No he isn't homosexual. But it is rumored that he WAS. It goes that he was having an affair with royalty, a duke or prince of Russia, and was poisoned to keep it a secret.

Pete was gay as a nutcake. He actually married a woman but divorced because he couldn't cover up the truth. Want evidence? Read his signed letters to his benefactor.

Wikipedia says
I heard he was dead.
