The rumor mill swore he was gay. He himself denied it and Liza claimed they had a "normal" relationship. OTOH, most people saw him as a crass opportunist who was using Liza for financial gain just like Judy was used. Another take on this is that in gay circles Liza who's mother was an icon to gays is considered a gay's trophy wife.

Ahhhh yes, A trophy wife and rich too. That would explain his attraction to her, but what could she have possibly seen in him, given that she's been clean and sober for quite some time?

Yes,Judy Garland was a icon to gay's, as well as Barbara Streisand.
