- From commercials tolate night programming,

there has been an influxof LGBTQ inclusivity

in entertainment.

But what happens when thetarget becomes your kids?

Shows like Arthur, Doc McStuffins,

and Hulu's animated children's series,

The Bravest Knight reveal a growing trend

to depict same gender sexuality as normal.

Here to talk more aboutthis is Walker Wildmon

with the American Family Association,

a faith-based group thatmonitors entertainment media.

Thanks so much for being with us, Walker.

We appreciate it.

- Glad to be with you.

- Well let's start with showslike Arthur, My Little Pony,

and Disney's Doc McStuffins are just a few

to include same sex couplesand transgender characters.

Why has there been such a push

to introduce these kind ofcharacters to children on TV?

- Yeah.

Well, from what I'm understanding,

the push is not comingfrom the general public.

The push here is coming from

the same old homosexual activist groups

that have been doing this for decades,

and that is trying to push

for sexually deviantbehavior in entertainment.

And it was once that you found

sexually deviant entertainmentin the late night shows,

but now, these mainstreamchannels like Disney and others

are now including homosexual characters

and transgender charactersin our children's shows.

And so this is very, very concerning.

We knew this was gonna happen.

My grandfather talkedabout this 40 years ago

when he started our ministry.

So parents really have to be diligent.

- Well even Disney.

Disney's Toy Story 4included a quick scene

where one child isdropped off by two moms.

The Gay Times praisedthe film for inclusivity.

And although it was quick,

why are these smallmoments still dangerous?

- Yeah, sure.

Any moment where ourchildren, or even ourselves,

are exposed to things thatprop up sinful behavior

such as homosexuality, even adultery

and other deviant behaviorthat takes us away

from what God's word saidis right and true and good,

any type of entertainmentthat strays us away from that

and paints sin in a positive light

such as Disney's trying to dohere, that is all dangerous.

Whether it be a five secondscene or a 30 minute scene,

it's all not good for our intake.

And so that's why the daysof cutting the television on,

leaving our childrenthere to watch kids shows

while we do the laundryor clean the dishes,

those days are gone.

We always have to be on guard

about what our children are watching.

- And Walker, I guessthe mission of the LGBTQ

is to normalize this.

If you start them young,

you know, in kindergarten or even younger,

then by the time they're teens,

they're like, "Oh yeah, that'swhat everybody does," right?

- Sure, yeah, that's exactlywhat they're trying to do.

You're spot on.

And so what we have to do,what parents have to do,

and I have three kids under two years old,

I got a set of twins and a two-year-old,

what we have to do is,the culture and the media,

they're gonna try to paintwhat they view as right

in front of our children's eyes,

but what we have to do iswe have to counter that

and we have to teach our children

and our teenagers whatis right, true, and good

no matter what the culture says

and no matter what the mediais putting on television.

And one of the basic ways to do that

is to guard our children's eyes and ears

when it comes to what they'reviewing and listening to.

- Well let's face it,

cartoons and all these kids shows,

they're saviors for parents that are busy

and they need, here, watchthis while I do that.

Should the entertainment industry

be taking some responsibilityand should we be making

more pro-family, pro-biblicalentertainment for our kids?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I think the entertainmentshould be taking note here.

And while they serve the mass public

and not everybody's a Christian,

not everybody believes theway I do, we have to all agree

that there are certainthings that are good

and then there are certainthings that are bad.

And the things that are bad,

we should not be promotingin children's shows

as, quote, normal behavior.

And one of those things is homosexuality,

transgenderism or gender dysphoria.

Those type things are not good things,

and if you actually look at the studies,

they're very bad thingsand they do very harmful,

they do a lot of harm

to the people that are affected by them

and those people need helpand we need to love on them.

But this is all aboutwhat are we gonna put

in front of our children'seyes as how they should live.

And so I would encourage every parent

to begin screening the content

before their children even watch it.

Know what your children are watching.

- Great advice.

Walker, thanks so much.

We appreciate it. God bless.
