Martin Short is gay right?

He's always pinged the me.

You seem... dimwitted, OP

No, he isn't. He was married to the love of his life for a very long time and she died of cancer I think. He's Canadian isn't he?

I love him!!! I love him so much!!!!

R1 omg! I didn't see that! You made me laugh!

I think I love you too.

He's pretty obviously straight.

Are you American, OP?

I find older American people don't understand that American standards of "masculinity" and "heterosexuality" are based on action hero tropes from the 1980s and westerns since the dawn of cinema.

So basically made up bullshit.

Short is basically a straight Canadian comic like Rick Moranis or Jim Carrey.

Not like Mike Meyers, though.

I have adored him since the early 80s.

This is weirder than it sounds. I was a 10-year-old in rural Georgia in the early 80s. Somehow stumbled across him on SCTV in the middle of the night on some UHF channel.

I think Martin Short is great

As others have said, not gay. But a cool and funny guy.
