Peppa Pig Celebrated Pride Month On Instagram—And Homophobic Trolls Predictably Lost It

Conservatives were up in arms over Peppa Pig celebrating Pride month.

The official Instagram page for the animated series kicked off the LGBTQ+ celebration with a post, saying:

"🌈 Happy Pride Month 🌈 Here’s to celebrating love.❤"

The accompanying image featured the titular female piglet with her friends standing in front of a rainbow with the words "Happy Pride." The group included Penny Polar Bear, a character introduced as having two mothers.

Homophobic trolls blasted the post. It follows a trend among brands and companies like Target and Walmart honoring Pride and subsequently facing backlash from anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives.

Here is the post from Peppa Pig's Instagram page.

Conservatives who feared their kids were being indoctrinated by a cartoon celebrating love aired their grievances.

LGBTQ+ families, however, shared praises for the character's inclusive and supportive efforts.

Some were more disturbed by the hateful comments in the thread than the post.

It's a shame normalizing love receives so much backlash.

Thank you for your support, Peppa!
