There have been rumors about Bert And Ernie for a long time.
Sesame Street's official position has always been that Bert and Ernie are "good friends".

Personally though, I would love to see Bert and Ernie officially come out as a gay couple. Even if they have to retcon some of the details, I think we have reached the point where Bert and Ernie could be an openly gay couple without causing excessive controversy. Conservatives already seem to hate Sesame Street, so it's not like they would lose a lot of viewers there. If Bert and Ernie were portrayed as an openly gay couple, that could really go a long way to help children learn to be accepting of alternative lifestyles from a young age.
