Was Gordon Ford gay or bi?


During the episode in the last season when Gordon’s wife Hedy, who is a lesbian, is telling him to have Midge on his show, I got the impression by the dialogue (can’t remember exactly what was said) that she was covering up a secret of his.

Was it maybe that he is gay or bi, which he’d want to hide from the public because it would destroy his career?

4 months LTTP but yes, I got the same impression as well; that Fords marriage to Hedy was a marriage of convenience to hide he was gay/bi from the public.

I don't think they ever came right out and said it, but it did seem to be strongly hinted at.

Agreed. Great character and show BTW.
