In my opinion, people should express their own thoughts in a rational manner, meaning we should not jump the gun on trying to end something whether it be a TV show, radio show, or fashion trend. The reason why we should end something is because someone else's feelings might get hurt. It may be one or two or hundreds, but we have to sympathetic.

ABC family is known for having risque shows, and their newest show, The Fosters, showcase a lesbian couple who house foster children. I love the show and the characters, who are very lovable and realistic. However, because of certain beliefs, many people dislike the idea of it and have to speak against it because it is in the name of their religion. Family takes a different name nowadays. It no longer needs a mother, father, and biological children, but for some reason, many people believe it as so. For instance, another popular show, Friends, portray the idea of family within 6 friends. Even though their idea of family is not the classic, cookie-cutter idea, I still believe time has changed. There is nothing wrong with the idea of a lesbian couple with foster children and a biological child because in the end, it should not matter who is in the family, but the way that family is portrayed. Sure, the kids may not have a mom and a dad, but they have guardians that love them and support them and that is all that should matter.

However, no one should hate a show because of certain characters because it is like someone hating us because we are teenagers. The idea of family is changing, and we just have to accept that.

P.S. I looked up reviews of The Fosters, and the show recieved postive reviews. However, I will not share the reviews because it is easily recieved on the Internet. But, I will show you some of other people's thoughts.
