Aaron Rodgers Discusses Sexuality Rumors in New Book

Aaron Rodgers has opened up about his frustration with past rumors questioning his sexuality, emphasizing that his anger stemmed from the homophobic nature of the rumors rather than the personal implications. In his new biography, 'Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,' the New York Jets quarterback explains that the rumors were disrespectful to his many friends in the LGBTQ+ community and perpetuated negative stigmas about being gay. Rodgers had initially responded to the rumors in a 2013 interview, stating he 'really, really' liked women, but now regrets not addressing the underlying homophobia more assertively. He clarified that his issue was not with being called gay but with the harmful intent behind the rumors. Rodgers has discussed and resolved this matter with Jason Wilde, the radio host who interviewed him at the time.
