An episode of the popular PBS children's' series "Postcards from Buster", that was dropped by the network after criticism by Education Secretary Margaret Spellings because it features a lesbian couple, will be made available on the Internet.

Family Pride Coalition, a national non-profit organization dedicated to securing equality for LGBT families, announced Monday that it will broadcast the episode on its website from March 7-13.

1. Yeah! Now, I'm happy.

This has been a thorn in my paw for a few months now.

2. Hmmm..

My 8-year-old daughter and I watched the entire episode, and you know what she thought it was about???

Having a nice vacation in Vermont and how maple syrup was made!

3. your daughter is very smart

4. Exactly - that is what it is about.

I'm proud of my kid. She has a friend who has two moms in the household. She didn't even notice anything about that concept last night. She's been taught to be supportive of all families.

Ha, and, Dwickham, I only noticed one minor reference, "...and her partner, ..," mentioned when 'Buster' was in the car and headed to the farm.

I would have approved if they'd had sixteen hundred references to different kinds of families. It was just funny to me, however, what a big deal they made out of a rather vague reference. Could have referred to a business partner for all we know. Funny how they are just looking to jump on something (the radical religious right).
