Bluey gay couple episode
‘Bluey’ Just Introduced Its First Queer Characters (Sort Of)
The 28 minute Bluey particular “The Sign” has finally dropped, and it’s complete of heartwarming (and devastating!) moments. With all the heartstring-tugging, though, there’s one moment that’s easy to miss: the show’s first mention of a lgbtq+ couple.
Warning: spoilers for the Bluey special “The Sign” ahead!
In “The Sign,” Bluey and her family deal with the heartbreak of putting their house up for sale and moving to another city. The drama starts at the end of “Ghostbasket,” when we see a For Sale sign in front of the house. In “The Sign,” we study that Bandit has gotten a higher paying profession in another city.
While a couple comes to stare at the house, Bluey’s family drives off to school and work. Once at school, Bluey asks her teacher, Calypso, why stories have happy endings. “I guess because being will give us enough sad ones,” Calypso responds.
The kids take that as a cue to distribute all the sad endings they’ve experienced in their lives. Winton, the mischievous bulldog, shares that his dad is divorce
Beloved animated children’s production Bluey has just dropped an episode revealing that one of the low recurring characters has two moms. We never see the moms, however, and the rest of the episode actually dwells on a different-sex wedding. Here’s my look at the episode and how the reveal handles things.
The Episode
The series, about a young, anthropomorphic Australian blue heeler and her family (Disney+; ABC Kids (Australia)), makes the introduction in a extraordinary 28-minute episode—far longer than the usual eight- to nine-minute ones—but it’s not the LGBTQ bring up that makes the episode special. Instead, as the show’s official website notes, the episode focuses on “the wedding of the year” between Bluey’s Uncle Rad and her godmother Frisky. The episode also deals with the news that Bluey’s family will have to sell their property and move to a new urban area, where her dad has a unused job. Bluey isn’t happy about this, not wanting to leave her residence and friends.
The uncovering of the traits with two moms comes as Bluey sits at college, sad about the upcoming move, and wonders why stories always have cheerful endings. The teac
Bluey introduces same-sex couple in 'The Sign' season finale - but almost everyone missed it
Eagle-eyed Bluey fans have noticed the beloved cartoon has introduced a queer couple for the first time.
In the season three final titled 'The Sign' some viewers noticed a subtle hint that Bluey's friend Pretzel has two mums.
A limited minutes into the episode Pretzel said: 'When my guinea pig ran away, my mums told me he might come back, but he didn't.'
The immediate plural reference to 'mums' went in and over the heads of most viewers, but not all.
Australian Bluey fan Margie raved about the inclusion of a LGBTQIA+ couple in a TikTok video, with many agreeing it was the 'one thing missing' from the show.

Popular kids show Bluey praised for introducing same-sex couple in season finale
The Australian kid’s TV exhibit Bluey has become one of the most critically acclaimed shows of its genre since its debut in 2018.
Upon Bluey’s eventual arrival worldwide on Disney+ a year later in 2019, the show became incredibly popular among both children and adults.
The accepted show details the life of Bluey, a seven-year-old blue healer, and her little sister Bingo, a five-year-old red healer, alongside a supporting cast featuring their friends and family.
The majority of the show features the two sisters getting into hijinks, playing pretend, and learning experience lessons throughout each episode’s seven-minute runtime.
Now, three seasons and over 150 episodes into its existence, Bluey has not only garnered praise for being a tremendous kid's TV show but also for its inclusivity in the final episode of season 3.
In the most recent episode of the series, the show made reference to its first same-sex couple, with a friend of Bluey's - a chihuahua named Pretzel - noting that he has two moms in an anecdote about his pet guinea
