Bert and Ernie are more than just friends, according to “Sesame Street” writer Mark Saltzman.
Saltzman, who joined the show in 1984, told Queerty the two puppets are a gay couple and their relationship is a reflection of his partnership with film editor Arnold Glassman.
“I was Ernie. I look more Bert-ish. And [Arnold] as a film editor — if you thought of Bert with a job in the world, wouldn’t that be perfect? Bert with his paper clips and organization? And I was the jokester,” he revealed to the LGBTQ blog. “So it was the Bert and Ernie relationship, and I was already with Arnie when I came to ‘Sesame Street.'”

So now we know....
I always thought Ernie was gay, Bert was just a "good sport"
I'm sure all the MAGA Flamers here at "Libertysflame" know how to get to Sesame Street....

First-hand knowledge, I'm sure.
No judgement from me, let your freak-flag fly!

They were two hand puppets... that’s all. The only thing queer, are the filthy mentally ill cock suckers that need to propagate queer normalness... and control our media and entertainment industry.

Keep you filthy queer agenda off this site. I’ll bet you are Meguro, re-named.
