Bert and Ernie Getting Married Is a Dumb, Destructive Idea

I gotta disgree with y'all on this one. i don't know if Bert and Ernie should get married (and honestly I don't think it matters), but even if they did, that has absolutely nothing to do with sexual perversion, it has to do with love, which is a perfectly appropriate thing for children. Also, the bit about the boy refusing to drink water is completely irrelevant to this issue. I just had to point that out.

I agree that puppets do not have sexual orientation, but Bert and Ernie are more than just puppets, they are characters, characters which would, in fact, have sexual orientation. And it's pretty obvious that they are gay and there is nothing wrong with that. And as for Bobbie Gross's comment, being gay is not behavior, it's part of a persons identity. Gay people do not choose their orientation any more than you choose to be straight. So it is right to teach children that we should accept people no matter who they are, black or white, gay or straight. Just like i tolerate you, even though you are a bigoted individual that finds an excuse to persecute people in a 2000 year old piece of mythology. That's assuming your Christian, which seems like a reasonable assumption, you're a prejudiced angry person on the internet, that throws god into your comments for seemingly no reason. Your religion is a choice, you choose to ignore science because a really really old book told you to. You ignore the fact that its either wrong or can't be proven any time it makes a point, because the book tells you to. You choose to suspend any sense of intelligent disbelief, but attraction to another human being is a natural biological impulse that one can't control.

Why would you destroy the founding thoughts and dreams of a small child to further some gender based fetish of wether they are gay. Who cares let the children have thier show as is. It is much to easy to attack an inanimate object such as a childrens show or its charecters than to deal with a real problem in this country like starving people, homless people, teen pregnancy, energy prices, high gas prices, illegal immigration or spending money on the rest of the world. It is the cowards way to attack a muppet but that is about all you can best in a battle of wits would be a muppet. I condem all of you as cowards and challenge all of the people of the "other lifestyle " to take on a real problem. Bugs bunny and elmer fudd wore a dress and they aint gay.

It would take sick people to come up with this idea. It is like telling our children this kind of behavoir is ok. I do not agree and I think God is going to end this mess sooner than people think. They don't want us to push our religion on them but they can push homosexuality on us. Stand up people and lets fight against this.
