It dropped on Friday on Disney Jr., so it might take a while to hit the
outrage circuit.
A quick scan of the episode guide on Wikipedia suggests the show usually
doesn't get into the social commentary, focusing more on stuff most little ones
deal with at some point (being a sore loser, getting a new sibling, etc.)

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.

Right wing media is gonna lose their sh*t over this. 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. This specific issue is of great
importance to a certain percentage of the population, and it is sure to
generate words from both sides of the issue. --
