He Was The Love Of My Life, Sylvester James Confirms Rumors Of The Decades
Sylvester James was openly gay….but did you know he had someone he confirmed was the love of his life….perhaps a secret lover? Surprising, given how much people hid their sexuality at the time….but he literally said it himself.
Now, before there was RuPaul, before there was Lil Nas X, there was Sylvester James….the gay icon. He lived his life unapologetically, at a time when being queer came with even more hate and ridicule than today.
From his troubled early life to his death from AIDS, Sylvester lived as an openly queer man, loving who he wanted, even when his lovers were more shy about being seen publicly.
