(CNN) There are some new faces on "Sesame Street" and they're bringing a new layer of diversity to the decades-old children's show.

The show dropped its Family Day episode Thursday on HBO Max (which, like CNN, is owned by WarnerMedia) and YouTube. The episode featured a family with two gay dads.

On the episode, Nina introduces her brother and his husband, played by Chris Costa and Alex Weisman, as well as their daughter, played by Olivia Perez, to Elmo and his friends as they celebrate Family Day.

The milestone for the show comes during Pride Month, which Alan Muraoka, known as Alan on "Sesame Street," acknowledged in a Facebook post.

"Sesame Street has always been a welcoming place of diversity and inclusion. So I'm so excited to introduce Nina's Brother Dave, his husband Frank, and their daughter Mia to our sunny street," Muraoka, who co-directed the episode, wrote. "Love is love, and we are so happy to add this special family to our Sesame family."

LGBTQ advocates celebrated the inclusion.

"The 'Family Day' episode of Sesame Street sends the simple and important message that families come in all forms and that love and acceptance are always the most important ingredients in a family," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis tweeted.

"Sesame Street" has throughout the years introduced diverse characters and tackled issues such as hunger and addiction.

Earlier this year, the show introduced two new Muppet characters who were both African American and discussed what racial difference means.

So sad! A stubborn and rebellious Generation headed for Destruction just as in the days of Noah.

Hahahaha things are happening.

Arrrrrggghhh...they had to mess up this beautiful program. Smh

This is very sad

I grew up watching sesame Street as a child on the NTA network....

Its a pity that children are now taught that being gay is normal.

We were stuck with this program from Mon-Fri. until creation of states TV stations gave us alternatives

Yassss, when kids grow up seeing this as normal relations...that'll be the end of homophobia...

SAME thing as plays that have multi racial relationships

Remember watching Sesame Streets after school on NTA back then and we sang along with them but just imagine how these useless world dictator just want to kill the fun memories we had as kids even if some of us are married.. I downloaded videos of sesame streets, voltron, old power rangers, dexter and other fun cartoons not this hip hop noisy characters they have now... good old days

Lobatan. One question though, must we strike a balance at all cost? Every advert now has similar character. It seems sometimes like the society is trying to force people into the act.

This is why our ancestors never rated you people. Every flashy thing catches your fancy.

Smh, forcefully manipulating children in a subtle way.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

God himself is pro-choice, allow people make theirs.
That's my stance!

Yea! I wonder why we are not allowing teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 decide to have sex with whoever they like. Aren't they old enough to decide that? If they are old enough to decide their sexual orientation and then they should be old enough to have sex with whoever they like, right?

Trust me teenagers already make that decision whether you allow them or not.

It should be legalized then...and the age of consent should be dropped to 12, don't you think?

O pari. My children will never watch this show, ever. This is so sad that this beautiful show that I grew up watching has finally been corrupted by this gay agenda being shoved down our throats.

Well, just screen harder what your kids watch.

Parents need to be much more intentional these days.

If only Nigeria has its own kids' shows. We rely heavily on the west for kids' shows like cartoons etc.
The few that we grew up with, are no more. Like Tales by moonlight.
Nigeria needs it's own kids' where we can teach our children our own values and not the values of the west.

It's not going to be easy, If in the household the 2 parents are working, monitoring would be near impossible.

It's because of things like this that I've made up my mind that my wife would take care of our children and keeping an eagle eye on them. Let me worry about how to put food on the table.

Why are you using someone else picture as profile picture? because I know you are hideous both physically and inwardly

BigSarah:

I guess you took the same decision too, no wonder when y'all gets to 25, your pussy becomes so wide.

When are you all going to learn that sex is nothing?
