Fred Rogers was NOT Perfect

He was, at the end of the day, still a product of his environment. That gay black actor was gay and Rogers later convinced him to marry a woman which obviously didn’t work out. He did view being gay as a disease that could be cured. He legitimately believed he was doing the right thing and he felt he was lovingly helping his friend cure what was wrong with him. His intentions were not malicious but he was absolutely wrong about how gay people’s brains worked. [1] And later on he realized he was in the wrong about this and changed his views . He admitted he was wrong. Mr. Roger’s had some flawed views based in ignorance but he was usually willing to listen, learn, and grow from it. [2]
