In the nearly 50 years that the Beatles have been around there have been a million rumors about them. Some true but most were really just a bunch of junk. Here is another junky one. In response to a new biography that has come out claiming that John Lennon was gay Paul MacArtney has been denying it in interviews all over. When asked about whether John Lennon ever hit on him he replied: "John never tried anything."... " I have seen him roaring drunk....and it was always with a female."
Anyone who has studied the Beatles however will be able to tell you about an incident that occured between John and the Beatles Famous manager Brian Epstein who actually was gay. The incident occured early in the Beatles success when they were on tour in the early 1960's. John knew that brian Epstein "fancied" him and he allowed him while in a drunken state to perform an act of fellacio on him. It was Just an experimental thing John later said in a few interviews and in private but that was all there was to that, it was just a one time thing.
It is also important to remember that John fathered two children by two different women in his life so on the surface it does not appear that he was gay in any real way. There are also stories of his having sexual relations with literally hundreds of women while on tour and off. Some of those affairs with some rather famous people like Joan Baez and Maureen Cleave. Cleave was the reporter who John made his famous quote about the Beatles being bigger that Jesus to in 1966. They were apparently having an affair at the time. In addition while John was married to Yoko Ono and living in NYC in the early 1970's he was having an affair with May Pang whom he met while she was working as a receptionist at a record company.
