Danny Glover, From One Wife To Other; Gay At the End?
Not many living actors in Hollywood can rival Danny Glover's filmography, which has showered moviegoers with some of the most memorable on-screen characters that the show-biz has ever seen.
With respect to his rising and successful career, the actor has been on the hot seat discussing his sexuality, which raised an ongoing question: Is Danny Glover Gay?
Is Danny Glover Gay?
In a recent interview, Danny shared some light on the accusations surrounding his sexuality.
The interview proceeded as how he was always confused about his sexuality and couldn't label himself as gay. Because he did not feel comfortable using the labels, whereas felt safe in the community itself. He stated:
“Man, I really don’t know...” Most of my college years were me being like, “I don’t know what I like.” I had friends who asked, “Are you gay?” And I’d be like, “I sort of feel like I am because I love this community.”
You know? But maybe I’m not? And I always was trying to figure out, “Am I weird for not wanting to label it?” Yet, also, I never felt completely safe in just one place."
So, that leaves room for exploration, and we cannot just assume the actor to be a gay man.
Adding to the gay/sexuality talks and instances, the suspicion rose when the images of the 75-year-old Danny resurfaced where he was kissing Civil Rights activist Harry Belafonte mouth to mouth.

If anything, that's a sign of strong friendship. Like his rumored gay buddy, Danny too is a staunch defender of The Freedom of Choice Act; gay rights, to be more specific. He was once quoted as saying:
"I think that men and women have the right to decide who their partners are going to be."
The Sorry To Bother You actor's social justice activism runs deep. Both his parents were NAACP members, and Danny himself, played an active role in the 60's Civil Rights Movement during his University days.
Apart from these questions and accusations, the star actor was also married twice.

“I’ve always been infatuated with Asake. She has a strong sense of morality, coupled with a strong sense of herself.”
