Thoughts ?

Sesame Street has been on the air for 42 years, I grew up with them, my kids loved the show. I have videos. I sang with Oscar the Grouch, learned how to Count with the Count, I wanted Mr Snuffleufagess to come to my house. Granny would  watch it with me faithfully and loved BURT AND ERNIE.....which brings me to this.


I Now Pronounce You Bert and Ernie: Chicagoan Lair Scott has started a petition to get Bert and Ernie to marry. She posted a message saying:
"In this horrific age of LGBT kids taking their own lives, they need to know that they ARE BEAUTIFUL and their lives are worth living. Aside from those that are committing suicide, the bullies that facilitate these tragedies need to learn that homophobia is NOT okay. They need to know that acceptance of their fellow human beings would indeed plant a seed of peace that will reverberate throughout the world. We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful. Only that they allow Bert & Ernie to marry or even add a transgender character to the show. It can be done in a tasteful way. Let us teach tolerance of those that are different. Let Sesame Street and PBS Kids be a big part in saving many worthy lives."

Honestly, I want you to know, I have NO problem with this. Is that wrong of me?
