Huell Howser Gay?

Over the years, many people have asked me whether Huell Howser is gay. Here is what I know: He is friendly and gracious. He speaks with a drawl. He appears to be a bachelor. He is enthusiastic about California and encourages people to visit places they would never have otherwise thought to go. The Wikepedia website once stated he was a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, but that reference has since been taken down. A few years ago, a man on a Huell Howser message board once wrote that he attended a dinner with Mr. Howser and that Mr. Howser looked at him with a "gay look." Another writer indicated he saw Mr. Howser at a regular bar somewhere in the Palm Springs area laughing very loud. I once met Mr. Howser at Philippes French Dipped Sandwiches in Los Angeles, and he did not tell me he was gay. He has never been reported to have marched in a Pride parade, or made any overt displays of his orientation. Whatever he is, or is not, he keeps it to himself.
