Many people are angry about the LGBT relationship between Ruby and Sappire in the Steven Universe episode "Jail Break". I do not see their reasoning behind this, saying they don't want to see their son or daughter witness these relationships on TV because they fear they may be like "them" is like saying they don't want them to see African American people on TV so that they don't turn black. It's absolutely foolish to even begin to want this show to be cancelled or censored because of a beautiful relationship between two female looking characters. This petition is against allowing foolish minds get rid of such amazing details in such a wonderful cartoon.

These episodes are adorable and they matter to the story as well if you take them off you're losing important content. The gems are genderless, but even if they weren't it shouldn't matter anyway love is love and nothing should get in the way of it.

I was filled with a lot of hope when I saw this episode. If we want a more accepting and positive world we most expose the new generation to characters that defy our society's narrow minded standards. Keep such a beautiful lesson and scene on the air!

I would have loved representation like this when I was a kid. Besides, the relationships are cute. Homophobes can make their kids watch different cartoons if they want to shelter them so badly. Leave what we have alone, because we need it.

by censoring an innocent scene like the one between Ruby and Sapphire is silly. kids are exposed to worse things then a kiss every day. yet, parents don't rise up in arms about the violence and heterosexual sex and kisses they see every day in TV shows.

I adore Steven Universe, and these episodes are no exception. LGBT media is becoming more and more present, and parents need to realize children need to see positive representation of the LGBT community if they exoect them to be good people later on in life.

These are really important to me. As a lesbian who identifies as Agender, I don't see a lot of, well, me on TV. These are kid shows and out of anything we need this on them. Kids' parents need to learn that having queer characters is normal and okay.

Why would people do this? Homophobia is getting so bad.

You're right! Censorship is terrible, but obviously murder is far morally superior.
