‘Veggie Tales’ creator: 'Matter of time' before
Christian kids’ shows are 'forced' to address
LGBT issues
“Parents are definitely going to have to deal
with a growing LGBT presence in children’s
media,” Vischer told The Christian Post. “It’s
going to show up more and more as the world
has decided that LGBT issues are in the same
categories as race and civil rights issues. So to
