"As a gay man who grew up wh no visible role mols of gay relatnships my muny or entertament ntent, I am grateful that this reprentatn is happeng on Nickeloon, moved by the difference that is surely makg the mds and hearts of children, and grateful to have been a part of this slow but important change, " Dickie told PRIDE.

It was clear that many Amerins were still eply unfortable wh the ia of treatg gay upl as equals. Not only that, but viewers were particularly taken by the gay uple.
That was thanks to a clever strategy: In orr to ease nservative viewers to watchg, the wrers liberately foced early storyl on Mch and Cam’s parentg, rather than on any gay issu. Plots tend to be about takg their dghter to dayre and a pediatrician, or buyg diapers—thgs that would be relatable to gay or straight dienc.
The issue of physil affectn beme a particular stickg pot among gay viewers.
