I know this is gonna sound kind of uptight....I'm actually not too fond of sexuality brought into children's cartoons. I don't think kids should be developing boyfriend/girlfriend relationships at young ages like that. Regardless of sexual prefreences.
Take this video for example, "High five for first kiss (original)" I'm sure most of you have seen it by now. If you haven't here's a link.

I know, what your thinking, they're just little kids, its innocent, and I understand that.
Regardless, is it so wrong for me to think that children should be out making friends and having fun rather than trying to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Is it wrong for me to think that close relationships like that, should only begin in a persons older years in highschool or something, when teens discover their true attraction to Boys/Girls?
Let me tell you this. Why do people resent these new aray of teen popstars? EG: Justin Bieber, Devon fox etc. Well one reason I can think of is that they are ridiculous. You know why? Because they sing about issues with love, taking their so called "girlfriends/boyfriends" around the world, wanting to kiss them, doing nothing but fantasising about them....And when people here these kids say these things they want to scream out....YOUR 12 YEARS OLD! WHAT IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT "LOVE" and "RELATIONSHIPS"?......
Personally I reckon its the same sort of situation and besides, I really don't think kids are ACTUALLY having crushes...I think its more from what they hear from the media, what they see from adults and stuff. Children want to be grown up don't they? Disney says that a princess needs a prince so thats what little girls will do!
Do you understand my point?
Oh lol and about the issue, I really don't care if homosexuality was brought into cartoons, but I would rather it be that there was no sexuality (homo or hetro), or any "I love him or her" involved in something like cartoons.
Anyway thats just my opinion, there's no need to flame me for it or say that you think otherwise. LOL I know not everyone is going to agree for goodness sake
