FRIENDS CLAIM LUTHER VANDROSS WAS GAY
The real tragedy Patti LaBelle outg Luther Vandross as gay after his ath is not the outg self. * was luther van dross gay *
Even wh today’s cril stris the civil rights and social acceptance of lbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, beg ‘out’ remas a brave and bold enavor. And if you’re Black and gay, ’s even more radil. One n only image the anxiety Luther Vandross mt have felt to even fathom the ia of beg an out gay Black man at the height of his mil reer the ’80s.
Even if he wanted to, there was no historil ntext for Vandross to feel secure knowg that he would’ve still been loved for his talents spe the the muny’s homophobia and ep obssn wh toxic masculy.
