was Dee Dee Ramone gay? I loved the Ramones, but always wondered about Dee Dee. Especially with the song 53rd and 3rd, that he wrote. He hung out in this area in New York, where are of the queers were. I know that he liked his heroine and am wondering if he was male prostituting himslef

He married a woman, so he probably wasn't gay. He could have been bisexual, but I don't think I've ever heard anything to suggest he had any interest in guys.
There are many claims that Dee Dee was bisexual from friends such as Danny Fields (first manager - also gay), Linda Stein (manager), Legs McNeil (co-founder of Punk Magazine and close friend) and many others. There is also a oft-quoted legend of Dee Dee working as a rent boy in New York before the Ramones career took off. This is supposedly the subject of the song from their 1st LP "53rd & 3rd".
