Bert and Ernie

[Timberridge]

With Bert and Ernie out, or perhaps not out, this is the place to hear your thoughts on their relationship, or recount their on-screen hijinks.

I remember when Mr. Hooper died. That was some sad shit.

Frank Oz claimed that muppets had no sexuality. But can he be believed?

It's been reported that the original creator didnt write them as a gay couple. The writer that's making the news is not the creator. How he wrote it, is how HE wrote it. I dont care either way. They were created in the late 60s so it's unlikely they were an "out" gay couple. Different times and all.

I always thought of them like the Odd Couple - Felix and Oscar.

Little known fact....also gay.

I always thought they were brothers. I shared a bed with my brother. I'm not gay AFAIK.

i recently heard that Elmo was preparing to out them

All you have to do is tickle him and he'll spill the beans.

[Meadow Skipper]

Just good friends.

[frorider]

With benefits.

Yeah as Bob said, after a furious tickle session Elmo could be manipulated into things.

I always thought they were just good friends too. Never struck me as bi. Bert was genuinely uninterested in women, and Ernie seemed kinda scared of them. I guess the mystery remains until one writes a "tell all," like Sally did about the other Burt.

My buddy did the lights and sound for the Muppets tour show for 20? years. Most of that time the 2 guys playing them were gay. So that means the characters were gay. Like all fictional characters.

Same here.

[Timberridge]

Same here.

Their heads are completely different shapes. So if that's the case Ernie must have been a C-section baby, and Bert, well...or they had different dads?

Rubber ducky song is now ruined, too many possible sexual meanings. thank you Mark Saltzman.

[stuckathuntermtn]

He's not gay, he's a rubberduckysexual

[jackstraw]

This whole thing is so fucking dumb. How the hell is this news. Jeezus we are a bunch of idiots in this country. Thanks Trump

[Timberridge]

what were you like 5?
i hope you weren’t going there quite yet
in evaluating their relationship potential

5. Those were innocent times.

I'm imagining it now to be more like Benny as Burt and he has a younger guy roommate to help with the costs and to look after his cats and the condo while he (Benny) travels the world.

I’m A Gay Dad And I Want My Son To Know Bert And Ernie Of ‘Sesame Street’ As A Couple

"Two gay Muppets who love and respect each other appearing on a kids show might sound like an absurd idea to many people, but no more absurd than a “weirdo” loving a chicken, or a frog marrying a pig. And in this case, those gay Muppets just might change ― or save ― someone’s life one day."

[hutash]

Don't know if they are gay or not, the whole point is "IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER."

[DBdude]

oh it really does. every permutation of gender and race and sexual orientation has to be represented

and it is really important if you are a gay white man. how dare a children's show not have a gay male white couple for his precious little son

I will never watch sesame street again....

[KQ]

I will never watch sesame street again....

So you were watching it? Recently?

[DBdude]

my 16 year old will be disappointed

[m2711c]

You’re right. At your age it’s probably time for you to move up to the Electric Company.
