LGBT children's programming
- LGBT children's programming
According to the 2000 US Census, one-third of female partner households and one-fifth of male partner households in America have children. [ [http://www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html US Census Bureau 2000] ] However, resistance to LGBT representation continues in children's programming.
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.

In 2005, an episode of the children's series "Postcards from Buster" in which the animated bunny visits the children of two lesbian couples, raised controversy and PBS announced it would not distribute the episode.

In September 2007 "Dottie's Magic Pockets" became the first available show for children in gay and lesbian families. [ [http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/09/26/pink_pea/ American Public Media's Marketplace 2007] ]
