Jim was not gay. Notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat. Jim was tolerant and not uncomfortable around gays. In the book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" it said that he politely declined gays who approached him for sex. He said something like "that's not my trip". The time he said he wanted to blow Hendrix he was joking while admiring Hendrix's guitar playing. Jim had gay friends and The Doors let a gay group use some of their office space. He enjoyed anal sex with female groupies. None of those things mean that he was a homosexual.

I don't think Morrison was homosexual but this doesn't mean he never flirted with the idea. Others have cited influences on Morrison in this thread; Alexander the Great was a major influence and was how Morrison ended up with the great hairstyle he sported in 1967/8. I believe Alexander was (suspected of being) homosexual, but I could be wrong. Anyhoo, in a biography about Edie Sedgwick there's mention of a party where everyone was strung out on drugs. Jimi Hendrix was playing guitar during which Jim Morrison gave him a blow job. The behaviour was attributed to drugs.
I give my respect to those who have earned it; to everyone else, I'm civil. -

I hate how people try to claim that famous people are secretly gay. I've heard everything from Abraham Lincoln to Julius Cesar to James Dean. Good Lord, Jim Morrison was the complete opposite of gay. Stop trying to dig for something that wasn't there.
