He Flipped Flopped About His Sexuality


LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance in the 1980s weren’t what they are today, and Little Richard distanced himself from his early embrace of homosexuality. That continued until his death in 2020 at the age of 87.

“Anybody come in show business, they’re going to say you’re gay,” he said in a 2017 YouTube interview (above) with the Three Angels Broadcasting Network. “Are you straight? Are you a homosexual something? They’re going to say it. But God, Jesus, he made men, men, he made women, women, you know? And you’ve got to live the way God wants you to live.”
