AFA's "One Million Moms" Angry At Nickelodeon Over... You Guessed It...

The Christian watchdog group One Million Moms is alerting all parents on Nickelodeon's animated show "The Loud House," since it featured a married same-sex couple in the episode "Overnight Success," which was aired on July 20.

One Million Moms thinks it's unfortunate how children are now being exposed to same-sex marriage on a network that is designed just for kids.

"Just because something may be legal or because some are choosing a lifestyle doesn't make it morally correct. Nickelodeon should stick to entertaining instead of pushing an agenda. Nickelodeon has decided to be politically correct instead of providing family-friendly programming," the group writes on its website.

Kids face dangers when they are exposed to same-sex marriages this early. One Million Moms says Nickelodeon is forcing "a premature discussion on sexual orientation that is completely uncalled for."

The group hopes conservative families would press Nickelodeon to avoid controversial topics that are beyond children's comprehension, and stick to wholesome entertainment.

'"Just because something may be legal or because some are choosing a lifestyle doesn't make it morally correct. Nickelodeon should stick to entertaining instead of pushing an agenda."

If just showing a married gay couple is "pushing an agenda", then wouldn't it just be "pushing" a different "agenda" to intentionally only show straight couples and avoid gay couples?

kids to content that many kids shows from the past never did. Lucky this group wasn't around for the Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead days.

My kids' uncles are in same sex marriage and my kids really don't care. They just love their uncles. It is not an issue with kids unless their parents make it an issue. Kids in conservative families might be uncomfortable with it because that is what they have been taught by their parents.

And that's really the problem.

They're afraid if no one teaches their kids to hate, then they won't hate the same people their parents hate.

It's that simple. And it's that sad.

I seem to remember kids being somewhat curious about things, but never in a negative, hurtful way. It's the parents, forced to "explain out of the ordinary" things like same sex couples or race, or whatever that inserts the bigotry into the kids.

I mean, a young white kid might ask why is that kid so dark? It's up to the parents to answer that it's just his skin tone, it's perfectly normal, treat him like you would anybody else. It takes asshole parents to spout the old don't ask and don't play with him crap.

Bigotry is taught, not innate.
