yes she was
********************
Bessie Smith was not totally gay. In today's society we would call her bisexual. But in 1920's in black society it was very common and especially among show biz people. Bessie was married to Jack Gee but she also had affairs with women. Jack was straight but was also unfaithful.
Bessie didn't announce her sexuality but her niece by marriage, Ruby Walker Smith, gave verbal interviews giving the details of Bessie's sexual appetite. Bessie was well known among like kind and was well known at buffet flats. Although she didn't participate in the activities in the buffet flats for fear word would get around to Jack due to the gossip mill between performers, she did like to go watch.
