by Becca Petunia | Jun 1, 2022 | Commentary, Feature. Stop me if you've heard this one, but I've got a question. Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

So yes, I do think it’s important that the various Henson-adjacent projects make these ideas “canonical” (or whatever passes for canon with the Muppet gang). Whether it’s introducing a new character or reimagining an old character in a new way, if these companies really want to support queer folks, this is essential. While I do still think it’s important that Disney, Sesame Workshop, and the Henson Company start making things more direct and apparent, we would be remiss in ignoring all the ways Muppet stuff makes us feel affirmed in our identities. So back to the rainbows, and back to the Muppets, because this is a Muppet fansite. They’re also a found family, who support their friends as loved ones, and embrace the differences and quirks that make each of them unique. There are human characters, like two male parents in that one GLAAD-award-winning episode of Sesame Street. But there are no Muppets who are consistently and explicitly portrayed as queer. They’re the corporation that currently owns the rights to the Flying Zucchini Brothers and the Talking Houses and Bean Bunny. Because of Disney’s negative reaction to Flordia’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill (a reaction only taken after protests by queer staffers and fans), conservatives are accusing Disney of being needlessly “woke” and “groomers” themselves.
