>>5122889Actually read about his life. like I have, no one has claimed him to be straight and he was known to have had relationships with multiple men.
And people who were already famous have said he was gay. It's accepted fact that he is gay or bi, it's just a dispute over which one he is.
>Screenwriter William Bast was one of Dean's closest friends, a fact acknowledged by Dean's family.[38] According to Bast, who was also Dean's first biographer, (1956),[39] he was Dean's roommate at UCLA and later in New York, and knew Dean throughout the last five years of his life. Fifty years after Dean's death, he stated that their friendship had included some sexual intimacy>In his autobiography, East of Eden, director Elia Kazan dismissed the notion that Dean could possibly have had any success with women, although he remembered hearing Dean and Angeli loudly making love in Dean's dressing room. Kazan has been quoted saying about Dean, "He always had uncertain relations with girlfriends.>Today, Dean is often considered an icon because of his "experimental" take on life, which included his ambivalent sexuality.[79]>When questioned about his sexual orientation, he is reported to have said, "No, I am not a homosexual. But I'm also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back."He basically admitted to having sex with men, and if he had came out at the time it would have destroyed his career, so he certainly was not straight. But was he gay or bi is the question here.
I'm a huge fan so I've read countless autobiographies and history on James Dean's life, trust me when I say he may not have been homosexual, but he definitely wasn't heterosexual. The only dispute here is was he gay or bi?
