"I’m a gay dad and I want my son to know Bert and Ernie of ‘Sesame Street’ as a couple," wrote HuffPost Guest Writer Jamie McGonnigal ?? Here's the back story ? This week, a former #SesameStreet screenwriter sparked an online debate after appearing to suggest that Bert and Ernie were a same-sex couple. ■ He has since clarified his remarks: “As a writer, you just bring what you know into your work,” he said. “Somehow, in the uproar, that turned into Bert and Ernie being gay. There is a difference.” ■ Sesame Street also released a statement about Bert and Ernie: “As we have always said, 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 (as most ‘Sesame Street’ Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.” ■ An estimated 34 percent of LGBTQ+ kids face bullying in school, and they are nearly three times as susceptible to suicidal behavior as their heterosexual-identifying peers. Would giving them the chance to see themselves represented, even in a small, benign way on a TV show, make a difference? For now, we’ll have to look beyond “Sesame Street” for the answers. // ?: AP Images // Reporting by: @curtismwong // #TheMuppets #Muppets #BertErnie #LoveIsLove #ItGetsBetter
