Three years ago, our very own Thea received a phone call from a friend. She accepted the call. She lifted the phone to her ear. It was a brief message, but a potent one — and, as it turns out, truer than any of us knew.

Last night in a bunch of articles ranging from other Disney Blogs to the Huffington Post announced that Winnie the Pooh is in fact a girl bear. And people are loosing it. Kind of like the whole Starbucks cup thing. Up until yesterday the only characters with a defined genders were Kanga and Roo because she is a mother and he is her son.

In Paul Monette's book "Last Watch of the Night", as he is walking through a graveyard, he searches the gravestones for "stray quotation[s] from Hamlet or Pooh". The suggestion is that this is a signal that the people buried thare are gay, and that there is some link between gays and Winnie the Pooh. Searching Google provides enough denial and tasteless jokes about it to prove to me that there is something to the statement that gays have an affinity towards Pooh. Can you find something that actually discusses this affinity seriously and with some intelligent insight?
