LGBT
Identity
Since The Little Rascals is a more lighthearted and targeted for families and children, there are no gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender couples. In fact, only one parent is shown of the rascals in the film. The basis of the movie is about heterosexual relationships. Even if there was a LGBT child in the movie, they would not admit it because it is not "appropriate." In reference to idtentity, Guerrero stated, "Several factors influence the impact a group has on our identity, including how central the group is to our self-view." [25] The rascals hardly value heterosexual identities, therefoe, LGBT is not even a topic of discussion.

Four Factors Determining High Levels of Satisfaction
The rascals' heterosexual relationships value some of the same ideals as LGBT couples. Just because LGBT were more out of the norm in the 1990's than today, does not mean they go about their relationships drastically different. Mackety found that "Four factors determined the high levels of satisfaction in both couples: communication, conflict engagement style, equity in household, and intimacy."[26] These similarities can bridge the gap between hetersexual and LGBT couples, making it more acceptable in society.
