Fan reaction to HIMYM episode

In the episode when Marshall and his law school pal did “date” stuff, the friend invited Marshall to a wedding at a Vermon B&B. He said he booked the “Walt Whitman” suite. DO you think the average viewer made the connection? (Whitman was gay)

Depends on whether they went to college or not. If they had to take even a single American lit class at the college level, they probably had Whitman inflicted upon them.

Well, this is the first I heard that Whitman was gay, and I love HIMYM, so I’m guessing only some of them got it.

And despite going to college, I never took an American Lit. class, and in fact only took one lit. class at ALL, and it was about science fiction…and it was optional.
