He says he hasn't had sex in over 20 years. So is he gay or not?

This from icognitoOne  (Thank you!)

Tim Gunn is making it work without sex. The “Project Runway” fashion guru revealed Tuesday on ABC’s daytime talk show “The Revolution” that he hasn’t been between the sheets with anyone for 29 years. That’s fine with him.

“I haven’t had sex in 29 years,” he said. “Do I feel like less of a person for it? No. Not even remotely.”

Gunn, 58, said that his “very personal” reasons for abstinence have to do with an “intense” and psychologically damaging past relationship. “My partner ended it, saying that, quite frankly, he was impatient with my sexual performance,” he said.

Gunn, who is openly gay, also said that the AIDS epidemic prompted him to reevaluate sex. “I think a lot of people simply retreated because they were concerned about their health. I certainly was,” he said. “And I’m happy to be healthy and alive, quite frankly.”

While Gunn said that he’s “a perfectly happy, fulfilled individual,” he’s happy to engage in sex again, as long as the person is right. ”I have feelings,” he said. “It’s not as though I’m some barren forest. I don’t want to imply to anyone that I have a mandate that says no sex. I don’t. I don’t know what’s around the corner.”

The point I was trying to make was this: Some people insist gay is a choice. So if this man choses not to have sex with other men, does that mean he's no longer gay?

Lack of sex does not make someone homosexual.

With that logic everyone who is a virgin is gay.

Also, gay people have sex...

I could see him being gay but just because one chooses not to have sex doesn't make them gay.

I don't think how long ago he had sex has anything to do with it. If he's sexually attracted to men, then yes, he's gay. (I love him, by the way lol)

if he says he is gay then he is gay.  how regularly one has sex or if they are celibate has nothing to do with ones sexual orientation.

Lol. So because he hasn't gotten laid, he's gay? Then my brother must be gay. I'll make sure to let him know.

He's working that purple like a champ.

But honestly, no clue if he is or not.
