Apparently, two pals I grew up with are getting some real pressure to come out of the closet with their relationship.
I hung with Bert and Ernie any chance I could get although daytime TV was fairly verbotten in my household. We only got to watch Sesame Street when we were sick or sometimes on the weekends.
I kind of related to the messy, absentminded, cheerful one (Ernie). I thought Bert was an uptight grumpy pants.
There is a petition with 3,000 signatures asking the longtime roomies to make it official.
The Sesame Street producers “have always maintained that Bert and Ernie are less gay couple than odd couple.”
They went on to say ” They are not gay, they are not straight, they are puppets… they do not exist below the waist.”
Puppets. They do not exist below the waist.
Sounds like a good chance at a life long marriage.
