Yes, he was a gay man.   How do I know this?   Because he raped young boys.

Straight men don't rape boys.   They don't fantasize about boys, or men.   Ever.

This is something I apparently need to explain to some of the women and gay men of this forum....as many of them apparently believe that heterosexual men often find young boys hard to resist.   Sorry to break it to you, but it's not true.
