each other about puppet sex.
Edit: The "Bert and Ernie are gay" thing also robs us of the other lessons they show, namely what it's like to live and get along with people who are a bit different from you. I.e. your family. Granted, I probably needed that empathy more than most since I grew up with a twin. Alike, but also a little bit different (for those keeping score at home, I was definitely the Bert :)). The show no doubt taught me more than I can ever appreciate about how to get along with people. Of course, if B&E were retroactively gay, all that empathy in my heart go out the window in no uncertain terms. All so some insecure know-it-alls with a ton of time on their hands can show the Internet just how smart and politically correct they are. Nobody here wants that for me, do they? :)
