My timeline is full of Pride messages from a TON of different people/organizations.
We have Nancy Sinatra sharing a gay boot.
The MLB sharing a rainbow flag.
And just about every football team celebrating with their own inclusive message.
As expected, the replies are ALL over the place.
There’s the usual “groomer” thing.
We’ve got “Leave the kids alone. Sickening.”
And this person brought up a classic: “When is straight month?”
But then there are a TON of people celebrating the message.
“Shoutout to sesame street for raising me to be empathetic and caring towards everyone,” this person said.
“Sesame Street continues to be awesome,” another person commented.
And this person celebrated how Sesame Street does this every year, regardless of the backlash, “I love that Sesame Street stays unbothered and does a pride post every year. i mean bert and ernie HELLO?”
Ultimately, people are like, READ THE DAMN MESSAGE. Like, seriously, read the tweet.
“People are mad at Sesame Street for… teaching kids to accept others?” one person asked.
Another person said, “To no surprise Big bird and friends worded it the best!”
And this person said, “Good on sesame street for posting this knowing the absolute sewage leak that would explode in the replies.”
