Sesame Street™ and the Sexualisation of Children
Just because it’s Gay Pride Month — yep, there’s so many varieties on the LBTIQ+ spectrum they couldn’t just have one day — in the United States doesn’t mean that it’s OK to sexualise children. That’s a big call to make I know, but it’s precisely what Sesame Street has done with their latest Twitter post.
We’re celebrating love in all of its beautiful forms. Happy #PrideMonth! ???? pic.twitter.com/N6b9Cq4TM5

Seeing that the characters on Sesame Street are not only male and female, but also come from every sphere of the animal kingdom, this certainly expands the boundaries as to what #LoveIsLove now means. Let’s not forget that Elmo, for instance, is only three years old… but whatever, OK Groomer!
It wasn’t long before someone on Twitter took the next logical step of tweaking the image to explicitly link Bert and Ernie. Because a relationship between two men can never be platonic, right?
I've fixed this for you.
We ALL know, and honestly we're really happy for them.

Remember when they said before the meaning of marriage was redefined that nothing would change? Well, they lied. As the lesbian political activist, Marsha Gessen, said back in 2012 at the Sydney Writer’s Festival:
[Photo by Crystal Jo on Unsplash]Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there. Because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change. And that is a lie.
