Was Aaron Hernandez Gay?

The late NFL player Aaron Hernandez's sexuality was a subject of speculation. According to his brother Jonathan Hernandez, Aaron came out to their mother before his suicide. Law enforcement officials suggested that his desire to keep his sexuality a secret could have been a motive in the murder of his friend Odin Lloyd. 

Aaron's ex-fiancee and college girlfriend denied the rumors of his being gay, but his lawyers stated they knew he was gay. The documentary "Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez" explored his sexuality, connecting his paranoia and reluctance to admit his sexuality. 

The documentary speculatively connects Hernandez's paranoia to his unwillingness to admit his sexuality, with O'Callaghan saying:

“I can't imagine if I had actually acted on my natural urges to get with other guys. If I'd actually done that, the paranoia that would've been in my mind to make sure that I would cover my tracks.”

During his second trial, prosecutors wanted to discuss his sexuality, but his attorney argued against it, and the judge ruled in their favor. Jonathan Hernandez's book "The Truth About Aaron" further discussed his brother's struggles with his sexuality, aiming to help others.

Jonathan said he wrote the book with the hope of helping others. 

"I just hope that people can understand and appreciate the value of seeking help and understanding that you're not weak," he said. "It's actually courageous."
