WATCH: Muppet Comes Out as Gender Fluid

http://www.gay.net/tv/2015/09/30/watch-muppet-comes-out-gender-fluid

Gay Net/ By: Daniel Reynolds  09/30/2015

"A puppet made waves on primetime television when he acknowledged his attraction to a male singer.

Pepe the King Prawn, a Muppet known for his Spanish accent and Hollywood aspirations, came out as gender fluid last night after he praised the looks and talent of Josh Groban on ABC's The Muppets."

Not convinced. The puppet says "gender is fluid" not "my gender is fluid".  I think the article is reading way too much into it.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Imagine the hot water ze could have ended up in! Or the drawn butter!
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

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.
