Although Henson et al have repeatedly rejected the notion that Bert and Ernie are gay, essentially stating that Muppets are Muppets, and thus are not sexual in any way, Baby Gonzo (recognized as a boy in the series) gets to wear a dress and teach the other Muppet Babies that it isn’t nice to tease others based on the clothing they wear.

For me personally, I’ve never liked the Muppet Babies, and really didn’t like the reboot, so I don’t know how many social issues it tackles.
