What is the sexual orientation of Paul Stanley?

Answer 1

The question being asked here faulty. Paul Stanley is NOT openly gay, that is he has NEVER come out and said that he is a homosexual man. What the question is perhaps referring to is the outrageous way Stanley acts on stage with his band KISS, for which he is a singer and guitar player. His movements and actions on stage are often seen as being effeminate, therefore many people have wondered if he is indeed a gay man.

Paul Stanley has NEVER come out and said he is gay. He is married to wife Erin and has created a family with her, including three children. Of course this doesn't mean that Stanley is NOT gay or bisexual. Many gay men have married women in an effort to cover up their sexual identity. Into the Void...With Ace Frehley a 2004 biography written by Wendy Moore, an ex-girlfriend of former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley, mentions Paul having had sexual encounters with male fans. It is the only PRINTED claim that I am aware of that suggests Paul Stanley is indeed gay. HOWEVER, the author of this biography points out that she DOES NOT have first-hand knowledge of this claim. It is merely hearsay and CANNOT be considered reliable information.

If Paul IS gay...or bisexual or even BI-CURIOUS, he is probably in the closet, fearing that his fans could not accept the fact that he is homosexual or has engaged in homosexual activities. But Judas Priest singer Rob Halford is openly gay and has not suffered from having come out to his fans many years ago. So...whether or not he is gay shouldn't matter one way or the other to anyone other than Paul Stanley. It isn't anybody's business but his own.

----- I disagree that Paul is a closet homosexual - he was a "ladies man" in the 1970's & 1980's - he & Gene were the ones who were always getting the girls after concerts - they both talked about all the thousands of women that they had sex with, after KISS concerts.

There are two kinds of people who spread rumours that Paul is gay - first, there are people who always falsely assume that a "pretty" looking guy must be gay, especially because of Paul's sensuous-looking moves on stage, but that's a false assumption. The way he looks & dances, does NOT mean that he's gay. Looking a certain way, or dancing a certain way, does not necessarily always prove who you're attracted to - that's just a common misunderstanding & it's a fallacy. The 2nd kind of people who say that Paul is gay, are the gay Propaganda people, who are always speculating that various celebrities are gay, even when there's no evidence. They do this because they want people to believe that the number of gay people out there, is a lot higher than it actually is.

About Paul, besides sleeping with lots of women in the past, he's now happily married to his 2nd wife, with whom he has 3 children. He also has a 4th child from a previous marriage.

Paul Stanley is straight. He was a "ladies man" who had sex with thousands of female fans, after KISS concerts in the 1970's & 1980's. Both Paul & Gene were always talking about the female groupies that they slept with, after their concerts.
