"From the time he died until the 1960s, Valentino's sexuality was not generally questioned in print.[58][59] At least four books, including Hollywood Babylon, suggested that he may have been gay despite his marriage with Rambova.[60][61][62][63] [64] In fact, the marriages to Acker and Rambova, as well as the relationship with Pola Negri, only serve to add to the suspicion that Valentino was gay and that these were "lavender marriages", as all have documented lesbian relationships.[65] Such books gave rise to claims that Valentino had a relationship with Ramón Novarro, despite Novarro stating they barely knew each other.[58][61] Hollywood Babylon recounts a story that Valentino had given Novarro an art deco dildo as a gift, which was found stuffed in his throat at the time of his murder. No such gift existed.[58][60][61] These books also gave rise to claims that he may have had relationships with both roommates Paul Ivano and Douglas Gerrad, as well as Norman Kerry, openly gay French actor Jacques Herbertot and André Daven.[66] However, Ivano maintained that it was untrue and both he and Valentino were heterosexual.[19] Biographers Emily Leider and Allan Ellenberger generally agree that he was most likely straight.[67][68]
Further supposed evidence that Valentino was gay are documents in the estate of the late author Samuel Steward indicating that Valentino was a sexual partner of his.[69] However, evidence found in Steward's claim was subsequently found to be false, as Valentino was in New York on the date Steward claimed a sexual encounter occurred in Ohio.[70]
Shortly before his death, Valentino was dating actress Pola Negri. Upon his death, Negri made a scene at his funeral, claiming they had been engaged. But Valentino had never mentioned this engagement to anyone else.[52]" Żródło: wikipedia. org
