Paul McCartney discussed John Lennon sexuality rumors in old interview

"She rang me shortly after John died and said, 'You know, I think John might have been gay.' McCartney said of Ono's call. Ono made a similar claim in a 2015 interview with the Daily Beast. McCartney said he doubted Ono's account and believed it may have been an expression of grief rather than a statement of fact."

"Brian would ask him [on vacation] as a homosexual thing. A good-looking boy, who Brian fancied. They went down to Spain, had a fun time. No doubt John would play into anything. I personally didn't think anything had happened. Certainly never heard about anything happening."

"I'd slept with John very often, but there was never anything. McCarthy said. He explained that Ono once expressed concerns about whether Lennon may be gay, during their years together in the 1960s, he and Lennon spent time with many women, and that nothing in Lennon's behavior ever raised questions in his mind."

Paul McCartney addressed rumors about John Lennon's sexuality in a 2015 Vanity Fair interview. McCartney revealed that Yoko Ono called him shortly after Lennon's 1980 death suggesting Lennon might have been gay. McCartney expressed skepticism about Ono's claim, attributing it to grief rather than fact. He acknowledged that speculation had previously centered on Lennon's relationship with manager Brian Epstein, who was gay, including a 1963 trip to Spain. McCartney emphasized that during their years together, he observed nothing in Lennon's behavior to suggest homosexuality and stated they spent considerable time with women.
