Elmo Loves Marriage Equality

Eric and Elmo

Cynthia Nixon wasn't the only red-haired star at yesterday's New York marriage rally. I'm not talking about Lindsay Lohan or Carrot Top–I'm talking Elmo. The tickle fetishist made an appearance in support of his pals Ernie and Bert, gladly holding up a sign that read "Thank You GOVERNOR".

When confronted about the National Organization for Marriage's latest "I'm Confused" ad, the rose-colored Muppet replied that he'd be clearing up any confusion on a special edition of "Elmo's World".

Okay, so maybe that last bit didn't happen, because the real Elmo is a bit of a jerk. My niece was watching an episode of Sesame Street one day, and I swear that darn puppet said, "You have to have balls to play sports." How sexist! Even if he were referring to actual balls, that'd still be wildly inaccurate. Ever hear of swimming or wrestling, Elmo?

  1. okay, i know the elmo in this picture. normally he hangs around times square and charges people two dollars to be photographed with him (using their own camera). i recall a roommate and i blitzed him one day and she ran up and smiled/posed right as my camera flashed. he was pretty pissed and shouted at us beneath his giant, muffling mask. glad he’s pro-s.s.-marriage, though.

  2. Screw Elmo, I want the total stud in the pic with him! If you were to try to capture my “ideal type” on film, you would have hit the nail on the head!
    Now, I only hope that he is a top/vers-top, isn’t already married off, and that he is reading this…
    Tickle my fuzzy red monster, daddy!
