Not a show, but one of the characters from the kids movie ParaNorman was gay without stereotyping. And it was a very nice swerve, too.

Mr. Simmons from Hey Arnold! Craig Bartlett said so during an AOL chat. There was an episode I vaguely remember where they were at his house and his partner was having dinner with him. I honestly think that is the closest we can get For some reason people are tolerant and open enough right now for gay jokes and mentions on kids shows. But if there was any characters on kids show that said "I am gay" ,there would probably be a uproar of moms. Hell,i think there was a Adventure Time podcast that was closed because the guy brought up the possibility of Marceline-PB being a couple.Anyway whitout getting into politics.I think it will be hard to find one .

That's the manga, the cartoon version is a flamer Didn't he kinda have a romantic moment in the episode where they visit his parents? Believe it ended with them gazing into each others eyes.

I'd say that was more an acknowledgment of their friendship. In the dub at least, James has been given enough hint-hint lines for him to be pretty much gay as blazes in the States.

Maggie Sawyer in the Superman animated series was openly gay, they just never verbally acknowledged it. In the episode she's put in the hospital after Darkseid attacks Earth, her girlfriend is with her and talking like they're in a relationship. They handled it very well.

In one episode of Courage The Cowardly Dog, Courage helps one female cat rescue another female cat from a pack of rottweilers. Once the cats are reunited, it implies that are lesbians.

Smithers from The Simpsons was the first to come to mind. Is he openly gay? Have they finally dropped the teasing about it?

Its weird to talk about sex in a kids movie. Acknowleding someone as gay would pretty much be talking about sex

Does Team Rocket's James count? He is at most bi. They really lay it on thick with him and Jessie being an item sometimes, not to mention his acknowledging various females on the show as attractive.

.......Yeah, Mr. Simmons is definitely gay. They did everything short of flat out shouting from the rooftops that he was gay.

Pretty clever of the Hey Arnold staff. I don't think a lot of people ever picked up on that.

When I saw that episode all those years ago I thought it was just a bunch of family and friends arguing. Now, however....man, the subtlety! The ever so subtle hints that accumulate to the realization of the truth.
