The Loud House is now the first Nickelodeon cartoon to debut a same-sex married couple.
In an episode called "Overnight Success", the protagonist Lincoln says, "This is it. Time to make history," as his friend, Clyde McBride, does a countdown in the background.
Then Howard and Harold McBride, who are Clyde McBride’s parents, drop their son at Lincoln’s house for a sleepover.
We are introduced to the couple as Lincoln says, “Hi, McBride. Hi, McBride.”
People are seriously loving the representation of a married same-sex couple.
Time to make history indeed! First married gay couple on a Nickelodeon cartoon! https://t.co/CI5NPmd7JU

Not only a married gay couple, but interracial, AND a positive portrayal as loving, dutiful parents who are funny! https://t.co/xl9PfpmQLN
