Gay people are, most s, happy to tell you that they are gay. Straight people hardly ever get asked whether they’re straight or gay and might be taken aback by the qutn, but they seem to never have a problem settg the rerd straight.

Ronnie is known to have been gay, and recent reports claim that both brothers were bisexual.

But an acpanyg terview wh Attu’s Simon Gage, Hardy let on that he wasn’t always one thoand percent ’s the relevant part:It’s such a tradn of London gangsters, the gay thg, what wh the Krays... I love the form and the physily but the gay sex b do nothg for me. But there’s plenty of stuff a relatnship wh another man, pecially gay men, that I need my life.
