Was Julia Child a lesbian

Answer 1

There have been rumors about this for years and one of the reasons behind the speculation is that her husband, Paul Child, was investigated by the feds for being a homosexual. These rumors about him persisted well into the 1980s and 90s and give possible credence to the fact that Julia and he had a marriage of convenience.

I don't believe this for a minute. I met her when Mr. Child was ill, and you could see how she struggled to be with other people for the love and concern of him. In fact, she took up cooking at the CordonBleu just to please him, as her cooking skills were rudimentary when they married.

Answer 2

Julia admitted late in life in the 1990's that that the idea of having a lesbian affair did appeal to her. However, she never acted on it. She was really enamored and aroused by men, but found "the kitty" alluring in a sexual way, but never allowed herself to actually go there, only fantasize about it.
