First it was SpongeBob SquarePants, now its an animated series on PBS that's being assailed by the right for gay content - and this time the bashing is coming directly from the Bush administration.

The nation’s new education secretary denounced PBS on Tuesday for spending public money on a cartoon with lesbian characters, saying many parents would not want children exposed to such lifestyles.

The not-yet-aired episode of “Postcards From Buster” shows the title character, an animated bunny named Buster, on a trip to Vermont — a state known for recognizing same-sex civil unions. The episode features two lesbian couples, although the focus is on farm life and maple sugaring.


and how do we know that they're lesbians--what are they doing that shows that they're lesbians?????

and for gods' sake--it's a cartoon!
