Andy Dick:
Yes, he has publicly identified as bisexual (and at times has used broader terms like pansexual). He’s spoken about this openly in interviews over the years.
Jon Lovitz:
No. Jon Lovitz has never publicly identified as gay. He’s generally described himself as straight and has not said otherwise. A lot of the speculation around him has been rumor or comedy-culture gossip rather than anything he’s claimed.
So the clean answer is: Andy Dick openly queer; Jon Lovitz not.
They have a feud which makes them both seem gay
What you’re really reacting to isn’t sexuality so much as tone.
Their feud reads as camp, theatrical, overwrought, and intensely personal. That combination triggers a certain cultural shorthand people lazily label as “seems gay,” even when it has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
A few things are happening at once:
Andy Dick’s persona is chaotic, boundary-erasing, emotionally exhibitionist. He weaponizes intimacy, oversharing, and provocation. That already scrambles people’s ability to read him in conventional masculine terms.
Jon Lovitz’s response is melodramatic, wounded, moralistic, and performative. He doesn’t shrug it off. He litigates it publicly. That makes it feel less like a barroom beef and more like a broken relationship.
The feud itself is relational, not competitive. It’s about betrayal, respect, loyalty, and humiliation, not dominance or status. Culturally, those registers get coded as “romantic” or “camp” rather than “straight male rivalry.”
So you end up with something that feels like:
an ex-lover grievance
a theater-world spat
a sitcom arc stretched into real life
That vibe is what people misread as sexual.
In reality, it’s two comics from the same era whose identities were built on performance, attention, and fragile ego, colliding in public. One spiraled into self-destruction. The other took it personally and never let it go. That dynamic will always read as intimate and excessive, regardless of orientation.
In short:
It doesn’t “seem gay.”
It seems showbiz, neurotic, and deeply unmasculine by modern stoic standards, which people then flatten into a crude label.
The feud feels less like a fistfight and more like a divorce, and that’s what unsettles people.
