Simon and Garfunkel weren't gay, but they probably experimented.

I thk the historil opn here is that they weren't even slightly gay, and that even jt a peck on the lips would have given both of them reer-endg-seizur. However, I've also heard that they were gay lovers who ma sweet, tenr mic together.

Nowadays, there is no answer to the issue -Art Garfunkel is gay? Neverthels, speculatns over whether Art Garfunkel is gay or not are still prent certa rners of the tabloids and on var webs, once aga whout any solid foundatn. In any se, celebri too often refe to talk about their private liv, so we never know if one is gay or straight.
