Yes, and if they do, the characters have to be something else besides the stereotype. Both gay and lesbian characters have to be shown as normal people in all ways but preference, and that this is ok.
Yeah, that'd be cool. Specifically, I think there needs to be more lesbian ones. Cartoons have kind of overdone the use of gay males because they can make fun of the stereotypes.

yeah, it pees me off when they do that. :/ they potray every gay guy to be like that. :(
Well I hate to even mention this, but I've seen very negative lesbian stereotypes in cartoons as well. They tend to make them all look masculine and very unattractive. Which I think we all know is not the case. We need characters that are not stereotypes all across the board. Positive images to show to a younger audience. Plus I think there should be a lot more mention of transgender individuals as well.
Sure. :D
That may be pretty effective on the younger people's opinion of the homosexual community... because 12-15 are watching a lot of cartoons these days. :/
The answer is obvious. Definately. The reason that there is not.....to much hate and contreversy over the matter. If I had my way I would make more gay programming. Isnt this supposed to be the land of the free? and isnt equality our strive? I mean anime dubbers wont even dub Yaoi anime because there is homosexuality in them! My opinoin is that homo love is sometimes more pure then a man-womamn love! I mean you hear of men and woman breaking up and divorcing all the time, but do you ever hear that of homosexuals? NO. Why? because of the fact that they are teased and had to face the fear of being harrassed to announce that they love the one of their choice. That is true love. and YES there should be more of this on the television!
YES.
People try to avoid the whole gay thing with kids because they think it's too sexual, but that really doesn't make any sense if you think about it. I think there's already a few gay characters in cartoons, but it's only implied. For example, I have the STRONG suspicion that Spongebob is gay...
But really, learning to accept something or not starts young, and if kids learn early that homosexuality is okay, then tomorrow will be a safer place for LGBTs.
Yes, There Should Be More Gay *American* Cartoons, But Since Americans Aren't Very Sensitive With Thier Programing, I Don't Think It'll Happen T.T But I Do Feel That Children Should Be Exposed To These Kind Of Things ^^
But It Will Have To Be In A Realistic Way
*Examples*
1.They Will Have To Have Main Characters That Are Truely In Love *And Not Just Out For Sex* To Show That Love Is Love
2.If They Are Just OUt For Sex, They Need To Show That It's Wrong AND That Hetero Dose It Sometimes Too!
3.They MUST Portrait The Gay Characters As Normal Humans, But Still Show That There Will Be People To Make Fun Of Them And Show That It's Wrong To Make Fun!
THAT Is My Ideal Gay Cartoon!
Also, I Recomend Yaoi To Any Gay Fan! This Is My Favorite Yaoi! It's Gravitation And It Has ALL Of The Qualities I Just Mentioned! I Stongly Segest This To ANY CHILD * I Don't Care What The Ratings Say*
I couldn't agree more with you on that one!There is just NOT ENOUGH gay cartoons or animation at all which I find rather surprising myself!I have tried to find any Destiel or Merthur or Brolin gay cartoons yet UNSUCCESFULLY!There should be MORE of those!!

Actually,I was referring not so much to ordinary gay cartoons on TV but more in a form of the ADULTS ONLY gay cartoons/animations on the Web instead.It is surprising there is NO Destiel,Merthur or Brolin 18+gay cartoons available even on Gay Cartoon Tube!
