was anthony geary gay

Anthony Geary was widely reported in recent years to be a gay man and, more precisely, to have identified as part of the LGBTQ community, with many outlets and fans referring to him as openly gay.

Public info and relationships

Several entertainment and fan outlets describe Anthony (Tony) Geary as an openly gay actor, especially in pieces published after the 2010s that discuss his legacy and impact on LGBTQ visibility in daytime television.

At the same time, biographical notes and fan discussions point out that he had past relationships with women, including a brief relationship with Elizabeth Taylor in the early 1980s, which leads some to characterize him as having been romantically involved with more than one gender.

Marriage and later life

Public biographical summaries state that Geary met Claudio Gama in 1995 and that the pair later married in 2019, with sources and fan reactions commonly referring to Gama as his husband.

After retiring from “General Hospital” in 2015, Geary lived a relatively private life in Amsterdam with Gama, and many tributes now frame that long- term partnership as his central love story.

Why there was confusion

For many years, Geary did not talk much about his sexuality in mainstream interviews, which allowed rumors and speculation to swirl in soap fandom circles.

Stories about past relationships with women, combined with his low‑key personal life in the Netherlands, led some fans to assume he might be bisexual, while others believed he was gay but preferred to keep it private until later in life.

Current general consensus

By the mid‑ to late‑2010s and into the 2020s, multiple write‑ups, FAQs, and discussion threads explicitly referred to him as gay or as having “come out” publicly, and fan reactions to his wedding anniversary posts include people expressing surprise but congratulating “him and his husband.”

Because he also acknowledged past relationships with women, the most careful way to describe it is that he was part of the LGBTQ community and commonly regarded as a gay man in his later public image, while exact labels beyond that are ultimately his own.
