Considering how extremely open Jim Morrison was about everything, I'm 100% certain we would know if he was gay, simply because he'd either talk about it, write lyrics about or somehow put some focus on it. He wrote about what interested him, whether it was drugs, spirituality or sexuality, and considering what a big part of someone's life being gay is, he would definitely written about it had he been gay.
Either way, he had a steady female partner for a long time, and was known to fool around a lot with various other female fans and celebs when he had the chance. Him being gay is extremely unlikely. -

Err, David Bowie was an open bisexual and was linked to both Mick Jagger (his wife claims she walked in on them in bed) and Lou Reed (who is also openly bisexual). It wasn't just an act.
Back then lines were blurred. People didn't think of it the same way as today. I think it would be naive to assume Morrison
didn't
experiment with homosexuality. Based on when he came about, what he represented, the things he did and said, as well as stories that came about from his days at film school - I think he probably experimented in quite a few ways.

Jim was straight.not that it really matters, cause it's not important at all, but I haven't found any evidence of him being homosexual.He was definetely into girls.
I have read every book in publication (outside of foreign) on Jim Morrison's life, and none have suggested or even questioned his sexuality.
Jim Morrison is a great poet/musician, and it even if the books are wrong, who cares.time for people to get over the whole sex thing.

Yep. Freud also believed in the greek myth of Oedipus and came up with the idea that boys have a sexual attachment to their mothersand a jealousy of their fathers because of the relationship they share. -

In regards to the Soft Parade, I always thought he was making reference to the Christian tradition of "love thy neighbor," and the commandment of not coveting your neighbors wife. He can "love" his neighbor in the brotherly sense until his neighbor's wife gets home, and he can't help but covet her. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

When he was in New York hanging out with the Factory crowd in the late sixties, according to cross-dressing Warhol-'Superstar' Holly Woodlawn, Morrison visited a gay den-of-iniquity called 'The Mine Shaft'. On the other hand, when he was in Amsterdam in '68, the ladies of the red light district apparently did some very good businessso perhaps he was bisexual/bib68curious, or maybe he was just interested in the gay-subculture because, back then, gays were the ultimate outcasts of society and he therefore sympathized with them (and the fact that his big hero Rimbaud was gay).

People will write anything. There are very few documented instances when Morrison met Hendrix, and the one instance where there's any recording of it Morrison was falling down drunk, slurring vulgarities over and over.

I sincerely don't believe Jim was homosexual. I can't find any evidence of that even being true. He was way to into women. He loved women. He may of been bi-curious,but I think all of us have been bi-curious at one point in our lives. That's normal and there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't think Jim was homosexual. He doesn't come off that way. That's just how I feel about it.

and how does a homosexual "come off"?
You don't WISH to think of him being bisexual or gay, so therefore, he's not. And how would you find "evidence"? You weren't in his life,you never met the man. You think he's going to write that he's bisexual(or gay) in his books because he was so "open"?
And no, not all us have been bi-curiousthat's a soft way of saying bisexual.
