Bert and Ernie homo

Or not. This is what I wrote about it, somewhere:

Considering Bert and Ernie's relationship

I think it's wisest to not state what kind of relationship
Bert and Ernie have exactly. Them being a couple, is one of
the possibilities then. How they fill things out exactly, is
up to them. So to say, because they're not real. But I'm
also saying it because it's how we should be towards the
relationships of others in general: without judgment; a
label brings judgment with it.

The broader Sesame Street team also leaves it more in the
middle than the writer (current, but since long) has done,
see lazy link below.
Labeling Bert and Ernie as gay may be emancipating for gay
couples, but, for instance, less for couples that are
romantic, but less sexual. The dynamic of a control freak
(sorry, Bert: someone with pretty severe OCD) and a more
loose character, can happen regardless of the way Bert and
Ernie live together.

No label = best label

(Credit to BoJack Horseman for making me more aware of
asexual relationships)

They can't be gay.

They don't have multiple partners.

A writer mentioned he was influenced by a relationship he
had with a bloke. Doesn’t mean they have to be gay.

rofl @ signeduptolol

yes, that sort of relationship. i want to believe they're
more than friends, but platonic. (how else would they stand
to be together that long)

"Mr Saltzman made his assertion about the two in an
interview with LGBTQ news site Queerty.

"I always felt that, without a huge agenda, when I was
writing Bert and Ernie, they were [a couple]," he said.

Mr Saltzman joined the show in 1984, 15 years after the pair
debuted on the show."

So not just any writer. the writer

Yes that’s what I meant. He was influenced by a past
relationship. Doesn’t automatically make them gay, but
yeah. You get me.

Please, carry on attempting to graft a gay agenda onto a
pre-schooler's TV show. The conservatives will come to see
your point of view.

I've said already I don't give a shit that liberals find
something AMAZING about foisting sexuality onto
pre-schooler's TV puppets. I think it's unsurprising and
creepy, but mainly that this sort of shit pushes people away
from whatever laudable issues progressives push (unlimited
illegal immigration and free anal swabs, I guess). As I say,
when Trump wins again, you can sit down with blue armpit
hair girl, and drill a hole in Ernie's ass. You know, to
#resist.

Bloody hell people! order, ORDER!

Hyperflake, no I don’t think so. Not speaking for LoL mind
you. My point is that as a kid I didn’t care or want to
start pondering over sexual orientation and all that
“adult stuff” when watching my shows. As for things
slowly becoming acceptable, that it’s ok to be
“different”, well that’s positive. I’m all for kids
learning empathy and avoiding becoming total bigots I just
don’t think that when I used to watch my cartoons at a
young age I needed to be taught about sexual orientation.
Hence it being a bit irrelevant (to me) wether those two are
gay or not.

Anyway we all know many cartoon characters are gay, it’s
not not something the kids particularly care or think about
though.

i send my scribble to two young mothers at work and they
didn't respond, so i guess they disagree

what i said is, among other things, also for people that say
'i don't care what they are!', which is an equivalent to 'i
don't see color'. also i wrote it because i saw someone
indeed pushing an gay agenda on this.

etc

"I don't care what they are", in terms of sexuality, and
certainly in terms of fucking puppets, is emphatically not
the same as the risible "I don't see colour".

What NGO do you "work" for again, where you've got time to
send unsolicited musings on Muppet sexuality to young
mothers? Tax payer funded, is it?

"Cookie Monster is made of blue armpit hair," cackles Oz.

What about other characters, we asked.

"Miss Piggy is a findomme, and Kermit is her pay pig" roars
Oz with laughter. "Get it? It's ironic." Suddenly becoming
serious, he leans in: "They are race mixers."
