Cartoon Network is set to premiere an LGBTQ inclusive episode of “We Baby Bears” on Saturday, according to GLAAD.
Cartoon Network is a children’s television channel that airs “We Baby Bears,” the prequel series to “We Bare Bears,” which is about three brother bears and their adventures. The Season 2 premiere, titled “Polly’s New Crew,” is about the bears meeting an old friend who has been cursed, and features two non-binary characters and a discussion about correct pronoun usage, according to GLAAD.

The use of pronouns and how to use them is shown in a clip as a character introduces herself to the bears by saying “I am the great Winnifred, she/her, actor extraordinaire.” One of the bears, Panda, introduces Box by saying the character uses “they/them pronouns and they make an exceptionally good quiche.”
“I use they/them pronouns, as well,” Polly responds, according to the clip.

The decision to include non-binary characters in the show came after crew members “came out with they/them pronouns,” GLAAD reported.
“Our show team values representation because it’s something everybody on the show deeply cares about,” the team stated, according to GLAAD.
