"
Peppa Pig’s first same-sex couple, a pair of lesbian polar bears, were
recently introduced after a petition to include a same-sex family received
nearly 24,000 signatures.
Children’s television has often been a place to push the boundaries of diverse
representations onscreen. In particular, Australian children’s TV has been a
global leader in screen diversity, including gender and queer representation.
Emmy-winning Australian series
First Day (2020-22) tells the story of a
transgender girl starting high school.
Another Emmy-winner,
Hardball (2019-21) includes gay dads for one of the lead
characters.
Even recent updates to
The Wiggles’ line-up has placed a greater emphasis on
gender diversity, including adding a non-binary unicorn."
