Thread: Gay Marriage - a possible solution for all sides

I think it has more to do with getting a stamp of approval from society.

Perhaps that is the case, but it still begs the question on the strategy. Remove what ever benefits there might be by removing government from the marriage business. It is not a bad idea.

Why not just remove the licensing requirement entirely? That seems a possible solution for all sides.

Just how desparate are "gay" activists willing to get for their bizarre little cause promoting "equality" ?


Lets see here.

Online push for Bert, Ernie to have gay wedding on 'Sesame Street'

An online campaign to pressure the producers of "Sesame Street" into having lovable roommates Bert and Ernie get married is gathering steam.

More than 700 people have signed on to the petition, posted at change.org.

"We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful," reads the petition for the muppet merger. "It can be done in a tasteful way. Let us teach tolerance of those that are different."

the producers of Sesame Street say Bert and Ernie's relationship is purely platonic.

"Bert and Ernie are best friends," the non-profit Sesame Workshop said in a statement. "They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.

"Even though the Sesame Street Muppets ... possess many human traits and characteristics, they have no sexual orientation."

As a way to "teach tolerance of those that are different" they want to make some childrens entertainment characters promote and push a sexual issue by having two male characters "get married" ?


ANYTHING to push a redefinition of the biblical meaning of the word marriage. This obviously isn't about "equal rights" or even "equality," it's about pushing the redefinition of a word describing a human relationship.

It's about trying to force people to "approve" of a sexual behaviour that can NEVER be acceptable as normal and healthy because it is the opposite and it always has been, this doesn't change even if a lot of people wish it could.

Do you think it's cool or 'trendy' to show that you can't see the difference between right and wrong off in public ?

Don't bother, I know the answer

I know you won't go looking for it, but you do need help.

...they're puppets, Captain Trips.

Sure, they're "puppets."

And it wouldn't even be an issue if they were puppets you were animating for yourself and your OWN children in your OWN home.

Not everyone in America wants to see this sexual behaviour issue/attempt to redefine a relationship issue pushed into their homes via a widely viewed childrens show.

That is outrageous, it's nasty and it's simply the wrong thing to do.

Start a counter-petition, then? In all honesty, I don't really like the idea very much myself. The show's producers have always sold Bert & Ernie as strictly platonic friends (and that's how I'll always remember them), so I don't see why they'd change that now, just because a few hundred people signed a petition.

They're puppets. As in, these things:



Don't want your kids seeing them get married? I have a fantastic solution to that, and it will even save you a bit of money. Turn off the TV. Or maybe provide them with a strong heterosexual puppet, such as Kermit.



The epitome of manliness. Or frogliness, whatever.

I honestly don't care. I'd mostly want them to do it so I could taste all the delicious tears of butt hurt anti-gay marriage folks getting angry over puppets. That would make it worth it.

...says the guy getting frustrated over two puppets getting married.

Maybe this is what they wanted. Distract you with the whole "gay marriage" thing so they can let "puppet marriage" slip in under the radar..

Marriage to puppets?

Only between two consenting puppets, of course.

Who pays the cost of homosexual repairative therapy needed for all the children exposed to such ideas? Gay puppet marriage is likely to push kids into becoming gay, fixing this will not be cheap.
