I'm also I'm not sure I agree that males or females living together equates to a gay lifestyle. I would call that a reverse bias bordering on bigotry.
Let me soften that up, I'm not calling you a bigot, but speaking in general, if people are close their relationship is called in to question by busy bodys and that is not right either.

As I said keep it 18 AND UP gay supporters!

Once you are that age you have the right to make your own decisions & choices in life. We don't need cartoons or other fictional characters telling our children whom we raise its "Ok to be gay". They can do what ever they want after they are adults.

Sesame Street has been a great tool for teaching our young kids for decades, but I don't want them seeing Bert fooling with Ernies tool.

And you think our children are not being targeted?
Getting the kids between the age of 5 and 18 is the only way to promote the gay agenda , i'm speechless about this ' just leave the kids alone" cartoons should be off the table in getting a agenda across.

Ernie and Bert are not cartoons.

Straight marriage isn't even recognized in most states till you're at least 17.

These two male characters getting married is borderline pedaphillia if you ask me.

Keep your pecker in your pants till your old enough to know what hole God designed it for.

I suppose it will be interesting to see how it plays out. If Sesame Street caves to the pressure then that's pretty pathetic. To be clear, they are by no means obligated to do what the gay and lesbian community tells them to do. And the backlash against them for becoming an advocate for gay and lesbian marriage would absolutely kill their viewership.

It's not terribly different than when the gay rights folks targeted the Boy Scouts of America. Had the BSA caved, the vast majority of their membership would have abandoned ship, leaving the BSA an empty shell. And now Sesame Street is up against the same dilemma. Doesn't seem like they have much choice in the matter, they can't do it. How would giving in actually benefit them??

Ernie and Bert debuted in 1969, which would make them at least 42 years old.

Bert & Ernie are fictional charters who do not age. They are a kids show & are rated as such.

Go push your gay agenda on someone who gives a damn, not an innocent child.
