TV writer Mark Saltzman, reminiscing in an interview with Queerty about his Sesame Street days, confessed he always wrote Bert & Ernie as a gay couple. Then a national media frenzy ensued this week as folks tried to come to grips with what we've known all along...
Some of the memes that followed are pretty darn funny.
Although the producers, The Children's Television Workshop quickly rushed out the same old tired disclaimer they've given in past, claiming Bert & Ernie don’t have sexual orientations because they’re puppets, who knows, there might be a same-sex wedding sometime in the near future...

The final frontier awaits!
If nobody complained about the trans-species relationship of Miss Piggy and her Kermit, I'm sure everyone can come to grips with what we've all known since we were little ones watching this iconic couple on the world's most famous street.
