I thought this was already assumed?

That's the point they aren't. Ones organized, one isn't. He'll it even got some mileage in Avenue Q as a plot point where one was gay and the other wasn't.

Bert and Ernie have been on the show since it started in 1969

Mark Saltzman, who joined the "Sesame Street" crew in 1984, cleared it all up by telling Queerty he wrote Bert and Ernie as a gay couple.


So this guy who joined the show 15 years after the characters were introduced decided to write them as a gay couple on his own, even though they weren't necessarily intended to be. Am I reading this correctly?





By 1970, that cat was WELL oit of the bag. By 1975, it wasn't even a debate.

There is nothing sexual about their relationship on the show. As far as any kid knows, they are just roommates.

I guess you completely missed the OP.

She probably contracted it when her family's farm was stolen, all of the men killed and all women raped.

As far as Pampers go. All of those mom's that called complaining about the Sesame Street characters just assumed Elmo's gender identity. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Kami was brought in so kids in Africa who contracted AIDs via mom or rape, which unfortunately ties into mom as either she sold you or born from it, would have a relatable character. Since y'know everyday life over there ever since a monkey knocked the bottom out of a gay canadian airline steward.

I was reading a recent article about the early years of GRID/AIDS a few months ago. They went into the Patient Zero details and came to the conclusion that the Air Canada steward commonly believed to have brought HIV to America, while certainly promiscuous and an early victim, was not the first case of HIV/AIDS in the US.

This Bert and Ernie situation is an entirely different matter. I always thought Bert and Ernie met in Nam while serving in Corps. They rotated back to CONUS together and were discharged around the same time. Because they had forged an unbreakable bond as brothers in the rice paddies and jungles of Indochina, and because of the exorbitant rental rates on Seasame Street, the moved in together as a matter of fiscal practicality. I don't know where all this gay shite comes from.

This makes more sense. SO what you are saying is that they are scamming society like these guys.

First of all, I've never seen "I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry" and not because I have an issue with same sex marriage. I've enjoyed some of Adam Sandler's movies (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Just Go With It) and thought that Kevin James was funny in "King of Queens." That being said, I have serious concerns that watching those two knuckleheads in the same movie could cause adverse effects to my intellect. So no Chuck and Larry viewing for me.

However, based on previews, I was led to believe that the Chuck and Larry characters are some type of civil servants who conspire to perpetrate some type of insurance fraud by pretending to be gay. This is nothing like Bert and Ernie. They're just two vets trying to re-acclimate to "The World" and get by on their meager VA benefits. Nothing gay about that.

Not sure if this has been covered in this thread yet, but the SEsame Street Bert and Ernie are well knowned to be named after 2 characters in the movie It's a Wonderful Life.

Neither of those two chracters are gay in that movie

Peppermint Patty was actually a dude the whole time. Patty was his nickname. Real name was Patrick.

I thought that was obvious. He was just an ugly dude.

why cant bert and ernie be friends? why do they have to be gay


Because deviants always, always, always, want more people to be like them, and others to have the impression that they’re MANY more like them. The end goal is to make their deviant behavior look normal, and thus validated, which is exactly what the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ movement has accomplished to a large degree.

First post here for me, been enjoying the board for a while. For what it is worth Sesame Street has denied that Bert and Ernie are gay in response to this. LINK
