An online petition is calling for "Sesame Street" to have male puppets Bert and Ernie get married.

Producers say NO to the request stating: "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,"

"We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful. Only that they allow Bert & Ernie to marry or even add a transgender character to the show,"

Uh, but that IS crude and disrespectful.

The founders of NAMBLA must be proud. What was once abhorrent — pushing the homo agenda onto children — is now viewed by many as “healthy.”

Sorry, but there are no tax dollars being used to establish a Facebook group to petition that Bert and Ernie take the next step in their relationship and get married.

For the last 42 years, Bert and Ernie have been monogamous, well except for that one night where Bert got drunk and had the misfortune of passing out right by Grover’s trash can.

'Sesame Street' Petition to Make Bert & Ernie Gay Sparks Same-Sex Marriage Debate ,

Cool - the very next week PBS will lose their federal funding and the new 'in your face' Sesame Street will be yesterday's memory... as only obscure cable channels will buy the series...

It's a twofer - we dump PBS from the feeding troth and a liberal show for kids at the same time....

Wait, but we’re all told that homosexuality is not a choice. So if the muppets weren’t CREATED that way, how can the producers CHOOSE to make them gay??

This is going to ruin, i mean outright ruin all the fun jokes that used to be made about all the innuendo surrounding Bert and Ernie’s “relationship”. How can comedians continue make jokes concerning Bert and Ernie with innuendo.

How funny is a joke about how Bert and Ernie possibly being gay if they have already been “merried”.

Won’t someone think of the comedians?

As a child, I hated Sesame Street; I just knew there was something inherently wrong and un-American about it. As I grew older, I could see the in the multiculturalism of that show the influence of communists and other collectivists. Disgusting.

“I could see the in the multiculturalism..”

In what ways is Sesame Street multicultural?

the same perverts with regards to batman and robin.

bert and ernie are the two brothers who share a room.

these are PUPPETS for a children’s show.

what next? wife swapping charaters? Gruff the leather fetish puppet?

Perhaps they need an adult novelty store on sesamee street to give the lost city of detroit feel to the area.

these people are just plain sick for trying to steal the childhood from children.
