I have different "tastes" than most of you.
(I do have better ones, but they're used elsewhere more appropriate [aka 4chan])
Bert and Ernie?...yes discuss...

BTW, I can't be the only one who must have thought something was a little amiss when they were little with Bert and Ernie sharing the bedroom but having two beds next to each other? Its 2017 so I'd say we're well past the point of social taboo, I'd its obvious to call Bert and Ernie a long term domestic partnership.
^^ but is it a romantic/sexual relationship? Not at all. Sesame Street's response to people using Bert and Ernie as a same sex partnership is "They are puppets!".
The sexual-normative culture we live in can't have just close long-term platonic relationships (especially men) unless we are overtly pursuing relationships of a sexual nature - the platonic relationship must be sexual and the people just living in the closet unless they prove otherwise.
In the 70s, Morecambe and Wise sharing a double bed on prime-time British TV (watched by half the country) was perfectly acceptable. Now, I'd imagine there'd be complaints - because we now assume two men living together in a close relationship are a gay couple.

If Eric and Ernie could share a bed in the 70s and it not being seen as gay, Bert and Ernie sharing a bedroom (but not beds) beginning at a similar time clearly wasn't intended to be.

I am hurting from laughing so hard. Can you imagine being the one who had to type that name for that graphic? How long were they laughing?
