Sesame Street, one of my favorite show when I was a kid. This child friendly show has been around for 50 years now, as old as my mom. WOW! I still remember before going to school, i used to watch this show, my favorite that time was Cookie monster, I am just so amazed on how he bit and ate stuff. I also love the loner Grover, who lives in a trash bin. Big bird probably is one of the most controversial characters among all of them. It's a gender issue, there was a rumor that big bird's character was trying to portray gayness and parents are so alarmed that their kids will turn into gay by watching this kid TV show. Maybe they just think that way cause how big bird sounds like. The character is really a boy, but if you will consider the feather, long legs, long eye lashes, and the color yellow. It's just that big bird sounds and look more like a girl. But all in all, who can tell by just one glance if a bird is a boy or a girl? Then came the coolest of them all ELMO, who gained popularity in the mid 90' appearing in major events like Grammy, Oscar, and was collaborating with huge celebrities in Hollywood. Elmo surely made his way to stardom. The rock star of Sesame Street. Ernie and Bert, who live together, when i was a child and still innocent, it never came into my mind brothers living together was an issue until I got exposed to this idea of two men living together. Another gayness stuff. but come on guys! lets spare this show on throwing none sense rumors and controversies, it's definitely a good children show and it really helped me built my character as a child, let us not forget how we learned and enjoyed the alphabet, have fun counting with count Dracula, and for us Filipinos, most important thing that this Kid TV show taught us is English. What i am trying to say is that we have to let the children do their thing and spare them of our doubts and maliciousness way of thinking. They won't have an idea of gayness stuff if you won't tell and impose this to an innocent mind. Don't be afraid that your child will turn gay by just watching a kid TV show, gayness is not a contagious disease, it's a choice and way of living. and have you ever consider that someone can be a much better person if they choose to be gay? Think of it. Kape!

A tribute to Sesame Street. Celebrating 50 years of entertaining and educating children. This show definitely helped me develop growing up. More power to Sesame Street.
