She drew recent criticism from both liberals and conservatives for "Postcards From Buster," in which the title character, an animated bunny named Buster, traveled to Vermont - a state known for recognizing same-sex civil unions. Though the focus was on farm life and maple sugaring, the episode, entitled "Sugartime," featured an actual lesbian couple.

Time to send some positive feedback folks!

It only takes a second, please send a quick note, and keep this kicked.

1. PBS can't address gay issues, but the WH can have a gay male prostitute.
Repukes coming down hard on PBS for addressing gay issues, but when it's revealed that a gay male prostitute may be on the fucking PAYROLL of the WH media office there's not a peep.

If there's an award for hypocracy, this disparity between how the PBS and Gannon/Guckert issues are handled would have to rate at the top!

3. And we want candidates for abortion to know
exactly what's happening to the unborn, but the American people are supposed to back the murder of Iraqis and the senseless deaths of our soldiers without ever seeing the maimed babies and soldiers, or knowing the true consequences of their government's policies. Hmmmmm...

2. Done.
I said thanks and wondered why anyone would WANT to make children in non-traditional families feel shameful. A good family is a good family.

5. Done!
I am emailing you in support of the decisions you've made to allow for diverse programming. I can not express how frightening this country is becoming to me, and applaud anyone who has the integrity to stand up for freedom of expression. Thank You!
