The Disney Channel aired its first same-sex cartoon kiss this week during the animated adventure show βStar vs. The Forces of Evil.β
The subtle yet groundbreaking moment comes when the showβs characters attend a boy band concert and a diverse array of concertgoers are shown sharing kisses β including two men.
Check it out in the video below at 1:26.
The kiss is the latest in a long line of moves Disney has made to incorporate pro-LGBTQ messages in its programming, including featuring a lesbian couple on the show βGood Luck Charlieβ in 2014. The network also showcased a same-sex couple in its animated series βGravity Falls.β
The family-friendly company isn't alone: there are a number of other progressive cartoons for kids currently airing on TV, including the very queer Steven Universe.
Nice move, Disney. Keep the queer visibility for kids coming.
