Some stupid American magazine comes up with a cover shot of Bert and Ernie as a gay couple watching TV. What ever gave the gay community the right to assume that these two characters were gay? —Sick of Having Kids’ Icons Sexualized
This article appears in Jun 27 – Jul 3, 2013.


Ummm, get that Big Bird out of your ass …. everyone (straight and gay) knows Bert & Ernie are gay …. everyone but you apparently!
It wasn’t the “stupid American magazine” that came up with that idea, it was the stupid homophobic viewers of Sesame Street who kicked up a fuss years ago, insisting that it was wrong for Bert and Ernie to live together and share a bedroom.
I hope you are able to realize that the magazine you speak of is not for children, and it takes YOUR (I assume an adult) brain to add any form of sexuality to two puppets who don’t exist from the waist down.
Small children don’t know or care what “gay” is.
I had a theory that they weren’t gay, but were ‘special needs’ and got a government allowance to be able to afford that apartment and pigeons.
All I have to say in regards to this bitch is…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I was beating myself up earlier for wasting time online instead of working a real job.. but at least I’m not wasting time complaining about cartoon characters who might be gay, or brothers, or cousins, or friends, etc.
Wait until they find out about R2-D2 and C-3PO.
heh heh heh.
They aren’t cartoon characters, they are muppets and therefore inanimate. They are not straight, gay, bi or anything else. Just wires and fabric.
and this is why places like wbc exist, to feed into the frenetic minds of people like op. why would the concept of bert & ernie being homosexual sexualize them? hmmm?

So sick of this shit…… who really cares what some adult, that is sitting in front of kids TV thinks about muppets or teletubbies or whatever other non-descript freakin puppets? Really, think about it. Sad, fearful man/woman spending their time in front of tv looking for this kind of stuff to criticize. I agree, with Bro Tim, they are inanimate objects for heaven sake. The people that come up with this kind of fear mongering are only going to spoil it for the kids. Period. Because now little Johnny or Janey are going to have to hear the conversation somewhere, either at school or home, that puppets are gay?!?! Who’s agenda does that fit into?? Let’s just confuse all the kids before they ever reach puberty! So so sad. These folks are obviously the type that truly fall into the definition of homophobic, as in what the word really implies (phobia), they are afraid. The only thing I want to add to this, is that I find it too bad there isn’t a common or cultural word for the gays that are afraid of straight folks. I propose we start calling them heterophobes. Because trust me, just as straight folks can be stupid and irrational around this whole issue, I know for a fact that gays can be just as fearful and ignorant. It isn’t a gay straight divide we want is it? Come on folks, we (not the fuckin puppets) are sexual beings, period. Once we can settle on that, maybe this bullshit will finally go away.
Wh.. what? They’re giving each other a hug and watching tv like two people who love each other enjoy doing. Love comes in a million different forms. Cuddling is acceptable in all of them.
And even if it was meant to be romantic, so what? Are you saying couples in love can’t hug in front of children now? Or only gay couples? Their clothes were on. They weren’t boning away on the corner of sesame street. They were hugging.
I’m sure all you folks with kids hug in front of your kids. Well stop! Op thinks that’s fucked up.
Sounds like you did the sexualizing yourself op.
Elmo wants a tickle
“What ever gave the gay community the right to assume that these two characters were gay?”
Correct me if I’m wrong but a homophobic group originally came up with this, stating that is was wrong for two men to live together and shit. And that happened years ago.
Also, if anyone has watched the show they have their own beds. Just putting it out there.
Also.. who cares? No one can say they are gay for sure unless someone in the shows says they are, people assuming doesn’t make them gay regardless who thinks they are.
Also.. they are muppets.. not people.. I’m sure the person or people who makes the muppets don’t attach penis’ under their clothing and the muppets don’t engage in gay sex after filming.
And as far as having kids icons sexualized.. as long as there are adults in the world everything will be sexualized at some point.
THI S is what you think is worthy of your f eelings of rage ? !you need to g et a fracking life oB .
yeah jeez louise, what about the pig and the frog, inter-species relationship^^
Your bitch is probably the most pathetic bitch I’ve read. Ya homophobic ass.
op needs a therapist and a week in a deprogramming camp.
Lowcoaster beat me to it… Dammitalltohell

What was better was the guy complaining on the CBC news that a big man was dressed in a peacock outfit at the Pride Parade… that he should keep that stuff to himself… I peed myself laughing!
long time..it was the early signs of things to come..make gays all cute and cuddly ..but with a side of “real” life grouchy..mission accomplished..
It’s been insinuated for a very long time that Bert and Ernie are a gay couple. This is nothing new.
What’s offensive about being gay? What’s offensive about cuddling and hugging?
Does the fact that Aladdin and the Princess hooked up also bother you, or is that okay because it’s a heterosexual relationship?
You poor fools thought I was being sarcastic, didn’t you?

Also, R-2 bottoms from the top. Try explaining that one to the kiddies, Mr. & Mrs. Progressive Parent.
MWA HA HA HA HA HA
I wonder if they ever spent time in the bushes?
On Tatooine? But that’s a desert planet.
And, quite frankly, their Pride Parade is nothing to write home about

“What ever gave the gay community the right to assume that these two characters were gay”
You know that you are assuming they are gay right? Are you part of the gay community?
And who gives a fuck if they are. Turn off your tv and go play with barbies.
Kids at the age that watch Sesame Street really don’t care OP. Some people didn’t like Bugs Bunny kissing Elmer Fudd on the lips either. This kind of thing isn’t new.
