The Fosters producer Peter Paige recently spoke to Gay Star News on how the series is influencing others by showing audiences that same-sex parents are just like any other parent since the show stars two mothers.
"I think it's far more threatening for people to see this family that by all accounts looks and feels like every other family," Paige said. "I'm proud of that."
"I'm proud of the complexity and dexterity with which LGBT characters are handled these days," the producer added. "We've come a long way. We can always do more, we can always do better but we've come a long, long way."
The Fosters returns on Monday, January 19 on ABC Family.
