Possibly Gay?

There have been rumors that this actor was gay. When The Advocate, a gay publication, reported on his death. They mentioned the rumors. Here is Michael Musto, a famous gay columnist writing it. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/2012/07/sherman_hemsley.php I kinda wish his name could be added to the "LGBT African Americans" category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumley41 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

The Personal Life section does appear to give some hints in that direction, but it seems that Hemsley was so intensely private that no one really knew him well enough to know much about his private life, except the two people mentioned in that section. Probably need more sources before adding him to any LGBT categories.

I've heard that Sherman followed the gay life style. Is this true???
