Group Pushes To ‘Let Bert And Ernie Get Married’ On Sesame Street
And then judgment fell
On the surface, what you are about to read, to me, is comical. A group that wants Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie to ‘come out of the closet’. But the reason why it’s really not so funny is that it shows the level to which we are proud to display the behavior that got Sodom and Gomorrah torched to the ground and killed everyone in it. Think about that.
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Will the Children’s Television Workshop give way to same-sex puppet love?
An online campaign is calling for the producers of TV’s “Sesame Street” to allow characters Bert and Ernie to get married in an attempt to “put an end to the bullying and suicides of LGBT youth”, according to the group’s Facebook page.
The petition letter adds that “[w]e are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful by allowing Bert & Ernie to marry”, suggesting that the show “even add a transgender character to the show…in a tasteful way”.
While over 900 people have “liked” the group’s Facebook page so far, the comments from visitors are fueling the controversy over whether children should be exposed to homosexuality at such an early age — echoing a similar battle over proposed gay-oriented curriculum in California schools. The group’s Facebook page also includes a photo mocking Christians for their opposition to homosexuality and same-sex marriage. source – CBS

Hmph… it is obvious what their objective is – pass this through and then what? Timmy and Tommy in kindergarten that love Sesame Street decide to become boyfriends instead of just friends. The gay line is being pushed more than ever.

This is just added confirmation to me that the rapture is very close.36 ”But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[t] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.” In those days sexual immorality was rife where pretty much anything went, much like it is today and it is still on the increase at a very fast rate.
One thing is for sure, the producers of Sesame street will stand before almighty God one day and have to answer for all the children that were lead astray by the filth they were broadcasting.
1 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. 2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.”

Hey lets be fair how ‘bout Jimmy the Jihadist talking about his friends and ideas.
Or Mickey the meth head, telling use how to use a spoon or count to potato.
Maybe we can teach our kids how to build a cross in the back yard of one of our neighbors too.
Just remember don,t play with matches.
It’s simple like the square peg fits into the round hole…
NOT.
Or lets bring in our Good neighbor named JESUS, HE can tell us how to be kind to each other, how to care for each other in loving kindness… and not the perv-Bert kind.
Has anyone checked to refill Jim Henson’s plot, cause this would make him turn in his grave.

Oh for goodness sake.! This is so stupid. Bert and Ernie have always been very much perceived as hetrosexual flatmates.
This is a children’s show and I pray that the powers at the studio or where ever will see some common sense.
The world has already got too much unGodly shows.
Please Lord God overrule here.

The enemy is moving faster this week, and more disturbingly than ever – brazenly going directly at our innocent CHILDREN to forcibily indoctrinate them to their evil agenda.
“CNN – Are Ernie and Bert gay?”
Sesame Street already answered this question (an emphatic No!) – so it is NOT even a “question”. The leering “story” on CNN is biased from the start ( “…ARE they?)
The intolerant tactic of essentially DEMANDING through the media, that Sesame Street CHANGE their characters, to THEIR agenda is truly evil.

You know, if Sesame Street really wanted to end this battle once and for all, they COULD come out and say that Bert and Ernie are cousins. That would innocently explain why they live together, and many persons whom remain close to extended family often share a home.
