Frank Oz @TheFrankOzlam Follow It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert & Ernie are gay. It's fine that he feels they are. They're not, of course. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There's much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness. 486 Retweets 2,112 Likes @黽 Thom spillman @SpillmanThom 1h Replying to @TheFrankOzlam Why are they not? Not arguing.. just wondering.. He said he wrote from that POV... ta Frank Oz @TheFrankOzJam 1h I created Bert.I know what and who he is. 916 25 262 Reed Brice @thatdangdingus 57m You may have created him, but you don't seem to realize or appreciate what he meant to thousands of little boys growing up. You digging in your heels (and wrongly conflating romantic orientation with sexual orientation) with what seems like disgust is abjectly disappointing Frank Oz @TheFrankOzJam 55m How odd you see my feelings as disgust nem @celestialmadona 46m if you aren't disgusted, why do you care so much about this. c'mon frank say it."i hate the gays" it's right there man c'mon say it you know you want to Frank Oz @TheFrankOzlam 34m WHAT!!!!??????
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 MuppetsTM do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.
