being a gay man, I like to think of Sr. Romero as being gay. I guess he was just a private type of guy. I saw a biography on him and they said that he took exceptional care of his family. That counts more to me.

It states clearly in the trivia about him that he gave an interview towards the end of his life about his experience as an openly closeted gay manthat means he was open to everyone in his circle of friends and family except the general public. The interview which is very funny and intelligent can be read in the book "Hollywood Gays"
This bit of trivia has been removed.
The book
Hollywood Gays
by Boze Hadleigh is generally regarded as a fraud and that Hadleigh never really interviewed the people presented in the book. Since they were all deceased by the time the book was published Hadleigh is free from being sued for libel. -

The fact that Romero's sexuality was always in question is what led to my curiosity about my relative's ring all these years (see question posted a few minutes ago). Why would Romero have a very large blue topaz and diamond ring of the type worn by Hollywood starlets in lavish musical productions in his estate? I hope someone on this board might have a clue.

Its bit difficult to be a positive gay model in an era when homosexuality was illegal and definitely frowned upon.
Romero gave an interview about his private life on the understanding that it would be published after his death.
Its that man again!!
