It Is True That Luther Vandross Was Gay?
- Thread starter APOPHIS
- Start date
Luther was gay and he died from aids
ok now move on
At WBLS 25th anniversary party which was held at MSG Luther was the host.
Freddie Jackson was not even on the bill he came out on stage to give his respects, the crowd wanted a song I forget which ones he did but he lit the stage up. Luther trashed his dressing room and never resumed his hosting duties that night.
He also was a hater ask Patti Labelle about there infamous fight when she had him on her tour, he also caught a sissy fit over Envogue when they first dropped they opened a tour he was headlining he was such a bitch to work around. Luther was a jackass and a filthy flaming homo I used to work at 550 Madison and to see this big gay ass man prancing around was disturbing.
I GOT THIS BELOW FROM WIKIPEDIA
During Vandross's entire career, he was dogged by questions regarding his sexuality. A lifelong bachelor, his name was never romantically linked in the media with women. Although Vandross never explicitly denied being gay, he never publicly acknowledged it either. He generally attempted to steer questioners away from the issue altogether by saying that his busy lifestyle made marriage difficult and indicated that it wasn't what he wanted. After his death, an article in Out magazine had several of Vandross' friends, including gay comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, claiming that Luther was indeed a very unhappily closeted gay man

For some reason that's one of the OBVIOUS things that aren't discussed in the black community like ARETHA FRANKLIN'S weight problem

I don't know much 'bout him or his music so it came to me as a bit of a shock.
Is this true?
Someone enlighten me.
DEEP TEST....comedy
Probably so, but let that man rest in peace. Millions of straight people have gotten pussy to his songs.
anyone with eyes knows that Luther was gay.
cot damn, his mannerisms were textbook gayness, the man damn near rolled his neck, eyes and lisped with each sentence.
this does not change the fact that he remains the premiere balladeer of our time.
some people can't reconcile the fact that he was both gay AND talented, just like Prince.
i've got every album from both dudes, but you'd have to be stupid to not know that both were fruity.

He was in the closet...dude saiid if he was a wrestler he'd call himself Luscious Luther...Luther was a great performer, but he knew if he'd come out it would ruin his music career.

Questioning Luther's sexuality is one thing but Prince is off limits playa!!
That man has gotten some of the best lookin' puss in showbiz. Does Vanity ring a bell, Carmen Electra perhaps, & various others.
Yes prince talks & dresses funny, but he is by no means gay!!
My boy was a guard at one of the casino's in ac, he was in a special unit assigned to the celeb's that came to do show's there. anyway to make a long story short, he had to walk around with luther all day when he came thru. my boy said him, luther, and some other cat( that was with luther) was in a private elevator going up to the suit, it was that type of elevator with the mirror's everywhere. Anyway he said he looked up and seen luther slob'in old boy down

Yeah would not say they are in the same class of sexuality.....Prince def' get his share of broadz always has but I still would not say he is a MAN'S man.....he is straight up different......
It's like he does things to get pussy that most men would not.....but bishes love it....so can't deny he's probably had more pussy than most....but he still is a weird one.

I like some of his songs but never became fanatically obsessed.
Your post must be a precursor to BLUNT entering this thread. Thx for nothing.

Sorry bruh, Prince is 100% straight, he is just eccentric and flamboyant, if he were gay trust me we would know about it!!!!!

Bring a new woman to your house, dim the lights, light some candles, and play superstar and a house is not a home. Then tell me if Luther was gay or not, if you really give a damn. Ive had women who really didnt like my black ass, drop them panties, when they heard Luthers voice in my apartment back in the day. I could careless about the mans sexuality, I know he's helped mine tremendously.
and whoooa calling prince gay is insane
yall need to read transcripts about how many women he used to run through
and he has always had the baddest of bitches....always
yall need to cut that shit out
last week there was a conversion bout Luther being gay, one guy said that if you think about it you never knew of him being in a relationship with a women in the news or anyplace, which don't really mean anything to some people. This other young cat from Rwanda said something bout Prince i was like i don't no bout Luther but, Prince hell nah, I said "Mayne you must don't know bout Cameron Electra" he was like no, "I said he put her on back in the day".
lmao...see? some of us CANNOT appreciate an artist's expression without ratifying all things about said artist.
we'll come up with all kinds of explanations: he transends sexuality, or he's different...
...fuck that. a motherfucker wearing ONLY a lavender trenchcoat, panties and thigh high stripperboots is gay.
i don't care HOW many women he's fucked, this dude said his female side's name is Camille. his symbol is both male and female. dude wears MASCARA.
LMAO...damn i forgot about some of this shit...y'all remember the yellow satin tights he wore on American Bandstand...and the bitchmade interview he gave? FUCK!!!
all that said, Prince is a genius, and i respect his abilities.
but that doesn't mean i'll pretend he's not light in the loafers.

i've always heard that he started falling apart when the drummer in his band committed suicide before a concert in pasadena. who knows. maybe that was his lover or something. doesn't matter to me though, cuz he will ALWAYS be known as a great singer-gay or not.

many may not have know much about him but ANYONE BLACK should at least know something bout his music.

Vanity, yes. Carmen Electra, no. Prince was not involved with every woman that was in his musical orbit, though this self-created, 5'2"-super-stud "mythology" has always worked wonders for him, and still obviously does (thanks in part to the fantasy-fulfillment scenario of the Purple Rain film.)
Luckily for him he managed to seclude himself early on after his fame struck. Folks didn't even know about his sick child for days. His love life remains something of an enigma wrapped around a mystery (or vice-versa). Whether gay or straight (or some mix of both) he's decidedly eccentric (and controlling) with regards to his relationships. He can afford to be. (Veronica Webb's account in her book about the circumstances of her getting an interview with him is instructive on this. Lisa Jones's biography from the early '90s is pretty illuminating also, if limited by its lack of access to the principal.)

Prince did mess with Carmen Electra. she admits that. he made her wear make up 24/7, put her in an apartment and her on call to fuck whenever he wanted.
and Luther was gay...but his music was classic
Luther Vandross was on the Opray Winfrey Show many years ago. He said that his favorite painting is called "Two Men In A Shower" and that the painting hangs right above his bed. That was his way of telling the world that he was gay. You can't convince me that a straight man would have a painting of two men taking a shower in his bedroom.
He was most definitely gay and may he rest in peace.
