Was Michael Jackson, King of pop and dance and greatest performer of all time, in fact gay?

I’m sure most of you know that Michael Jackson got knocked out yesterday, Thursday (June 25, 2009) of cardiac arrest.  Suddenly, jokes on Michael Jackson, some of them gay jokes, don’t seem funny anymore and make me feel sick. He was strange and weirdo (some even call him Jacko the Wacko), yes, and many questions were raised whether he was gay or not.  But was he? Even a Yahoo answers thread has been put up on Michael Jackson’s gayness and a lot of opinions were being thrown around, and in fact just 10 minutes ago another gay entitled “Was Michael Jackson Gay” was posted on Yahoo answers, with already hundred of replies. We never got a confirmation from him, and in fact we will never know if allegations on his sexual behavior is ever true. A previous state manager sad Michael Jackson was gay, but we never trust credibility specially with shady news like this.

Whatever the answer is, and I fear we will never know, his death saddens the gay community, even more because of his greatness as an artist. His songs will forever be on our playlists, and I hope more contemporary artists play his songs similar to how Beat it was made revived and made popular by Fall Out Boy.

Was Michael Jackson gay? A lot think so but we have no confirmation

I don’t know if this comes as saving grace but his sister Janet has been outspoken about sexual preference not being used as a factor for discrimination in the entertainment industry, and she has even receive an award from GLAAD.

That said, let’s just remember Michael for his great music that has strongly influenced the world, gay or not.
