‘Bluey’ Just Introduced Its First Queer Characters (Sort Of)
The 28 minute Bluey extraordinary “The Sign” has finally dropped, and it’s occupied of heartwarming (and devastating!) moments. With all the heartstring-tugging, though, there’s one moment that’s easy to miss: the show’s first mention of a gender non-conforming couple.
Warning: spoilers for the Bluey special “The Sign” ahead!
In “The Sign,” Bluey and her family deal with the heartbreak of putting their house up for sale and moving to another city. The drama starts at the end of “Ghostbasket,” when we see a For Sale sign in front of the house. In “The Sign,” we study that Bandit has gotten a higher paying position in another city.

The episode also deals with the news that Bluey’s family will have to sell their residence and move to a new urban area, where her dad has a modern job. Bluey isn’t happy about this, not wanting to leave her residence and friends.
