A former writer for Sesame Street said in a recent interview that he considered Bert and Ernie to be gay — but the show rebutted this claim, saying the puppets “do not have a sexual orientation.” The most recent back-and-forth over Bert and Ernie’s sexual orientation came after former Sesame Street writer Mark Saltzman, who worked for the show from 1981 until 1990, discussing his career writing scripts for The Muppets in an interview with Queerty. “I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they were [gay],” Saltzman said.
