Widespread praise as Peppa Pig introduces show’s first ever same-sex couple

Children’s television programme Peppa Pig has received a fair amount of praise after introducing its first-ever same-sex couple.

Running since 2004, Peppa Pig has become a cultural phenomenon for its appeal towards children & families. The series follows protagonist Peppa and a host of beloved cast & crew and now, viewers have been throwing praise at the show for the introduction of a same-sex couple.

The couple was introduced when character Penny Polar Bear was talking about her family & drew a sketch of two female polar bears before being shown on screen later in the episode. “I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mummy and my other mummy”, the characters says. “One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti.”
