   "A Point of View: Bert, Ernie and the power of cartoons"   
   19 July 2013 Last updated at 12:18 ET   
   Sarah Dunant is a writer, broadcaster and critic   
   A Point of View is usually broadcast on Fridays on Radio 4 at 20:50   
   BST and repeated Sundays, 08:50 BST   
   (links to the podcast)   
      
   It involved the urban legend/thought of Bert and Ernie of Sesame   
   Street being a gay couple.  It shows and discusses the New Yorker   
   cover of early July (that I hadn't heard of hitherto) with Bert and   
   Ernie snuggled on a couch watching on an old TV the coverage of the US   
   gay marriage ruling.
