I can't recall him ever denying his sexuality, he just never spoke about it, until 'outed' by Matthew Parris on Newsnight.
As far as I remember he always voted for gay rights in the House of Commons, which is more than Matthew Parris did when he was in Thatcher's government, from his own little closet.
As for today's news about Mandy's return to government, considering his unpopularity with the public, and all the associated sleaze, I think it shows only one thing, desparation.
