Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has announced that the character of baby Stewie is gay.
The 35-year-old told Playboy magazine that he was working on an episode that would deal with the toddler coming out, but it was eventually scrapped to keep his sexuality vague, Pop Eater reports.
MacFarlane said: "It had to do with the harassment he took from other kids at school. He ends up going back in time to prevent a passage in Leviticus from being written, 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is an abomination'."
He added: "Ultimately, Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy repressed heterosexual. It also explains why he's so hellbent on killing [his mother Lois] and taking over the world.
"He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation."
It was reported earlier that details about a banned abortion-themed episode of the animated Fox series have been revealed.
