Gay Or Married With Wife?
For Glenn, having a wife was always out of the question. By his admission, he always knew of being gay. However, fearing backlash and criticism, he never discussed his sexuality.

After Gary, he began dating Jude Belanger. By elevating their romance to the next label, the duo then got married in 1998.
