Was freddy fender gay

Despite what anyone thinks to be true or untrue, it is quite odd to dedicate a song such as "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights," to a male "partner, soul partner," if there were not some sort of something going on between them, especially in that era. Perhaps he didn't think about being recorded during his live performance, when he gave "Sir Douglas" a shout out. Either way his sexual preference places no bearing on the likeability of his tunes, but I, obviously was just as curious as you guys or I would not have found this thread.
