ratburn’s sister.
Since it first aired in 1996, “Arthur” hasn’t mentioned Mr. Ratburn’s sexuality until now, though the word “gay” wasn’t used in the episode, according to TVLine. The outlet also reported that Mr. Ratburn isn’t the first openly gay character in the “Arthur” universe. In a 2005 “Postcards from Buster” episode, the cartoon rabbit and friend of Arthur’s met children in Vermont whose mothers were lesbians, though the word “lesbian” was never said in that episode either, TVLine reported.

As a child I used to watch “Arthur” and as an adult felt it was a good wholesome cartoon for kids to watch. From now on it will be on my list of banned cartoons. I can’t believe they’d sell out to the New World Order, LGBT agenda of same sex relationships. They now try to show these as ok for kids to learn lessons from. Those who are promoting and writing these will have to answer for their grievous actions. It’s bad enough some of this is bleeding into mainstream entertainment but children’s shows are sacred and need to be pure of heart, which this is the opposite. More like poison being added to their food, which will slowly erode their minds till they become warped adults like those writing such terrible content.
