Sad to see him go he was a great inspiration for millions of dealing with weight issues.

But here's the question was he gay I thought he was gay I always thought.  But you know he was  Liberace of the 1980s

.....why is that a question. How can that matter especially now?

He got that a lot but only because of his fairly bubbly personality and no judgements attitude that usually endeared him to people. He wasn't gay in the 1980's definition of 'gay', he was gay in the 1920's definition. He wanted exercise to be fun and a party, not a horrible hateful chore. He had pointblank stated in the past that he was not gay when asked and he has never had a single real report of a boyfriend stepping forward to date.

It's quite possible that he was asexual in that he had no interest in people in any sort of sexual relationship but was happy to interact with people in all other variations of interaction. Until he completely pulled away from the public eye, he would spend a lot of time personally calling fans to answer their letters.

Never knew that so you just has a very bubbly happy personality I can see that at being mistaken as gay

@katt_goddessThank you
