DSTV will NOT show Nickelodeon’s “gay parenting” cartoon to Nigerian viewers
Kiddies channel Nickelodeon says episodes of new cartoon series “The Loud House” featuring a same sex couple will not air on its channels in Nigeria.
The cartoon series features Lincoln, the only boy of a family of thirteen. Clyde McBride, the boy’s best friend, has two dads.
Most Africans would hope Clyde would’ve had a mom and a dad, not gay parents.
The series is being praised in some parts of the world but have been condemned in most parts of Africa where gay marriage is so opposed it is outlawed.
One of such countries is Nigeria. Many Nigerian parents were shocked to hear the cartoon may be shown in their parts of the world. Some even threatened to boycott DSTV, which hosts Nickelodeon, should that happen.
Well, it’s not going to happen.
Nickelodeon said is a statement the “gay parenting” episodes of “The Loud House” will not air in sub-Saharan Africa.
“As a global brand entertaining audiences around the world, Nickelodeon strives to ensure that content respects the varying traditions and the cultural sensitivity in each market,” the statement said..
