The First United Methodist Church, located in Birmingham, Alabama, hosted a wedding party on June 15, 2019, while screening "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" episode. The director of the festival, Rachel Morgan, got permission from WGBH to screen the episode at the wedding party. Morgan, when hearing Alabama's decision, stated, "personally, I was in disbelief and a little ashamed for our state. With all due respect to Alabama Public Television, it simply doesn't speak well for Alabama on a national level to censor such content. It made me sad, mostly for the message that it potentially sends to children -- that the lives of members of the LGBTQ community don't deserve the same representation as others." McKenzie has yet to respond to the screening.<ref>https://www.al.com/news/2019/06/birmingham-church-to-host-wedding-party-while-screening-banned-arthur-episode.html</ref> | The First United Methodist Church, located in Birmingham, Alabama, hosted a wedding party on June 15, 2019, while screening "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" episode.
