Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie are just friends and room buddies. Despite inseparable to each other, the two are not gay and expect no wedding plans in the future!
Sesame Workshop finally answered the longtime gay rumor orientation of the two Muppet star. In a statement via the official Sesame Street Facebook page:
"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 (as most Sesame Street Muppets™ do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."
Sesame Street Workshop's statement is a response to the online marriage campaign that Bert & Ernie must tie the knot.
Many are inspired by New York state's recent legalization of gay marriage but it is better that the character image of the two remain. I grew up watching it, like so many other people -- it represents the innocence of two good friends.
