Is Ernie and Bert, Sweethearts?

Just few days ago nashock ako sa narinig ko. Ernie and Bert of Sesame Street (children's TV show) are gays daw and actually they are not best of friends but lovers! How trulily is this rumor? Matagal na daw itong chismis na to. Eh bakit ngayon ko lang narinig?! Hindi ako papayag na hindi ko malaman ang story behind this issue! So here it is.

Let me start on simple background facts about them. Ernie and Bert were designed by Don Sahlin based on two fruits. Ernie was based on orange and Bert was on banana. The two were originally intended to portrait equality. That people can be friends despite of their differences.

Orange and Banana, fruits where their appearances from
They are friends! Best of Friends! Yes, that's what I knew all along. Until the rumor hit my ears. They're gays? How can they be gays?


They live in one house, share one bedroom but sleeps in different bed, I know! But hey! can't friends do these things? Then I saw the portrait. Portrait of the two! HAHAH Now, no male FRIENDS will post such thing in their room for heaven sake!




For Christmas episode, Bert and Ernie each find a gift to get. Bert gets a soap dish to put Ernie's rubber ducky in and Ernie gets a cigar box to put Bert's paper clip collection in, thanks to Mr. Hooper's idea.

Are Ernie and Bert gay? Good argument for the one who says they are and they are not.


Part 1: Ernie calls his bathtub "Rosie" because whenever he takes a bath, he leaves a "ring around Rosie". Bert waits for his bath.

Though many episodes showed that they were more than friends, still the final decision will be on the bosses of Sesame Street. So speculators please let Ernie and Bert stay as friends for now until further notice! LOL Ernie and Bert, not gays and not getting married!
