Alabama Public Television chose not to air PBS' recent "Arthur" episode that featured a same-sex marriage.

During the animated series' 22nd season premiere, titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone," Arthur's third-grade teacher, Mr. Ratburn, marries Patrick, a chocolatier, at a wedding attended by his students Arthur, Francine, Buster and Muffy. It aired May 13.

Mike McKenzie, director of programming at APT, told NBC News on Monday that PBS sent a message to stations in mid-April alerting them "to possible viewer concerns about the content of the program." After he and others at APT viewed the episode, they decided not to broadcast it and showed a rerun instead.

1. Does this mean.....

Could it be that Alabama never got to see the Fox Noise town hall with Pete Buttigieg either? There was, after, a REAL LIFE man married to another man.

This remnids me of that little corner of the former East Germany where western broadcasts in German couldn't be received. It was the part of East Germany with the greatest percentage of supporters for the regime. Of course, if you have no other source of media information.......

2. It wouldn't surprise me.

The world is changing and it seems there are some in positions in that state that are trying to hold back the change.
