Homosexual oriented persons appearing in cartoons appealing to children I think is fine, unless they are reinforcing homosexual stereotypes of so called "flaming gays".
Just because a person is gay does not by default make them a perverted deviant as many people think homosexuals HAVE to be.
Notable homosexual characters in kids shows (in my theory) are TinkyWinky - Tellatubbies, Team Rocket James - Pokemon, Sailor Venus *shifty eyes* - Sailor Moon
Bottom line in my opinion, Homosexuals depicted as normal people who can be role models OK, homosexuals depicted as stereotypes who are decidedly different from other characters "BCUZ IM GAY PENIS PENIS PENIS I LIEk PENIS" is neither beneficial to the child audience or the immage of the the homosexual community.
