Let Children be Children
As a child, we all loved to watch cartoons and shows geared to children. Usually around the age of 5, we become aware of the other message these shows relay. A message that may or may not be intentional by the writers, but nonetheless an important message. Romance is between a man and a woman; boy and girl, whether it is a TV show or movie. As a child, we accepted the terms. We understood it was normal for a boy to fall in love with a girl or vice versa. These shows would support the idea by occasionally displaying a kiss scene with two characters of opposite genders, or families with both a mother and a father. When reality meets with media examples, it validated relationships. Additionally, parents and family members begin joking about having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Eventually, friends would too. Everyone waits for the day when the child matures, and announces their love interest to someone of the opposite gender. This is the norm. It is what most people expect and want for their child. It has been the norm before television and motion pictures were introduced. The media has only reinforced this ideology.
