Netflix’s ‘The Dark Crystal’ Features Gay Dads
Netflix recently dropped a sequel to the 1982 film The Dark Crystal and fans are impressed at the series’ casual inclusion of gay dads. The detail is revealed as the show’s heroine Gelfling is leaving the Caves of Grot for the first time and refers to her parents as her “fathers.”
Nathalie Emmanuel, who voices Deet, spoke to Metro about the show: “It’s an escape from the real world, but when you have the more grounded everyday shows, people we can see that as being real life and can relate to it. ‘We can reflect society and people’s issues back to them. It’s nice to have a spectrum of genres.’”
Can we just stop for a moment and celebrate the fact that Deet has two dads?! #DarkCrystal

There’s going to be a spin off show with Deet called “My 2 Dads”. #DarkCrystal

people big mad about the two gay dads in The Dark Crystal for bringing ‘politics’ into a series that’s unabashedly an allegory of the dangers of capitalistic greed, social heirarchies, and racism. also apart from that, they’re puppets, my guy. take several seats
