The beloved British cartoon "Peppa Pig" has introduced its first LGBTQ characters.
The classic children's program has been on the air for 18 years, and this is the first time they have introduced a same-sex couple.
The characters are polar bears and appear in an episode called "Families."
In the episode, while at a playgroup with her friends, Young Penny Polar Bear draws a picture of her parents and explains, "I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a Doctor, and my other mummy cooks spaghetti."
The decision to include a same-sex couple comes a few years after the show was petitioned to show more same-sex couples. The petition garnered more than 25 thousand signatures.
Meet Penny Polar Bear and her family in the scene below.
