They really, really don't. They cannot even fathom what it would've been like for a *presbyterian minister* to be openly queer, and be on tv. People would've burned him in effigy. Elton John came out as bi in Playboy in 1976 - NO ONE DID THIS. I could list all the things that happened to him as a result, but the point is, coming out was not a thing then unless you wanted to be hounded by people, fear for your life, and possibly under investigation by the police.

I think people often have good intentions but Tumblr is a) largely a circlejerk and b) a very limited perspective on anything that has historical context.

One branch of the Presbyterian church approved ordination of LGBTQ people at the local level in 2011.

People born into a world where Modern Family, the Real O'Neal's, The Fosters, The Legend of Korra, and gay Doctor Who characters exist don't really have the experience of gay themes being considered inappropriate for children. In the late 90s, there were openly gay characters and actors but all on shows aimed at adults/older teens. Because no matter how accepting people were becoming of gayness, it was still seen as an adult topic.

A children's show wouldn't touch the concept even that "recently".
