For the first time in the show's nearly two-decade long run, Peppa Pig has included a same-sex couple!

The moment comes during the episode entitled "Families," which aired on Britain's Channel 5 on September 6th. The short scene happens when Peppa's classmate, Penny Polar Bear, discusses her family during the school day. 

"I'm Penny Polar Bear," she says, as she draws a photo of her two mothers in dresses. "I live with my mommy and my other mommy. One mommy is a doctor and one mommy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti."

Peppa Pig isn't the first animated series to recently include same-sex couples. Arthur featured a gay wedding in 2019 when cake-loving teacher Mr. Ratburn got married to his longtime partner.
