And Paul is correct! Girls were not consumed by and saturated in pink and princesses until about 2002, when Disney launched its massive princess branding campaign in earnest (as detailed in Cinderella Ate My Daughter and tons and tons of recent articles about the same thing).

Somewhere around age 7 or 8, they suddenly want nothing to do with princesses anymore.

You know what? We don't need no stinkin' knight in shining armor, thankyouverymuch. Yeah, sure there's a dragon, and the villain is over there in the corner explaining his evil plan, but I promise. We've got this entire situation under our tiny control.

And in the story to which you link, Kevin Clash says he's never tried to hide his homosexuality or been ashamed of it, but I recall Being Elmo seeming to place a weird special emphasis on his heterosexual past. It spent some real time on the development of his relationship with his former wife, and prominently featured his daughter from his heterosexual marriage. I can understand why it might seem safest for someone in Clash's position to stay closeted, but if he really weren't ashamed or trying to hide, as he says today, the movie wouldn't have tried so hard to imply he is straight.
