Juan Gabriel: Was He Gay or Straight? Many pointed to Ricky Martin as a better example. And I’m going to tell you something, Fernando, I’m not a saint, but I’m also not the little devil that many think I am.

In a memoriam piece, Yezmin Villareal of the Advocate noted that Gabriel was indisputably an icon for queer Latinx folks.

As a young performer, he evaded any insinuations about his sexual identity. He was proudly flamboyant in an era, in a country, synonymous with machismo, and made its power wane through him being him—as I tweeted today, Mexican boys are taught to ridicule Juan Gabriel, while Mexican men learn to respect the legend.”

Before the interview ended, Gabriel commented as to how the industry delved to deeply into matters that shouldn’t interest them:

I think, today, television is asking too many loaded questions, pushing further for ratings.

Did He Ever Get Married?

With Netflix’s ‘Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will’ being a documentary series underscoring the life and career of the legendary Latin musician, we get a documentary series like no other. That’s because it incorporates not only audio-video footage from his own archives but also exclusive interviews with those closest to him to reveal different aspects of who he really was.

To begin with, he was born in Juarez, had a home in Juarez and also had a home in El Paso. What I say is what I feel, whether anyone likes it or not.

I think I am an artist. Because everything that one does is what stays, what matters. “To queer Latinos, El Divo de Juarez symbolized that it is possible to exist outside of the confining expectations of gender and sexuality.

One day, it would be okay

Juan Gabriel was the kind of gay my mother could love and one I was not: a twirling sequined sensation who adored mothers and sang to them about their dead children.

I didn't have the language to identify as queer until I could buy my own Juan Gabriel Bellas Artes CDs. By then, I was singing his songs at gay bars, Esta Noche in San Francisco or Arena in LA, with all the rest of his queer fans who knew his songs by heart. Gay men were outcasts, clowns and predators. And [I’ve learned] that I’m not a liar.

Their emotions were two-dimensional, almost non-human, and non-humans were easier to persecute.

I needed to see a role model for a way to exist in the world that was not fraught with danger, isolation, or heartbreak. His music taught me something about intimacy and joy, heartache and longing, about how to be queer and Mexican, how to love my mother, my lovers, and myself.

Juan Gabriel will certainly be one of those timeless talents, whose lyrics and music appealed to a range of identities. Juan Gabriel never tamed his feminine appearance nor his flamboyant dancing, despite the gay rumors throughout his career.”

Gustavo Arellano of OC Weekly, agrees. “Gabriel is without comparison—and while the same was true of his recently deceased peer in gender-fucking, Prince, there is simply no parallel to JuanGa (what everyone called him, and how I’ll refer to him here).
