    When I read the 2016 article, “Children’s TV Has a Representation Problem” by current writer and filmmaker for Huffington Post Will Bryson, I had many thoughts on what he was saying. I agree with his statement that when two same-sex characters trying to have some type of romantic relationship in kids TV the networks automatically see this relationship as “salacious and inappropriate” like Bryson says.

My cousin watches the show Steven Universe…

When kids see his or her favorite actor and or actress saying and doing those things, the kids will do and say what the actor/actress does because they are his or her role models.
