When it comes to a long line of fabulous guest stars, Sesame Street has really led the charge. Over the course of the 50+ years it's been on air, the show has repeatedly pulled some of the most exciting names to come swing by and entertain and educate kids with the help of the residents of Sesame Street.Even though the show took its time bringing actual queer representation to the block, it's never shied away from having LGBTQ+ celebrity guests. Everyone from Ellen DeGeneres to Elton John to every famous queer Billy/Billie you can imagine has made a stop on Sesame Street. So to celebrate its recent salvation via Netflix, here are just a few of our faves over the years.1.
