JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): I think it's a good thing to have children who are being born today, like my kids won't notice there's a Black dad and a white mom in that ad, versus when I was growing up, that I would be like "Oh, that's different than what I typically see," or -- you can be comfortable with the fact that there are two men kissing or two women kissing. I'm not saying you need to go deep into their bedroom and what's going on there, but I don't see what's so offensive about that. There are gay couples all around us and they have every right to kiss each other just as much as me and my husband do.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Lesbians?
TARLOV: Jesse --
WATTERS: Or gays? Let's clarify.
TARLOV: Both.
WATTERS: Okay. That's what I wanted to hear.
TYRUS (CO-HOST): I don't want to see a straight couple kissing in a cartoon.
TARLOV: But you do --
DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): It's a cartoon.
[CROSSTALK]
PAUL MAURO (CO-HOST): What about trans?
TARLOV: But Sleeping Beauty. How do you save her? I mean, this is like --
TYRUS: She was dead, to be fair.
TARLOV: She wasn't. She was just asleep until true love's kiss.
MAURO: The problem is trans is next, and then whatever comes after that.
WATTERS: It's a slippery slope, Jessica.
