What was Luther vandross' sexual orientation?

Answer 1

During Vandross's entire career, he was dogged by questions regarding his sexuality. A lifelong bachelor, his name was never romantically linked in the media with women, though this may not have been reflective of what occurred in his very private life.

Although Vandross never came out of the closet, he also never explicitly denied being a homosexual, and generally attempted to steer questioners away from the issue altogether by saying that his busy lifestyle made marriage difficult.

After his death, an article in Out magazine had several of Vandross' friends, including gay comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, claiming that Luther was indeed a closeted gay man.

Answer 2

Yes, Luther Vandross was gay and I doubt that he was trying to hide it, he just wasn't too keen on having people pry into his personal life. Oh, and please refer to the song, 'The Glow Of Love', by Luther Vandross, where he very openly exclaims that he's gay with the lyrics, "so I wanna let you know your my maaannn!"
