It seems that some people are trying to get the two puppet characters hitched. I mean talk about stereotyping and forcing your opinion of something on other people. Straight people can sleep in close proximity to each other too you know... Apparently, there is a petition going around where people are signing it to show that they want them to be officially gay. Sesame Street's official declaration is that the two are not gay and will not be married. There is no sexual orientation.
What are your thoughts? Do you think they should be gay? Would you sign said e-petition? Does the petitioner's agenda for teaching acceptance supersede the artist's freedom to express their characters in anyway they want to?
I support SS's statement. ...freedom of expression and all
Sesame Street is the show that used to have grown men approach lone, young children asking for help in a certain task in return for a cookie or something.
So if they can teach a whole generation of children how to be abducted, they can teach a new generation about basic human relations.
Yeah, I guess you're right about it teaching acceptance to kids. But if they want to teach kids acceptance it shouldn't be because anyone made them do it. It should be because they want to.
