Sure. But if civilization collapses in the meantime, then there won’t be anyone enforcing copyright laws. Or copyright could be abolished entirely. IDK what the future holds. Obviously things can radically change between now and then. The best predictions we can make of the future are just extrapolating the present forward.

If being gay was a choice, I think I’d choose it.

To bigots, seeing other people’s happiness is like swallowing a knife. Miserable creatures.

You can tell Ernie had a supportive family growing up but Bert was forced live in the closet. I’m glad they found each other though.

Gay marriage doesn’t come with the implicit expectation of rising children. Imagine all the frustrated parents struggling with the many obstacles that our societies maintain against rising children and their surpressed realization that they could have defied social expectations and just stayed childlessly happy.

The thing about the gay community is that they’ve gone full retard and have been co opted to a certain extent.

My dads not only had separate beds, they had their own bedrooms. Of course this didn’t mean one wouldn’t spill crumbs in the other’s bed.

I mean it makes sense, why would you spill crumbs in your own?

Ernie was gay?

They actually were a gay couple according to one of the show’s writers.

To be clear, they were written from the perspective of gay man, with their interactions modelled after his experiences, but they are not canonically “gay” (they have no sexual orientation).

Wow, Bert’s really short.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
The framed picture would suggest Ernie is shorter, but his knees reach the end of the chair he’s in… 🤔

Well, the same height at the shoulders. Bert just has a freakishly long head.
Xenny@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What does that say about ernie? 🤔
samus12345@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Probably a bottom.

You know they’ll just turn this argument against you. They’ll say something about gays being pedophiles or something. Or maybe they’re allready saying that. I can’t keep up with what’s the hottest, trending, q-anon fake news lie these days.

In 2008 during the California Proposition 8 controversy, there were was a clever ad suggesting You want to stop gay sex? Let them get married. It showed a gay couple transitioning from honeymooning to blasé cohabitation and even bickering as old spouses are wont to do.
