Disney Introduces Groundbreaking Interracial Lesbian Couple

Disney has broken new ground by introducing a multiracial, two-mom family, with the characters voiced by lesbian actors.

The Daily Dot reports that a recent episode of the Disney show "Doc McStuffins" features Wanda Sykes and Portia de Rossi as the voices of doll-like lesbian moms who help their kids deal with the aftermath of an "earthquake" that shakes up their house.

The mothers, who are clearly shown to be in a relationship, learn tips from Doc McStuffins on what to do in an emergency to protect their family. The mother's relationship is shown without comment, and GLAAD has already hailed the scene for its "thoughtfulness and inclusive nature," and how it paves the way for future images of queer interracial relationships on TV.

"Children like mine deserve the chance to see their families reflected on TV, and this episode does just that in a beautiful and positive way," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. "Shows like this reflect our real world, and today that includes the many children being raised by gay and lesbian parents who are all going to celebrate this story."

This isn't Disney's first step with positive representations of the LGBTQ community. An earlier episode of the animated series "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" featured Disney's first gay kiss. Disney also showcased their first lesbian couple on "Good Luck Charlie," making their relationship central to an episode within the series.
