<p>&#8220;Sesame Street,&#8221; the live-action puppet show that has appealed to toddlers and young children on American televisions since 1969, once again celebrated &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; with a social media post on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!&#8221; the official Sesame Street X account wrote above a photo of puppets joining hands to show a rainbow of colors.</p>

<p>The &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; celebration has become routine for &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; as the kids show has posted about celebrating LGBT identity going back at least to <a href="https://x.com/sesamestreet/status/1140695725787025408">2019</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Happy #PrideMonth from Sesame Street! Today and every day, we celebrate and uplift the LGBTQIA+ members of our community. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and welcomed for who they are,&#8221; Sesame Street wrote on June 1, 2024.</p>

<p>&#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; also ran a segment on a girl and her two &#8220;fathers&#8221; cooking last year during &#8220;Pride Month.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Families come in many different forms, and they celebrate their cultures in many different ways, like a favorite dish! Join Mia and her fathers Dave and Frank as they share their recipe for Arroz Imperial,&#8221; the show wrote.</p>

<p>Dave and Frank <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/19/us/sesame-street-gay-dads-trnd">made news</a> in 2021 as the first gay couple that the show introduced, making their first appearance on the episode titled &#8220;Family Day.&#8221; That episode also aired during &#8220;Pride Month.&#8221;</p>

<p>In 2023, actress Ariana DeBose, who identifies as &#8220;queer,&#8221; appeared alongside Elmo, a puppet representing a 3-year-old, to talk about &#8220;Pride Month.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;From our Sesame Street family to yours, happy pride!&#8221; Elmo said in a clip. &#8220;Elmo loves you.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Sesame Street&#8217;s&#8221; continued efforts to push LGBT lifestyles come as the Trump administration seeks to cut funding for PBS, which has aired &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; since it was first shown on TV. Last week, PBS and NPR <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/30/pbs-funding-sue-trump">sued</a> the Trump administration over the president&#8217;s executive order seeking to strip all funding to the stations. House Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump&#8217;s move, <a href="https://democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/president-trump-moves-eliminate-sesame-street-suppress-emergency-alerts">saying</a> that it &#8220;threatens beloved PBS KIDS children’s programming like Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even if Trump&#8217;s order to cut funding to PBS and NPR goes through, &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; and its 55 seasons will likely remain on TV for years to come. After Trump moved to cut off federal funding to PBS, Netflix <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/sesame-street-release-date-news">announced</a> that it struck a deal with &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; to stream the children&#8217;s show on its platform. New episodes of &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; were previously streamed on HBO until HBO&#8217;s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, let the deal with the show <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/hbo-cancels-sesame-street-licensing-deal-show-streaming-service-1235985075/">expire</a> last year. HBO still streams older episodes of the children&#8217;s show.</p>
