The Simpsons: 14 Most Controversial Episodes Of All Time
3. Theres Something About Marrying
The Simpsons may have addressed gay relationships in episodes of yore, but they entered a whole new world of controversy when they decided to tackle the issue of same-sex marriage in 2005 a whole decade before the US Supreme Court ruled it a legal. Though it takes a bit of a silly approach to the issue, using same-sex marriage as a tool for attracting tourists to Springfield, it was praised by many for tackling such a hotly debated issue with gay rights group GLAAD hailing it as "a ray of light." Nevertheless, unprogressive groups like conservative watch dogs the Parents Television Council took issue with Theres Something About Marrying stating: "You've got a show watched by millions of children. Do children need to have gay marriage thrust in their faces as an issue?"
