Sesame Street has FINALLY responded to old rumors that Bert and Ernie are gay. They claim the room-sharing male-puppets are JUST FRIENDS -- and have no sexual orientation whatsoever.
A petition emerged online earlier this week, urging the creators of Sesame Street to marry the two puppets -- but the Sesame Workshop just posted a message on its Facebook account, writing, "Bert and Ernie are only best friends."
The statement continues, "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."
This explains why their so touchy with each other.....because their just friends. YEAH RIGHT!
