Was Jose Rizal gay

No, he was not. Rizal had many girlfriends, somewhat of a playboy and attracted many young women.

Well, have you read the El Filibusterismo? Did you notice the 'homosexuality thing in it.? And why do you think he posed in Luna's painting as a lady (ala-Monalisa) and he even volunteered to pose that way! Don't you think we misinterpreted his being "lampa" when he was young? What if he was not "lampa" after all; that he just had a stronger feminine side? And about his many relationships with his opposite sex, why didn't even one of these relationships succeed? Lastly, try to go over his letters to his male friends and his 'girlfriends' and compare them. You'll find his letters to his male friends were more passionate than his letters to his girlfriends. Now, was he gay? It's up to you to decide. Besides no one really knows.
