Don't Let Bert & Ernie Get Married on Sesame Street


Don't Let Bert & Ernie Get Married on Sesame Street
The Issue
For crying out loud people, the target audience for Sesame Street has no idea about sexual orientation. Seeing strictly heterosexual friends Bert and Ernie on tv or seeing them as a gay married couple with neither prevent nor cause kids to kill themselves for being "different". Get a grip, Jim Henson should be rolling over in his grave right now. I'll leave you with a Demetri Martin quote: "I'm in a weird position, because I like rainbows, but I'm not gay. So whenever I go out wearing a rainbow shirt, I have to put "Not gay." But I'm not against gays, so under that I'll have to put "... but supportive." It's weird how one group of people took refracted light. That's very greedy, gays. "
