No, Arthur Ashe was not a homosexual, however was very sympathetic to the gay and lesbian community and argued in the defense of the lifestyles.

Ashe contracted HIV through a blood transfusion he received during heart bypass surgery in the early 80s. He announced his disease in 1992, and died of AIDS-related pneumonia on February 6, 1993, leaving behind a wife and daughter.
