BUtterfield 8 38,812 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 An Emmy-winning scriptwriter who worked on Sesame Street during the show’s heyday has revealed he does consider two of the show’s central characters, Bert and Ernie, to be a couple. Speaking to Queerty, songwriter Mark Saltzman was asked if he thought of the pair as gay. He admitted he had no other way to ‘contextualize’ them. ‘And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualize them.’ Saltzman furthermore admitted that the pair’s shenanigans were often inspired by his real-life relationship with late documentary filmmaker Arnold Glassman. However, Saltzman added the caveat that he never ‘said to the head writer, “oh, I’m writing this, this is my partner and me.”’ https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/sesame-street-writer-clarifies-whether-bert-and-ernie-are-a-gay-couple/#gs.2FLCZyQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 97,922 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 It is quite obvious since the first get go, (gay couples used to call each other as roommates to the people who asks back in the day), but glad it is confirmed bluntly now so nobody will be guessing anymore.
