After a gay and lesbian group started a petition for Sesame Street to have popular characters, Ernie and Bert, to come out as homosexuals, and publicly marry, Sesame Street has denied their request and announced that Ernie and Bert are not homosexual by making a statement on their Facebook page.

Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets™ do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.
