Chris Nee and Doc McStuffins

Goodbye, Doc McStuffins (and Thank You, Chris Nee)!

The award-winning Disney Junior show Doc McStuffins ran its last new episode on Saturday after eight years on the air. It won much praise for offering the positive role model of a young Black girl who was a doctor—and for a 2017 episode that was the channel’s first to show a two-mom family. Its creator and executive producer, Chris Nee, is also a lesbian mom herself.

Modern Family

Goodbye and Thank You, “Modern Family”

ABC’s Modern Family ended this week after 11 seasons. When it premiered in 2009, during the height of the marriage equality battle in the U.S., the two gay dads in its ensemble cast gave many viewers their first positive, ongoing, on-screen images of same-sex parents.

The Academy Award-winning songwriters behind Disney’s Frozen announced recently that they are working on Universal Pictures’ movie musical adaptation of The Prince and the Dressmaker, Jen Wang’s award-winning graphic novel about a genderqueer prince. And 20th Century Fox is adapting the Goldie Vance comic series, which stars a queer protagonist, into a film—making this a good time to assess the state of LGBTQ representation in children’s film and television.

Books - SNL - RuPaul

Did You Catch All the Queer Young Adult Books in RuPaul’s SNL Skit?

You may already have seen RuPaul’s skit on last week’s Saturday Night Live, in which he critiques children’s books like the drag queens critique each other on RuPaul’s Drag Race—but did you catch all of the real, contemporary LGBTQ-inclusive young adult books on the shelves of the set?
