Thank goodness for people who read biographies and write on the internet about the information they learned, because I never read biographies! A recent post on newnownext.com shared a passage from last year’s biography, The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, by Maxwell King, revealing that our favorite be-sweatered neighbor was bisexual. According to the book, Rogers said that “if sexuality was measured on a scale of one to 10: ‘Well you know, I must be right smack in the middle. Because I have found women attractive, and I have found men attractive.” Yassss! This comes only months after the news that Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie are romantic partners, confirming my suspicion that everyone is at least a little bit gay. And since I don’t read biographies, I shan’t know otherwise.
