Life Lessons of a Loving Gay Christian “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was a 30-minute television show that captivated young audiences in America from 1968–2001 (33 years!). True enough.

This determination is a haughty exercise, as it presumes that Evangelicals actually know the correct moral sexual behavior for all Christians.
