I still stand by that.
“Thank you for bringing in woke fascism into a nice childhood show,” a fan suggested. Nevertheless, the producers seem to be playing it safe, tossing out an in-passing mention that LGBTQ people exist but never showing them, and doing so in an episode that centers a straight wedding, a hefty counterbalance to the speck of queerness. But he didn’t.” The class gives a sympathetic “Awww.”
That’s the extent of the reference.
I hope that the moment of representation in Bluey is only a start for the series, and it goes on to depict Pretzel and his two moms in many future episodes, along with other LGBTQ characters. Right-wing commentators and trollish voices accused “Bluey” of going woke. After “The Sign” aired in April 2024, Bluey’s producers quickly quashed rumors that it was a series finale.
They’re basically saying that it’s wrong to even acknowledge that some kids have LGBTQ parents.
The show should instead be commended for taking this step. I’m so sick and tired of people trying to come after kids and show this shit to children.
“It is the question on everybody’s lips,” producer Sam Moor told the BBC. “No, it is not the end for Bluey.
Beloved animated children’s show Bluey has just dropped an episode revealing that one of the minor recurring characters has two moms. It's really one of those subtle ones I feel like a lot of people will miss. We finally have an LGBTQIA+ rep in Bluey, like I always wanted. Whether it is true or not is a completely separate question, but Bluey seemingly made an important move toward silencing the critics by introducing the series’ first same-sex couple.
Namely, the special extended episode “The Sign”, while focusing on Bluey moving house, also has Pretzel, one of the supporting characters from the series, mention that he has two mothers, which confirms that his parents are a lesbian couple, i.e., an LGBTQ+ couple.
Here’s my look at the episode and how the show handles things.
The Episode
The series, about a young, anthropomorphic Australian blue heeler and her family (Disney+; ABC Kids (Australia)), makes the introduction in a special 28-minute episode—far longer than the usual eight- to nine-minute ones—but it’s not the LGBTQ mention that makes the episode special.
