For some, it’s the perfect way to build acceptance of LGBTQ+ identities, plus it’s fun and fabulous for the children. For others, it risks exposing young minds to adult entertainment and complex themes of sex and gender.Presenter: Adam Fleming Producers: Simon Maybin & Lucy Proctor Researcher: Ellie House Music: Oskar Jones Editor: Hugh Levinson
