Today marked the start of the 40th season for “Sesame Street” and with it finally came the squashing of the forever-lived rumor of Bert and Ernie being gay.  Well, now I can sleep!

How unrealistic can some people be to actually believe that two muppets can have a sexuality of any kind?  Anyone who thinks this must be a moron!  Bert and Ernie are there on “Sesame Street” to teach children about letters, numbers, getting along and life in general.  If adults read further into that, then they just have too much time on their hands and need to get lives.
