Let me start by saying if this topic proves to be to volitile for some I will promptly ask the mods to delete the thread. And if for any reason the staff feels this subject is innapropriate for the RPF I certainly have no qualms if they decide to nuke it. So long as we treat this as mature adults this could prove to be an interesting thread.
I'm 44 years old. I was watching Sesame Street before I could speak english (I believe it's SS that taught me much of my english when I came over from Puerto Rico when I was five). I love Ernie and Bert. I thought they were hysterical! Ernie always getting the best of Bert because he was so uptight! :lol
As an adult I've heard idiots claim that Ernie and bert were gay! I wish I had a dollar for every time I had to tell someone what an idiot they were for saying such a thing. I mean, SERIOUSLY??? THEY'RE MUPPETS! So the characters are best friends and roommates. Soley based on that they're gay?! The very idea is laughable! I've had gay people yell, scream and get red faced because I'm "blind" and "refuse to accept them for what they are"!
THEY ARE MUPPETS!!!
It's a children's show. Such a topic shouldn't even be brought up on this program! Now I hear that gay activists are pushing to get a petition signed so that the Workshop will HAVE to openly admit that they are gay. Because they are best friends and roommates??? This is by no means gay bashing but could someone PLEASE explain WHY they are pushing such nonsense?
