    Phew!!

    Thank goodness for that. I was very very worried that Ernie and Bert were going to make impressionable little innocent children think that being gay was, like....normal??!!

    And everyone knows that Bert is evil.

    I was expecting this thread.

    As a kid I always thought they were friends.

    Is Bigbird going to be transgender next?

    It’ll be sad to see Sesame Workshop now bombarded with abuse, threats and by boycotts by homosexual right groups, far left groups and PC snowflakes. Best to just keep shut and let people make up their own minds.

    Of course if they said they were gay the far right would do the exact same thing

    Rumours have swirled for years that Bert and Ernie might be more than just friends, with the puppets known to sleep in the same double bed at night.

    They definitely didn't when I was a youngster. They slept in the same bedroom, but in different beds.

    Bert's bed had a capital "B" on the headboard, while Ernie's had a capital "E".

    I remember this vividly because when I was four years old, and a Bert and Ernie fan, I went to each of my siblings beds and scrawled their initial on their headboard.

    I found out that when an eight year old girl's name starts with "D" having a giant lower case "b" on their headboard is not a welcome addition to their sleeping quarters.

    But they're puppets?

    Talking about their sexual orientation is like dancing about architecture.

    When I was a kid I always assumed they were brothers. My Saturday morning memories have been ruined forever. Where do I sue? I demand at least 50k for trauma.

    They are just a bunch of muppets on a children's TV show why sexualize them at all.

    I used to think they were father and son with Bert (the serious one) being the Dad.

    Bert was known to make nocturnal visits to Oscar's trash can.

    Oscar was certifiably insane. Bert took advantage of a vulnerable creature.

    When I grew up we didn't even consider the possibility they were anything other than friends.

    Of course in today's sex-fixated society **** like this has to be dragged up and destroyed.

    What about Noddy and Big Ears?

    These men actually shared a bed, not just a room.

    You would wonder.. even if these shows are written for children, they are still written by adults who the subtext must occur to

    Anyone who wants to assign a sexuality to children's television puppets is a complete ****ing psychopath with an agenda to spin. **** off you cretins and stop trying to sexualise our children from an early age. "normalisation"? **** off.

    I'm sure this comment will be labelled as being homophobic but I don't care.
    Seeing as it's a ****ing kids program, there is really abosulutely nothing wrong with the producers having to clarify that they aren't gay lovers when it was suggested by a writer they are.

    I always assumed they were friends as that is the way they were portrayed in the programme, only someone wanting them to be gay to suit there own agenda would actually assume they were gay.

    Not men though were they? They were toys from a children's book.

    They are felt puppets designed to teach children ABC etc. in a friendly safe way. Anyone upset that they turned out not to be gay is a complete idiot.
