For the first time in the show’s 51-year history, Sesame Street featured two gay, married dads in the June 16 episode entitled, “Family Day.”
This episode of the iconic children’s television program shows relatives gathering together, and Big Bird’s “Granny Bird” surprises him with a visit.
Nina, played by Suki Lopez, invites her family to the gathering and introduces her brother, his husband and their daughter.
“Okay, everybody, everybody, I want you to meet my brother Dave, his husband Frank, and my sobrina [niece], Mia.”
