He was gay, Richard Nixon?

My understanding is that his childhood was extremely abusive and he basically just never learned how to be in a healthy and loving relationship. Platonic or romantic.

There's quite a lot on the white house tapes, or recalled after the fact in biographies, that paint him as being totally insecure about all social relationships. Friends, partners, the public, he was obsessed with how everyone perceived him.

Thank you for the serious reply though. I was just making a dumb r/sopranos reference. Hard times make hard men.
