I'm a bit confused by your post. At first I thought you were asking whether I thought Brian Kellow was a lesbian or bi, but that made no sense. Then I thought perhaps you were asking about Merman. Then I wondered if you were asking about Rose Hovick. Anyway, you don't say who "she" is.

So, I think Brian Kellow was gay, but I'm not sure. I don't think he was a lesbian.

If most theatre historians think that Merman was a lesbian or bi, it's news to me. Of course, there have been rumors. Kellow thought she probably was never romantically or sexually involved with another woman. Jacqueline Susann seems to have been in love with Merman and to have wanted a romantic relationship with Merman, but Merman cut Susann out of her life when Susann made this clear. Susann took her revenge, but it doesn't seem to have hurt Merman at all professionally or even much personally. As often is the case with dead people about whom there were rumors, there's no way to prove anything one way or the other. There is much stronger reason to think that Alec Guinness, for example, was gay or bi than Merman, even though Guinness did his best to hide this from the world and may have been in a good degree of denial even to himself. I tend to think that if Merman had been a lesbian or bi, at least somewhat more evidence would have come forward.

If you meant Rose Hovick, yes, she seems to have been a lesbian or bi.
