While there is no definitive proof, the evidence suggests that he had close relationships with several male courtiers.
Evidence for his sexuality
Relationships with male courtiers
James had close relationships with George Villiers, Robert Carr, and Esmé Stuart.
Behavior
James' behavior towards his favorites was considered unusual and suggestive even by the standards of his time.
Letters
James' letters to Carr and Buckingham reveal sexual frustration and passion.
Context
It's important to consider that the terms "gay" or "bisexual" were not in use in the 16th and 17th centuries. At the time, sexuality was not used to construct identities as it is today.
Historians' views
Many historians now agree that substantial historical evidence suggests that James was likely either gay or bisexual.
