Earvin Magic Johnson is a celebrated basketball player who evolved as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. His celebrated career has given him fame and money but the Los Angeles Lakers players aren’t unknown to discrimination. Remember when he got tested HIV positive in 1991 and he was heavily discriminated against for that instead of having all the support?

Who is Magic Johnson?Is Magic Johnson Gay? Rumors Post His HIVMagic Johnson’s Son Is Gay

Well, Magic had already been traumatized for years because of the treatment he received over the years. But now, rumors are circulating that Magic Johnson may have a different sexual orientation that the world may not be aware of. So, is Magic Johnson gay? We have found the answer to your query so you do not have to worry about any updates.

Who is Magic Johnson?

Earvin Johnson Jr. is a famous basketball player born on 14th August 1959. He is from Lansing, Michigan and the 62-years-old champ is the fourth child among six siblings plus he is the brother to three half-siblings. Johnson always expressed his interest in playing basketball and so, his parents encouraged him to pursue it. As a matter of fact, his father, Earvin Sr. was also an avid basketball player who realized Magic’s dreams and helped him to continue chasing them.

The star player got the nickname “Magic” at only 15 years old when he was in Everett High School. It was a writer named Fred Stable Jr., a writer for the Lansing State Journal who added a “Magic” to his name, and eventually, he proved his magical talent by earning an NBA draft in 1979. He is deemed to be one of the greatest players in history and he played as many as 13 seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers. Over the span of his career, Johnson has been awarded as 10-time NBA champion plus 3-time NBA Most Valuable Player awards. He is quite the name in the sports industry.

Is Magic Johnson Gay? Rumors Post His HIV

In 1991, Johnson got tested positive for HIV. Sadly, the results came positive after only two months of his marriage to Eartlitha “Cookie” Kelly. Yes, Johnson is married to the love of his life even to this date and they have been overcoming all the hardships together. The couple tied the knot in a very intimate ceremony held at Lansing and Thomas, Herbs William as well as Aguirre were on the guest list. However, that didn’t stop the rumors of Magic Johnson being gay. After the reports came out to be positive, Johnson had the worst time of his life. It was like a death sentence to him since his career almost got over and he was publicly humiliated.

While we continue to work toward a cure, it’s important to continue to fight against HIV and AIDS and show support for people living with both. We have to stop the discrimination against people living with HIV because everyone is deserving of love and respect.

Moreover, his wife was also pregnant with their child at the time. Luckily, she wasn’t infected with the same, and later on, their child was born. The couple has two beautiful children. 

The player confessed to having sexual relationships with multiple partners. Well, that led to the speculation about Magic being gay or bisexual. The sole reason for thinking so is that previously, the concept of HIV was completely opposite. It was believed that HIV can be only transmitted by gays. But over the years as time progressed, he educated and became an advocate for HIV-positive patients. He spread the awareness that HIV can happen if someone has multiple sexual partners and found the “Magic Johnson Foundation” in 1991.  

It has been 30 years since Magic was first detected with HIV and he is still very much healthy even at the age of 62 years. And of course, Magic Johnson is not gay as all of that was just a rumor.

Magic Johnson’s Son Is Gay

Johnson had a hard time learning about the fact that his son is gay. In 2010, EJ declared himself to be gay and the world got to know about his identity in 2013. It was initially hard for Magic to digest this fact. But with time, he understood his son’s feelings and accepted him for who he is.

During an exclusive interview with “Variety,” Magic said, “When you grow up in team sports, you’re thinking, ‘Is he gonna play sports? And then when I saw that he liked dolls and playing dress-up … ‘What are you doing?’ You get the other side too. A lot of people don’t love that I love my son. He changed me. He was so proud. This dude here is just so proud of who he is. As I grew older, as my wife talked to me, I couldn’t [judge EJ]. I had to accept who he was and who he wanted to be. He actually helped me get there. Because he was so proud. Cookie said, ‘Look in the mirror.’ I said, ‘You’re right.’ Because I’m proud of who I am. And he got it from me.”

These beautiful words from a father are enough to make one believe in love over anything. So, Magic is not gay but he has someone in his family, his own son who is gay and he is proud of that.
