The Disney Channel introduces its first lesbian couple in the tv show 'Good Luck Charlie.' A spokesperson at the Disney Channel said that the episode in which the same-sex couple is featured in was "developed to be relevant to kids and families around the world and to reflect themes of diversityand inclusiveness."
TV Guide: In the storyline, parents Amy and Bob Duncan (Leigh-Allyn Baker and Eric Allan Kramer) set up a playdate for preschooler Charlie (Mia Talerico) and one of her new friends. When the kid arrives, the Duncans learn that Charlie's pal has two moms. That's fine, but the potential new friendship is put to the test as one mom chats with Amy, and the other is stuck listening to Bob's dull stories.
Right-wing and conservative groups have put pressure and condemned the Disney Channel for its decision to feature a same-sex couple on their network; Disney Channel has not yet responded to any opposition as of yet.
