Just BFFs

According to Sesame Street, Bert and Ernie are not gay. In a statement released today, the children's program noted the two are just good friends. Sesame's Facebook page reads, "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." They even go on to say, "They have no sexual orientation." Okay, I get it. They're hermaphrodites.
