He was probably bisexual, not gay.
The reason some jump to the conclusion is because of the nature of his writing in his books, such as Of Mice and Man and East of Eden. East of Eden has a gay marriage, Mice and Man has a gay sex scene. The fact that Kazan, a known homosexual, produced the screen version of East of Eden does not help. The leading star's (Jimmy Dean) homosexual lifestyle creates further skepticism.
However, he was married three times during his lifetime. He spent the last 18 years of his life with his wife, Elaine Anderson Steinbeck. Whether he liked the boys remains conjecture.
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that John Steinbeck was gay. Steinbeck was married three times and had children. Personal sexual orientation information is not widely documented in his biographical records.

Like many authors, Steinbeck was a drinker, and many of his characters have a taste for alcohol.
Is his travel memoir, Travels with Charley, Steinbeck states that he only likes to drink in the company of others. This implies that he was more a social drinker than an alcoholic.
He did not suffer from any chronic illness. His death in 1968 was the result of heart failure.
