I know I've brought this up before, but the resurrected (or, should I say, never-ending) topic of Ernie and Bert being gay has reminded me . . . I'm surprised that there's never been any kind of backlash over Horatio. I mean, think about: he's a cross-dresser who loves dancing around in pink tutus, he has a high and shrilly voice, not to mention his really effiminate mannerisms . . . honestly, he alone puts off more gay vibes than Ernie and Bert ever had - I'm surprised none of these staunch parental and moral guardian groups that are always hovering over kids shows on PBS never ever singled him out as another one of those, "evil characters being used to exploit and brainwash out children into this evil cult that is homosexuality."
Come to think of it: did anybody say anything about the recent episode where Prairie Dawn learns its okay for boys to dress up in girls clothes and girls in boys clothes when they play dress up?
