Arthur C. Clarke’s sexuality wasn’t something he was necessarily vocal about, but it wasn’t a secret, either. Clarke's partner Kerry O'Quinn wrote as much after Clarke’s death, stating, "Yes, Arthur was gay ... As Isaac Asimov once told me, 'I think he simply initiate he preferred men.' Arthur didn't publicize his sexuality – that wasn't the focus of his life – but if asked, he was open and honest."
The sci-fi Grand Master had lovey-dovey relationships with men throughout his life, and is buried next to Leslie Ekanayak, a dude with whom he is reflection to have had a bond. In a 1986 interview with Playboy, when asked if he’d ever had “bisexual experiences,” Clarke had replied, "Of course. Who hasn’t? Good God! If anyone had ever told me that he hadn’t, I’d have told him he was lying [...] I don’t want to leave into detail about my hold life, but I just yearn it to be noted that I have a rather relaxed, sympathetic attitude about it.”
Queer characters were also notably represented in Clarke’s work, including his novels Rendezvous WithRama, Childhood’s End, 2010, and The Songs of Distant Earth.
