Was Sherman Hensley Gay?

On Facebook Tuesday, Joyce Ladner, a former interim president of Howard University, posted a notice about the death of actor Sherman Hemsley of television's "The Jeffersons" and praised him as "out and proud." Friends approved with a "like." No point in being in the closet one's whole life, wrote Ladner.

The blog post the retired administrator referenced never offered evidence that Hemsley was gay, although it said, "[Hemsley], who never married, was reportedly an out and proud gay man. He had no children." It did not identify the source of the "reportedly."

Hemsley, who was 74, died in his El Paso, Texas, home the day after Sally Ride, the first American woman to go into space, succumbed after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Ride waited until her death to announce that she was gay.

Hmmm..how did she announced that she was gay if she was dead? Must be a typo. They probably meant until her illness.

Uncle Phil did have wife though for a long time unlike ole George. Don't think he ever came out and said he was gay. Never know in Hollyweird who is or who is not. Some may appear to be and actually not be the ones who really are. LOL.
