“ Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics, they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.
”
That’s a statement from the Sesame Workshop in response to people demanding that Bert and Ernie get married. And I love the argument they made, which was a good one: THEY’RE PUPPETS, YOU IDIOTS. OPEN YOUR FREAKIN’ EYES. You can just tell how fed up they are with the whole thing.
