Angel Haze (?) - not sure if I should do this one because there is a lot of fighting in the talk page over their pronouns (they're pronoun neutral). The article currently has no pronouns used at all, but instead opts for their last name. The article is flagged for a need to be rewritten due to it being poorly sourced and needing to comply to wikipedia's quality standards.

Early LGBT children's tv
[edit]Early children's programming addressing LGBT-related subject matter includes two episodes of CBS Schoolbreak Special. "What If I'm Gay?" originally aired on March 31, 1987. The episode told the story of a teenage boy struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. It was nominated for three Daytime Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Direction in Children's Programming. The 1993 episode "Other Mothers" featured a boy who was afraid that his friends would think he was gay because he has two mothers. The episode was nominated for five Daytime Emmys, winning for Outstanding Writing in a Children's Special, Outstanding Performer in a Children's Special (Justin Whalin) and Outstanding Sound Mixing in a Children's Special. In 1986, HBO broadcast The Truth About Alex, which told the story of a high school athlete who discovers that his best friend Alex is gay.
LGBT representation on Nickelodeon
[edit]On June 18, 2002, children's cable network Nickelodeon ran a program entitled Nick News Special Edition: My Family Is Different. Produced by Linda Ellerbee's Lucky Duck Productions and hosted by Ellerbee, My Family Is Different featured children of gay and lesbian parents talking with children from households that oppose equal rights for gay and lesbian families. This program was subject to much criticism from Christian organizations, such as the Washington-based Traditional Values Coalition, who believed the program pushed a "pro-homosexual agenda" and was not suitable for children. [1] Another organization that opposed this episode was the Parents Television Council who claimed they had no problem with same-sex parents but did not think it was appropriate for Nickelodeon's young target audience.
In 2014, The Legend of Korra became the first western children's animation series to not only feature major LGBT characters, but also a lead LGBT character.[2]
Nickelodeon's The Loud House debuted they're first bi-racial gay couple on July 20th, 2016. Announcement of these characters, Harold and Howard McBride, was met with "overwhelmingly positive reaction." [3]
LGBT representation on PBS
[edit]In 2005, PBS planned to release an episode of the children's series Postcards from Buster in which the animated bunny visits the children of two lesbian couples. When education secretary Margaret Spellings stated disapproval of the planned episode, PBS withdrew plans for airing. Spellings believed the episode to be inappropriate for children as well as a misuse of governmental funding that the show had received. [4] Lisa Reilly (WGBH Member Services), stands by the episode stating that, "We believe, as do WGBH's educational advisors on this series, that the program is appropriate for our audience and fits the series' mission to introduce children to the rich and varied cultures that make up the United States, including kids living in a wide range of family structures." [5] Brigid Sullivan, vice president of WGBH cited that over the course of 40 episodes, the show had represented many different family structures and cultures, including Mormons, Orthodox Jews, Christians, and Muslim families. She said that this represented that the program was meant "to include, not to exclude, anyone who is part of our society, and for children to see a reflection of themselves on TV is an important part of their development." [6]
LGBT representation on Cartoon Network
[edit]In 2016, Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe, spoke about her desire to create an LGBTQ show that was accessible to young children.
LGBT representation on Disney
[edit]In 2017 Disney the creators of Andi Mack had the character Cyrus played by Joshua Rush come out as gay in the episode titled Hey, Who Wants Pizza? which was the first episode of season 2.
Independent LGBT children's programming
[edit]In September 2007 Dottie's Magic Pockets became the first available show for children in gay and lesbian families.
