a french slang word for gay is "grande folle" or big bird
do you think there is any correlation between this and Sesame Street's Big Bird?

oppinions please

My opinion:

"Folle" doesn't mean "bird". "Oiseau" means "bird". "Folle" is the feminine for "fou", which means "insane".

So, "Grande Folle" means "Big crazy person, who is either female or feminine".

Therefore, no - this has nothing whatsoever to do with Big Bird's gender preferences.

In my opinion.

If Big Bird is gay he should be taken off the air.

The last thing we need is our kids being raised to be gay / tolerate homosexuals.

Let's face it, he surrounded himself with men.

And the most famous kiss Jesus ever shared with anyone, was that with a woman? I thought not. :p

No, the LAST thing we need is our kinds being raised to be intolerant / tolerate bigots.

oppinions please

My opinion is that you should have watched more Sesame Street so that you perhaps would have been able to spell "opinion" correctly.

Also, you're apparently worried about the sexual preference of a large block of foam rubber and feathers, which begs the question as toward what other inanimate objects you have sexual feelings.

I know many homosexuals and there is one thing they ALL have in common: A fetish for men dressed up in giant feathery club wear. That's all I'm gonna say.

Probably pretty small - technically, all he'd have'd be a vent. So even if you were to sit and have a good long stare, you wouldn't be able to tell if he was a rooster or a hen without asking.

well, i don't know if big bird is gay, but i'm pretty sure that bert and ernie are. i heard that there was this gay rights group protesting that every type of person in sesame st. were represented except for gays, so the producers gave in and said that bert and ernie would be the token homosexuals. which makes sense to me, i mean, they ARE "roommates" already...

Bert and ernie are not gay. They even have separate beds. This link confirms that there are no gay muppets.http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/gaymupp.htm

Bert must have some reason to keep living with Ernie after all ;)

I think I actually heard of a fundamentalist Christian group complaining about Big Bird being gay!

What is it with those people being so worried about what everybody else is doing with their genitalia, anyhow? I don't know about anybody else, but I can't have much respect for a deity that takes all this time peeking in bedroom windows when it could be doing some good... like, I dunno, maybe providing cures for all the diseases it whipped up last time it threw a petulant fit when someone wasn't sacrificing the right kind of calf to it.

If I go around looking into people windows to see what they're genitals are up to, I get chucked in prison. Some vaguely defined omnipotent being does it and half the planet is singing its praises. No fair!

Sure. But so what? The "Mary Magdelene kiss" hasn't made it into the common language as an expression, now did it?
