“I created Bert. I know what and who he is.”

—

Frank Oz, creator of Bert the Muppet for Sesame Street reacting to some hack writer who thinks he knows Bert & Ernie better than Mr Oz does. Mr Oz sets him straight. Pun most definitely intended. Deal with it.

Mr Oz hits the nail on the head
here. Why the need to define? Especially as only gay? Why must sexuality define
us, as is being pushed on us these days? Why must everything be sexualized? Why
must that agenda be driven into our heads & minds & beloved TV
characters?

The focus of Sesame Street is
not sex or sexuality. The focus is learning, at least it was when I was little.
What does sexualizing Muppets like this really hope to achieve? They’re puppets on a children’s show. IMO,
it takes a certain sick sort of person to want to expose very small kids to
sex. It takes a certain sick sort of person to make something innocent into something
perverse.

Can’t we just leave some things
alone? Must we sexualize everything?

Can’t we just allow innocent
children to be innocent children as
long as they can?
