Reply #13: I think it was explicitly stated once [View All]

In the later years, the show moved out of the department store when the staff inherited a hotel. The caretaker's daughter, an innocent lass, tried to share Mr. Humphries's bed with him since there was nowhere else to sleep. IIRC, at that point Mr. Humphries indicated this would not be appropriate, and made some reference to his liking women.

So the ultimate irony is that the most "homosexual" character turned out to be straight, at least as far as we could tell from his admissions.
