Of course they are. They are being fisted every time you see them.
Writer Mark Saltzman said the beloved duo, who shared a basement apartment on 123 Sesame Street, are indeed gay.
He told Queerty the characters reflected his own same-sex relationship with film editor Arnold Glassman at the time.
After same-sex marriage was legalised in New York, fans of the show set up a petition asking the show’s creators to have Bert and Ernie get married on screen, according to Pink News.
Sesame Street then released a statement saying that the characters were “best friends” and were “created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves”.
The statement added: “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.”
“So I don’t think I’d know how else to write them, but as a loving couple. I wrote sketches… Arnie’s OCD would create friction with how chaotic I was. And that’s the Bert and Ernie dynamic.”
Probably why I never watched Sesame Street.
ht/ fdr in hell
…and the guys fisting Bert & Ernie were no doubt on their knees, Anderson .
I am so glad I aged out of kiddie TV before Seventies Street hit the airwaves.
So much stupidity.
Brings back memories. Remember when Bert and Ernie gang raped the Cookie Monster?
Good times.
Well, slap me silly with a fuzzy puppet!
They would have been perfect for the emmys.
They’re the puppet rip-off version of The Odd Couple.
When I had no other choice, I watched SS when I was a kid. But not often, because most of that shit annoyed me. LOL. I hated B&E, Maria, Big Bird and that low self esteem Mr. Snufflewhatever. What a freaking downer he was. Did he finally hang himself?
How hard is it to clean fecal matter from felt?
“Of course they are. They are being fisted every time you see them. ”
lolz
The black guy David who was a friend of Mr. Hooper and Big Bird was also gay and died from AIDS back in the 80’s. And Ernie and Bert being gay doesn’t surprise me one bit.
The guy who did “elmo” got arrested for pedophilia, didn’t he?
“shared a basement”….why yes, yes they did and always came in the back door…..LOL…
Yep…
‘Elmo’ puppeteer Kevin Clash resigns as second man files lawsuit over new underage sex allegations.

Did they win Enemas?
Bert touched my pee-pee when I was in 1st grade. Gloria Allred is handling my case.
Oh, crap on a puppet.
Only adults obsesses about Bert and Ernie’s sexual preferences, children just want to see the innocence of Bert annoy and get the better of too serious and adult like Ernie. At least that’s how it use to be. Now-a-days I shudder at what the modern left is capable of putting before children in the guise of “education.”
ah man–what about sponge bob and Patrick ? Guess i wont let my grand kids watch that anymore.. 🙂
Were they born that way or was it our out of control education system?
When my niece and nephew were little, they’d watch that crap. Sesame Street was almost as bad as Mr. “Child Molester” Rogers. I despised both of those.
But the Muppet Show had at least some redeeming qualities. Dr. Teeth and the band were amusing, especially the drummer Animal, but I actually liked Crazy Harry, the mad
manmuppet who would appear with a plunger-style detonator and blow shit up. Cool!Guess which one comes out as “Trans” and appears on Vanity Fair?
Here you go, Uncle Al…..

Read” Of course ……” and fell off my chir laughing so hard, and loud. Wife screams from other room “What is the matter!”!
Fantastic!
I think my kids watched; I was at work how would I know?
Is it too obvious to bring up the subject of defunding NPR/PBS/CPB? Government financed leftist propaganda from stem to stern.

@WDS, Societal Dreg – Ooh! Ooh! A Crazy Harry action figure!
I don’t think I want to own one, but it is very gratifying to know that such a thing exists!
@Vietvet – It’s not easy being brown.
Frank Capra is rolling around in his grave right now. B & E were named after two characters, very GOOD FRIENDS and NOT gay, Burt and Ernie, police officer and cab driver.
They are of the “village” that the Left demands raise your chillrun.
Joking aside (great stuff, btw), this stuff pisses me off.
The original Bert and Ernie were in It’s A Wonderful Life played by Ward Bond and Frank Faylen. Frank Faylen was Dobie Gillis’s dad Herbert T. Gillis on the Dobie Gillis show and a very good character actor. And who didn’t like Ward Bond, one of John Wayne’s best friends, he was a great character actor also.
This reminds me of George Lucas saying years later that “Return Of The Jedi” was really a biting commentary on the Vietnam war.
TOTAL BULLSHIT years after the fact.
Now that the homosexual agenda is in the forefront at Sesame Street, they will soon be adding puppets of The Village People.
You know those two old men in the balcony were creepy queens. Why wasn’t that enough? No, pervert every character. Count Dragula: today’s show is brought to you by the numbers 6 and 9.
Children have actually been watching “Queer Street” all these years. Not surprised.
Well….DUH!
I think I remember the Cookie Monster mistaking Berts Crotch for a ginger snap once… Look up the video Kermit sings Hurt.
Pretty certain now that the goal of the LGBTQWERTY movement is to get all of us to convert to radical Islam, because there are a whole lotta turdpunching cocksuckers I’d love to toss from rooftops right now.
You know, even if they are, it didn’t matter then and it doesn’t matter now.
Let the kids have their show, let the kids be innocent for a while. No, the alphabet groups can’t be happy with that – sad and evil.
Uhh … did they have … uhh … plumbing?
izlamo delenda est …
(sigh…….) Can never leave well enough alone……..
UPDATE: Creator Frank Oz sez “not gay.”
