ANSWER #1: Yes he is gay
ANSWER #2: You need to clarify who you are referring to: Could it be "Little Richard", the pop recording artist of "Tutti Frutti" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" fame?
If so, the answer seems to be a definite "perhaps and perhaps not" and not the seemingly assertive yes" of the above response. Pansexual may be a better way of describing the flamboyant musician. He has, by his own admission, done drag (not a definite indication of being gay, per se), worn make-up (great for attracting attention, and allowing him to get close to women while the androgyny made men feel less threatened) and, on the flip side, done devotional music and has been a minister spreading the gospel. He has certainly had liaisons with women and possibly men, sometimes at the same time.
Being in very early rock-and-roll, showmanship allowed him to play into the racier side which gave rise, rightly or not, to the idea that he is gay.
The only person who really knows is Little Richard Pinkerton himself. And he may not even be sure himself. And in the end, does it matter, really?

of course he is, it's a well know fact. even he never said it officially - there's too much evidence of it. myself being number of times at his gigs- saw him kissing with f*cking Sven Vath, Troy Pierce etc... but he is "elastic" one nowadays though, having settled down due to his age and starting family life
