At minimum Bert and Ernie hopefully showed children that two men living together wasn't weird. It also would hopefully show that men can have emotions with one another. I'm fine with that, if that is less learned.
On the other note, you couldn't have gay characters back then, so if they slipped it in as unspoken friends, to make you comfortable with having two men living together, fine.
As far as retconning a lot of things. Let's keep in mind, there's a lot of things written that don't specifically state gay or straight b/c it's not needed, but that are obviously gay and folks don't want to start drama.
