The Canadian Broadcast Corp talks to Jessica Bennett of Newsweek & The Daily Beast about the online petition to let Bert and Ernie Marry. (Aug. 11, 2011)
5000 people signed that trash. That's not even 0.00001 of the US population and people across the world who grew up or are growing up now watching Sesame Street.
As a gay man, I think it would be stupid to get bert and ernie to marry for various reasons. one being the audience is TOO YOUNG to be put into the world of romance and sexuality. Sure, you can make them gay, but children need to learn more important things than this. Leave gay rights stuff in shows like Glee or iCarly, where the audience is nearer to the right age to learn about this stuff.
its a fricken kids show, just leave it at that. And saying so shouldn't make anyone a homophobe. I've never understood the need to define people by their desires.
Bert and Ernie aren't gay. They're best friends. That is all. Why is it that we have to sexualize everything? Sometimes I miss the innocence of childhood.
Gays sux!!
its just a fucking kids program, why the fuck gays have to think they are gay?
fuck that
