    At first I was feeling lighthearted about the statement on Bert and Ernie. But now I'm like, wth? We can't have gay ? Why not? We have loads of straight ones. See exhibit A: Elmo's parents. This is disappointing from a show that is about inclusion.

    Also? They live alone! If they were supposed to be six, they’d have parents like Elmo.

    Bert and Ernie were created in 1969. They are almost 50 years old. TRY AGAIN.

    Replying to @BlairImani @SesameWorkshop @sesamestreet
    Elmo's parents aren't portrayed as SIX YEAR OLDS. "Sesame Street Live performer Taylor Morgan said in an interview that "I just kind of try to think like a 6-year-old or a 7-year-old, because that's how old Bert is.""

    I am posting this because an ex-Sesame Street writer confirmed for audience members that Bert & Ernie are gay. HOWEVER, just hours ago Sesame Street denied this claim and said that B & E are just “best friends”

    How DARE the people at & deny young people LGBTQ representation from these beloved characters. They claim puppets don't have sexual orientations but frequently show their characters in hetereosexual relationships; e.g. Elmo's parents.

    LET BERT AND ERNIE BE GAY!

    The beauty of Sesame Street is that we learn by seeing humanity, culture, and life mirrored in the fun characters we love. And ALL of us should be able to see ourselves in those characters. Please, ; Let Burt and Ernie be gay, it’s fine.

    Lissen, we didn’t watch Miss Piggy and Kermit’s heterosexual relationship for y’all to say puppets don’t have sexual orientation.

    Please see our statement below regarding Bert and Ernie.
