Clyde is a friend of the main character Lincoln Loud, and is having a sleepover at the Loud home. In the teaser, Lincoln addresses the elephant in the room before opening the door.
“This is it. Time to make history,” he said before greeting the interracial and gay couple with a “Hi, Mr. Bride. Hi, Mr. McBride.”
The couple, who is voiced by Wayne Brady and Michael McDonald, is also an interracial one. Check it out.


As for Twitter, many fans are split in their thoughts on the moment.
“Tweeting in support of an interracial gay couple on a kids’ cartoon turns your mentions into a very useful exercise of Who To Block.”

“So watching two beautiful fathers in a cartoon television isn’t going to make your child gay. It’ll make them aware & a knowledgeable child.”


“If you think… a cartoon w a gay character is harmful to children please unfollow me.”

“Nothing wrong with being gay. But to make it a cartoon about it? Why are ppl trying to put this stuff in kid’s heads so badly?”


“Nickeolodeon took it too far making a cartoon featuring a married gay couple, that confuses kids so much!”
