I know its been rumored, but I was just wondering if it was true that Capcom wrote Zangief's character as a homosexual?

if they wrote him as being homosexual then why did they make him turn into metal during the capcom vs marvel series? Doesn't seem too gay to me!

He's a big fat wrestler guy, who's favoured move is to pick up the enemy upside down, so that they face is always dangerously close to his crotch. Man or woman.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I forget even how the rumor began (there was an image in an art book somewhere or something that hinted to the possibility), but I do recall hearing confirmation that he is actually straight. Who said it and where it came from, again, I cannot recall.

We need more fictional, burly wrestlers in our fighting games these days. Sheesh.

We certainly aren't like that. More like SUPER hairy chested wrestlers.

Eagle is gay, being a tribute to Freddy Mercury which was the lead singer in Queen. And in Capcom VS SNK 2: Mark of the Millenium 2001 Eagle and Zangief has a special intro.
If you watch closely (at 02:07) you will see that they both are spinning at the same direction, so yes, I think that is a way to say that he indeed is gay. So what?

Eagle & Rock Howard also has a special intro where Eagle comments on Rock's beauty, and another one with Morrigan where he says that her succubus powers won't work on guys like us. (Us gays)

The imagery is certainly fairly gay, but Zangief is a fictional character.

I know someone who used to work for Sesame Street, and they get calls all the time about Bert and Ernie.  There is a standard answer to these inquiries:

"Bert and Ernie are puppets.  They have no sexual orientation."

Yes, but the hammer of logic will always crush the eggs of fictional hypothesizing, and that's just no fun at all.

EGM had an article on their Top 10 gay video game characters. Zangief was like number 3 or something because in one of the original games he said  he did not like girls in bikinis. Interpret it as you will. It was an old issue from like a year or 2 ago Idk if I even still have it anymore.

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Zangief is giving a love interest, Rainbow Mika.

He's a game character, he doesn't need a sexual background...
