I agree with Tamera and ideas can be exchanged in a less aggressive and confrontational way in order the allow the conversation to be more welcoming to the audience.

Who’s talking about sex we are talking about to characters being in a relationship not teaching kids about sex this is always something that annoys me why do we insist on viewing all of the lgbt+ community as just sexual but straight coupes as pure and wholesome and fit for children most kids shows have at least one heterosexual couple and it’s all good but make that couple 2 people of the same gander and suddenly were sexualising kids tv and making kids grow up too fast And we all know these shows teach more that abcs they teach about kindness and sharing and friendship

[@blackgirlmagicc]

Non Ya kids are going to know about sexuality it’s almost 2020 what do you think kids are gonna do when little Timmy shows up with his 2 mums or what should they not be allowed to take their son to school in case they accidentally teach kids that people of the same gender get married just like anyone else can or should we get rid of almost every Disney movie because there’s a prince and a princess and they fall in love side that’s equally teaching kids about sexuality yall happy to teach kids about sexuality as long as it’s heterosexuality

How does them being gay stop kids from being kids? lmao

[@Kimbrly_xo]

The RyGuy Ryan you missed the pint but ok.

[@freddieseipoldt]

Let me explain. Sesame Street did not need to go out of their way to clarify that Bert and Ernie were or weren't a gay couple. For kids with two dads or two moms, or kids who will grow up to figure out that they are gay, having a model on television like that helps them know that those types of relationships are valid. Do you know how many gay role models young gay people get growing up? Representation matters. The point is that the creator could have just left it open for interpretation honestly. The only reason he addressed it is because of homophobic parents who don't want their children seeing anything "gay" on the television screen.

They think theyre different for having a certain bond with a boy or girl of the same gender or an action figure or some shit. Jeannie even said that there are kids who grow up with 2 dads. So tamera spoke from her lil repuvlican household and jeannie talked about the relatiobship between people and how kids percieve that from her own perspective of a kid who grew up not knowing english.

Jeannie ???? Sorry I agree with Tam. When your a child your not looking at their gender. In fact why can't Bert and Ernie be good friends? Why do they have to gay lovers?

[@foreverinbloom14]

Maybe not but at that stage of life youre already developing your sense if self. What boys and girls are supposed to do and who you are in that equation. If bert and ernie Are a couple it just reinforces that maybe its OK for boys to like other boys? Its not exactly being pushed down someones throat and that normalization is good for children to learn. There is no age to learn this stuff.

[@ciaras3170]

When you are a child you are looking at gender what are you talking about. As a child you are learning social cues and sexuality is apart of that. Children start developing sexual characteristics as early as ages 3 and 4. It’s important to show children what type of adult they can be and how to behave in the world. I’m not saying the puppets should be gay because they are just puppets and I think kids understand that but I am saying whatever they are children will learn that behavior and follow what they see in the world mixed with how they feel personally.

@@shelsparkle2691 I understand that, I think it's just more unconscious until you're older. But children do have some sense of self and even gender even if it's not something they can explain.

Every children's show has an example of sexuality and relationships within the story. Just about every disney movie has the prince and princess falling in love and getting married. They show kissing, that is part of sexuality. There should be that same type of examples of healthy sexuality and love for same sex relationships.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

children are not aware of these kinds of relationships unless they are adopted by an LGBT couple, in which that only makes roughly 3% of the population. Why should we cater to 3% of the population that is an ALTERNATIVE lifestyle to the natural father+mother relationship? Think ab all the families this will offend.

[@Jassiepoohbear]

@@THEDOORIZCLOSEDI'm sure that's the same mentality people had about including more positive representation of black people and non- black people of color. And for those parents who would be offended by seeing that or having their children exposed to that don't have to take their children to watch that movie or show but the representation should be out there and available, even for that small 3%. Everyone deserves to be able to see themselves or their family positively represented within media.

[@huntleyt08]

I definitely didn’t see them as just friends. I saw them doing the things I was taught was reserved for a man and his wife. I was caught of guard initially by it but it became a source of hope. I also was thinking about attraction to girls and boys as a toddler. By 4 years old I realized which sex I was attracted to. I knew who’s doctor I wanted to be. I knew who I wanted to play “House” with. Did I know what intercourse was? No, but I certainly knew who physically caught my eye and who I wanted to be around. The foundation for my sexuality had already been laid. Playing games and my family and parents friends suggesting I had crushes was a constant thing. Society had already given me and understanding of what was appropriate for little boys and what was appropriate for little girls. “Little boys aren’t supposed to____, only little girls can do _____with boys.” “Little boys shouldn’t hold hands, especially beyond_____years old.” Bert and Ernie definitely defied acceptable behaviors for boys/young men.

I agree with Jeannie. Those saying Bert and Ernie should not be gay because sexuality should be irrelevant to children, are by default arguing that the two characters should be assumed to be straight. We live and raise our children in a heteronormative society where they are bombarded with images of hetrosexual couples in cartoons and TV shows every day, but no one has a problem with children being made aware of them being straight- there would be no discussion on a TV show like The Real if two Sesame Street characters were a straight couple-WHY? because being straight is the norm. What a lot of you don't seem to understand is that Jeannie is not advocating for Bert and Ernie to be gay and for their sexuality to be the main focus of their relationship, constantly highlighted and shoved down children's throats. She is saying that exposing children to gay characters with positive traits and healthy, functional relationships would be beneficial to children who are born gay and would grow up feeling accepted and represented in mainstream media. @DaytimeTeaTime I find it hilarious that you actually used the argument that two popular cartoon characters are gay- both happen to be ridiculously camp devils who are both villains in their respective shows- what kind of message does this send out to a gay child growing up where the little representation they see of themselves in the shows they watch are both the enemy-and a devil no less? Who is to say they are gay any way, along with Tinky Winky- because they are flamboyant, wear makeup and handbags? This does not automatically equal gay and sends out an equally negative message to children by only portraying a stereotype.
