But Bert Is So Obviously A 'Top'


Can't we all just leave these two crazy kids to figure out their love for each other on their own?

“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.”

has sesame street established any other relationships amongst puppets. There is kermit and piggy but that is mainly a muppets thing and isn't really focused on in sesame street.

I totally had Ernie pegged as a Top...but then, I know little about Muppet™ relationships.

Ernie is to peaceful to be a top. He would always worry that he was being too rough. Burt wouldn't give a shit about that because Burt is aggressive about getting what he wants. It's complex world to navigate, this puppet sex thing.
