Have you ever wondered about Bert and Ernie? Two grown puppets sharing a house and a bedroom… Seriously, are they really just friends? 

The real question, though, is: Why does it intrigue us so much? And it's not just Bert and Ernie, we also wonder about Ren and Stimpy, Brave's Merida, the Teletubbies, and pretty much every single Disney prince. What makes us label them 'secretly gay'? And enjoy it? 

GayPride Amsterdam's LGBTI-emancipation director Irene Hemelaar joins us in an attempt to answer these questions. (Language: Dutch)
