Bromance of the Day: Bert and Ernie



If you ask me, it's time to reconsider the rampant speculation that everyone's favorite cohabiting man-muppets, Bert and Ernie, are lovers. Two bros, living the bro dream far beyond what many of us would consider possible, and the best we can do is pigeonhole them as gay?

Methinks I detect some jealousy in these insinuations, because regardless of their respective sexualities, Bert and Ernie have achieved what all true bros desire for themselves: a carefree life of palling around with buddies, bros before hoes, and everything else for that matter. I mean, you don't call fraternity brothers gay just because they live with a bunch of other men and engage in all manner of drunken homoerotic horseplay, do you? Not to their faces you don't, bruh.

So instead of pushing these iconic bros into a ready-made sexual identity box, let us celebrate them as true keepers of the bro, flying ever so close to that luminous bro in the sky.
