AL Public Television Refuses to Show 'Arthur' Episode

So let me get this right. These motherfuckers don't want parents to have to explain to their child about two male characters (not human) being in love and wanting to marry, but they will quite openly force a female child who is not much older than the age range this show is aimed toward to have a baby if she's raped by a man. Seems to me explaining love is a helluvalot easier than explaining all the pain and discomfort a little girl who just started her monthly cycle will have while she's pregnant because mommy and daddy are against abortion.

Alabama Public Television chose not to air PBS’s Arthur episode that included a same-sex marriage.

In the episode, which aired nationwide May 13, Arthur and his friends attend their beloved teacher Mr. Ratburn’s nuptials to his partner.

APT preempted the episode by showing a re-run of Arthur.

Mike Mckenzie, director of programming at APT, said APT was notified by WGBH and PBS in mid-April about the episode titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone” and decided to show a re-run. Mckenzie said APT has no plans to air the episode at a later date.
