Lorne never embarked on any notable romantic relationships during his time on the show. Despite the character's flirting with Angel (and nearly every main character on the show), the series never made any explicit claims about Lorne's sexuality, and Andy Hallett himself intentionally left it vague, saying that Lorne loved "all humans." However, because Lorne is from an alternate dimension where even his own mother looks masculine and has a beard, the traditional norms of gender and sexuality may not really apply. Howhever, after Winifred Burkle's death, he said to a bartender that the woman that he loves was dead.
