Paddy Mayne didn't ever confirm his sexuality, and rumours he was gay appear to be speculation arising from authors and historians that has never been substantiated. According to the Irish Post (opens in new tab), Eoin McGonigal was Mayne's best friend and possibly his only confidante.

If I remember correctly Alan Turing was also gay.
Just having a bit of fun that's all.

Now come on lads read it again. The BBC made this series and IMPLIED that the toughest member of the group was gay. I just went along with it for a bit of fun to show that this is exactly what the BBC did. And it turned out that they had to imply that Paddy Mayne was gay.
My emojis was just me laughing about this. Yes I put up a quote because that was on the Rogue Hero's site but jeeze I didn't expect to be on the receiving end of a load of negative comments for predicting what the BBC were going to do.

Ah well..........
