The new season of the PBS cartoon "Arthur" started with the wedding of Mr. Ratburn to another man. In the episode, Mr. Ratburn got married to a chocolatier named Patrick, but the word "gay" was never used in the episode. Â
The response to the episode about Mr. Ratburn's wedding was met with lots of praise from viewers. This isn't the first time the cartoon has tackled the issue of a gay character. The show also did it in 2005 with a lesbian couple in an episode called "Postcards from Buster."Â
Do you have an issue with cartoons having gay characters? Did you get a chance to catch the episode?Â
