In Epic Twitter Thread, Comedian Claims 'Every Single Character on Sesame Street Is Queer'

Comedian Phillip Henry, known as Major Philebrity on Twitter, has an interesting angle to the debate about whether Bert or Ernie were actually a gay couple.

"Here’s the thing, arguing about Bert and Ernie doesn’t matter, because the truth is every single character on Sesame Street is queer," Henry tweeted.

Following this bold thesis statement came a slew of images of some Sesame Street characters, explaining why each one of them is queer.

Take a look at what Henry had to say about Elmo, Big Bird, Count Von Count, Grover, and Praire Dawn, amongst others.
