They've lived together for 42 years and share a bedroom, but the people who produce "Sesame Street" made it clear on Thursday: Bert and Ernie are not gay.
Nor are they heterosexual. They just are.
"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," Sesame Workshop said in a statement posted on Facebook.

I am very glad to see that even Sesame Street knows when to draw the line.

Best answer possible.
“I am very glad to see that even Sesame Street knows when to draw the line.”
Me too.
Bert and Erny are child-like characters for children. This mania for forcing adult sexuality onto children is so perverted and just pain evil.....
That’s all I have to say.
Bert and Ernie aren’t gay—they’re gangsters!

Warning....lots of profanity! but funny!
The best possible answer Sesame street could’ve given.
‘They’re puppets..”
And hands the homosexual activists a clear rejection that, IMO, should be applauded by everyone on this forum.
Ever person who participated in this obscene web poll is a clear and present danger to our children. They are truly the scum of the Earth.
They're queer as a three-dollar bill.

Teaching kids about homos will be brainwashing in my opinion.
The Gaystapo is going to be enraged and won’t settle for this. They will blacklist those at PBS until they sodomize everything decent.
That’s gay.
Because they realize that if the did what the freaks want 90% of their audience would stop watching them.
Probably true. But you know, I don't care if the reason they said "No Way!" was morality-based, or financially-based -- it was the right answer, and it's about time somebody gave it.
I am so tired of the Political Correctness that allows this or that pressure group to get away with trashing our culture -- and our Nation -- simply because no one has the backbone to stand up and say, "Enough! Stop it!" for fear of being labeled a {whatever]-phobe.
There are times when the Right Answer is good enough, even if it wasn't given for the ideal reason.
Can we please keep sodomy out of children’s programing at least? Is that too much to ask?
But didn’t Ernie already tell Rubber Ducky that he’s “The One”?
They're puppets. Their characters exist in a fantasy world. It's all make-believe.
If you think about it, that's enough right there to warrant the comparison with a three-dollar bill. :)
I can’t quit you, Rubber Ducky.
