Like one of the comments said.
"Seasame Street is for ABC's and 123's."
Doing this is shoving it down kids throats when their parents need to be teaching them ACCEPTANCE....Notice I didnt say Tolerance.
HighOctane saidI'm sorry but that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Why in the world would we force our gay agenda on children? I completely understand the logic about teaching kids equality. In the end though, they are all just friends on Sesame Street. I do not ever recall a relationship on the Street. I think they do a good enough job teaching kids about equality and acceptance. Let's just leave it alone.
Ariodante saidThe problem I have is that they weren't expressly conceived as gay partners when the characters for the show were developed (unless I'm missing something where the original creators of the characters documented somewhere they were). They only "seemed" gay because they were both male and always together. Therefore we impose on them our perception and make that the reality. I know this sounds muddled but I swear I have a good point

Society is still a baby bird.

you *know* they're both "soft".... ;)
xflex2000 saidIt's going to be forced and coerced no matter what. We'll either force and coerce our way to acceptance, or they'll force and coerce us to go back in the closet and keep our mouths shut and our boyfriends secret.paulflexes saidaaronkei saidOmg we want people to accept us but shoving it down their throat like this is rediculous!The reason a mother bird shoves food down a baby bird's throat is because the baby bird isn't mature enough to swallow it by itself.

there's no indication bert and ernie are or ever were gay and therefore it has nothing to do with 'society' -- but to declare and decide that this is something that needs to be forced and coerced is pretty damn ridiculous.
there are far better ways to introduce (as if it hasn't been already) and share our relationships and what we value with society.
