An American TV channel has decided not to air an episode of children's cartoon favourite Arthur - because it included a same-sex wedding .
The episode, Mr Ratburn And The Special Someone, aired across the states on May 13, showing Arthur attending the wedding of his teacher and partner.
But Alabama Public Television (APT) showed a re-run instead.
AL.com reported that APT director of programming Mike Mckenzie defended the decision by saying parents trust that their children can watch the station without supervision.
The station had previously pulled an episode of Arthur in 2005 when a character had two mothers.
Misty Souder, a substitute teacher from McCalla, Alabama, said she is disappointed.
She said she is using this to teach her nine-year-old daughter about the importance of standing up for minority groups.
