'Dangerous subversives all. Elmo Made Me Gay' or Was I Born This Way?(opinion)
The question of how and when someone’s sexuality is determined has been debated for many years. Is it a developed trait? Or genetic? Lady Gaga has made herposition quite clear,
but until now I never really had a concrete answer.
Finally, Fox News has

I was brought up watching Sesame Street, you see. Like many American
parents, my mother and father thought that sitting me down in front of a harmoniously
biracial group

The poor, innocent dupes. How were they to know they were immersing me in a vat

my infant brain for same-sex attraction? Thankfully,

Peter Shapiro, discussing his new book about the liberal media agenda with
Sean Hannity and some other conservative talking heads, has set the record straight.
Sean Hannity and some other conservative talking heads, has set the record straight.
Shapiro (who, with his squeaky voice, brings to mind a Muppet himself), delivers
the stunning revelation thatSesame Street was originally conceived as a means of
helping poor black and Latino children with little access to reading material at home,
thereby proving its nefarious intent. Its website, he warns, advises parents to raise
their children using gender-neutral nouns, and to give boys dolls and girls fire
trucks, et cetera. God forbid any women should want to learn how to put out fires,
with all those flammable dresses they always wear.

One of the guests, Ken Blackwell – a former Ohio Secretary of State who
(I’m sure quite coincidentally) is considering running for office – swiftly picks up
on the implications of such advice. ‘That’s setting up a problem,’ he extrapolates.
‘Just this year, a high school in Virginia named a guy, who is openly gay, as prom
queen.’ It’s worse than you thought, Ken. They’re even doing it in your native Ohio.
The logic is clear: Sesame Street’s liberal creators intend to rob America’s bitchy,
pretty girls of the prom crowns that are their birthright. ‘So sometimes fiction
does inform reality,’ he concludes, clearly aware of the knowing laugh that will
get from people watching Fox News.

Obviously Big Bird and his fellow travellers represent ‘a direct assault on this
country’s moral foundation.’ Sesame Street is part of a ‘totalitarian’
Government’s plot to destroy and replace families and the Church. Panellist
Kirsten Haglund (Miss America 2008), quickly agrees with Hannity that it is
‘concerning’ how kids today ‘know more’, but proudly boasts that, ‘I grew up
watching Sesame Street and I grew up to be a good conservative!’ But where
did I go wrong, Kirsten?

She gives a clue later on: the problem with liberals and secular-humanists is
that they believe human nature is fundamentally good, whereas
conservatives don’t. Sadly Hannity cuts her off there, but it provides a useful
insight into the kind of education I might have received from television, had it
not been hijacked by Marxist hand-puppets. A Randian Sesame Street where
Mr Snuffleupagus was the only one of his kind because the rest of his family
lived in an Alaskan reserve and we needed the oil, dammit. A world where
Ernie could live with Bert but couldn’t visit him in the hospital or inherit
Rubber Ducky if he died. Where Oscar the Grouch was the Republican
nominee for President.
