Everyone knows that Bert and Ernie are gay (not everyone knows that Bert is Dominican and Ernie is Puerto Rican), so of course they were excited that for the Supreme Court's two gay-marriage rulings this week—as Jack Hunter lovingly illustrates on this week's New Yorker cover.

Is Bert, a yellow puppet who teaches children about friendship and counting on the show Sesame Street, gay with other, uh, male, I guess, puppets? Did he come out of the puppet-closet on Twitter? The Los Angeles Times investigates.

We already told you there's nothing gay about the new Sherlock Holmes movie, but Robert Downey Jr. keeps trying to sell it as a (shudder) "bromance" to the studio's chagrin. They shouldn't fret, because these pairs are even more flaming!
