Was Sylvester gay

Answer 1

If you are referring to the Warner Brothers cartoon cat Sylvester (nemesis to Tweety Bird), probably not.

If you are referring to the singer Sylvester who recorded late 70's chart topping disco hits like "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)" - featuring back up singers Two Tons O' Fun (later The Weather Girls of "It's Raining Men" fame) - then yes, absolutely without a doubt he was gay.

He was a staple of the dance club scene in San Francisco and politically active, supporting Supervisor Harvey Milk and helping to fight against AIDS/HIV or GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) as it was known at the time.

Answer 2

There has been speculation about Sylvester's sexuality, but he never publicly disclosed his sexual orientation. He was known for his flamboyant style and androgynous appearance, but whether he identified as gay or not remains unclear.
