Simple solution to your problem. Don't let your kids watch it if you disagree with the message.

900 people are probably a tiny drop in the pond in the amount of people that watch it, thankfully. Enough of this garbage already

Everyone says Bert and Ernie are gay anyway.

The point to "reaching to kids" is so they don't grow up to be ignorant bigots.

Knowing about different people is a good thing.

After more than 40 years these characters have been best friends.

What the heck point are they trying to make to kids?

That they can't have a best friend of the same sex that they're not romantically involved with?

Agenda, indoctrination, brainwashing, desensitization.

Maybe they could air the wedding in the NYC schools and Burt and Ernie can teach them how to put on condoms.
