I just had this huge internet debate with someone who wasn't too happy with my opinion of Luther Vandross being a homosexual man. People seem to take the assumption of someone being gay as form of disrespect for some reason. I personally feel that ppl who think that way sees homosexuality as a bad thing, which falls into homophobic attitudes. I know there's all this biblical stuff surrounding homosexuality, which is an entirely other subject altogether, but my question is, did u think Luther Vandross was gay?

I loved Luther and his music just as so many ppl did. I will always be a fan. He will never be replaced, and will forver be missed.

Certainly, think about it, he didn't date & never had children. I believe the great luther was a closeted homosexual. I don't think comming out was even an option for him, he came from a time when then even more than now being gay could ruin you. Maybe he didn't want to become a sterotype in the eyes of his family, freinds and his fans. It's sad to say but i think if the great luther would have come out he would not be viewed as his is today. I am 24 and proud to say that i grew up listing to him and i still do to this day. He was a wonderful artist and an insporational person who is truly missed

Yes. He never once in his career was ever seen with a woman. He was an awesome singer whether he was gay or not.

I never jumped to any assumptions, but I had friends that completely think he was.

Yes, he had a male partner. But that takes nothing away from the talented man he was. I loved his music and still miss him!
