Bert and Ernie come out in The New Yorker | Human Events

No, not even Muppets are spared in our culture war. Below is the cover of the new issue of The New Yorker.

.“It’s amazing to witness how attitudes on gay rights have evolved in my lifetime,” said Jack Hunter, the artist behind the cover. “This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.”

Then again, in response to an 2011 online petition calling for Bert and Ernie to tie the knot, the Sesame Workshop’s Facebook page offered this statement:

“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…they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”

Platonic Muppets. Something to ponder.

Batman and Robin
Lone Ranger and Tonto
Skipper and Gilligan

Fucking stupid. Children are not gay or straight, they are children. They are not old enough to have an orientation yet and the television that they watch does not need to have such asinine nuances in it. Particularly when it is solely the asinine agenda pushers that create this tripe.

I can’t fathom how this does not piss off the gays either. It makes their valid and righteous efforts against discrimination look like petty political agendas and belittles the real positions.

All right – that is fucking hilarious.

I've read the new Yorker, for free, there is no way I'd pay 7 bucks for a rag.

Libturds and their Homosexual agenda. *shakes head*

Apparently teaching it to our kids in many schools across the country isn't good enough. They have to make everything about "being gay", including something as innocent as Bert and Ernie.

In the TV series Aunt Harriet was put in there so it wouldn't look like Bruce and Dick were having a gay relationship
