One of TV’s longest-running children's shows is facing backlash for once again linking its puppets to homosexuality on social media.
Sesame Street shared a post on social media Tuesday, which read: “Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street! Join us in celebrating and uplifting the [gay and lesbian] members of our community.”
The post also included an image featuring different rainbow-colored furs resembling puppet characters from Sesame Street, such as Elmo, Cookie Monster and others.
Primarily geared toward toddlers, the series, (which moved in 2015 from PBS to HBO, and in 2025) was acquired by Netflix — drew the ire of pastors and other Evangelical groups on social media, including Turning Point USA, which criticized Sesame Street for its pro-LGBT messaging.

I cannot believe Jim Henson would have approved of this.
Big Bird was always a homo.
Family Guy and everyone ruining them for me! They were my favorite characters by far.
Oscar after that :)!
White liberal 'elites' running Universities favor the sexual mutilation of children - their loss. Literally. Sterile children don't reproduce. Note: DON'T send your children to liberal indoctrination centers like Harvard... et al.
PRIDE CAMETH BEFORE THE FALL
And I thought Rubber Ducky was “The One”.
Whomever it is who's behind this, one would have no idea who he might be. Oops...
Sesame Street is Netflix? Not NET? When did they buy it?
2015 - 2025 HBO
2025 - Present Netflix
That doesn’t surprise me one bit.
might have just wished everyone a happy child molestor month!
In fact, Jimbo is probably spinning over in his grave right now.
