Was James Dean Gay?

James Dean is a well known American actor who has starred in movies that have been forever immortalized. Two such films are preserved in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, 'Rebel without a Cause' and 'Giant'. He is known to be a cultural icon and because of this beloved actor's premature death caused by a car crash, Dean only had 3 films, two of which has left a remarkable impact on society.
Dean was one of the very few actors who were nominated for an Oscar after death. In the year of 1999 he was ranked 18th by the American Film Institute as best male movie star in the list of "AFI's 100 years... 100 Stars".
'Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean' is a new movie that talks about the legendary, James Dean before he ever became a star. People with the question "was James Dean gay?" would probably like to give this movie a look as it seems to lean towards this curious subject. The writer and director, Matthew W. Mishory creates a whole new approach to the loved and respected late actor. There is some belief that he had participated in homosexual acts only to give a powerful boost to his career however, this belief is debatable.
Was James Dean gay? There has been a good amount of arguments about this. Even though the actor had participated in gay acts, he was commonly seen as being bisexual because he was most known to be a ladies' man. The movie 'Joshua Tree' certainly leans towards the sexuality of the late actor and such rumors can change from a simple 'yes, he was gay' to a 'No, he was bisexual'. These reports can vary, all depending on who says it or who it is you ask.
The upcoming film indeed shows that Dean is bisexual and it doesn't skirt the actors rumored bisexuality, it embraces it. Actor James Preston takes the role of James Dean in the film along side with Robert Gant and Erin Daniels. Even if the film doesn't quite answer the question "was he gay?", and there appears to be no conclusion solid enough for any answers, the film is still judged as a win. Even so, the awkward farm boy that he was still captivates and fascinates the audience. Are the rumors fact or fiction? With the actor gone no one will ever know.
