The popular show details the life of Bluey, a seven-year-old blue healer , and her little sister Bingo, a five-year-old red healer, alongside a supporting cast featuring their friends and family. Now, three seasons and over episodes into its existence, Bluey has not only garnered praise for being a tremendous kid's TV show but also for its inclusivity in the final episode of season 3. In the most recent episode of the series, the show made reference to its first same-sex couple, with a friend of Bluey's - a chihuahua named Pretzel - noting that he has two moms in an anecdote about his pet guinea pig. Others shared personal anecdotes as to why such a small line meant so much to them.

The revelation of the character with two moms comes as Bluey sits at school, sad about the upcoming move, and wonders why stories always have happy endings. Ultimately slight spoiler Frisky and Rad make up, the wedding is back on, and we see the ceremony and reception. The LGBTQ reference takes up about one second of the entire thing, a rainbow flicker in a sea of straight wedding hullabaloo.

The quick plural reference to 'mums' went in and over the heads of most viewers, but not all.

In a brief and otherwise ordinary moment, a character named Pretzel seemed to say, "When my guinea pig ran away, my mums told me he might come back.
