Ofcourse he is! It's obvious, did you see the way he flirted with Richard when they were racing Jeremy on the Ferry? And when they had to share a bed when they went caravnning he said it was romantic! Besides. When they are teasing hamster about Oliver, James' typical holiday romance involves a moustache. How many women who a man would take a fancy to have a moustache as their defining feature?

Ha Oliver... but no, I'm fairly certain he's straight. They're just teasing him about being gay.

I think James is not a gay. Even though all stuffs he did or said are sometimes maybe little bit strange. James, Jeremy nor Richard are not gays.

He has a girlfriend her name is Sarah Frater and she-s a columnist or something like that!

I think that he is because when they were doing the 24 hour endurance race, James May had the gay pride flag next to his name on the car.

he's not gay, maybe people thought he was gay because he's not married. anyway, he is my favorite presenter on Top Gear!! :D

Dating a music and dance critic, gives him lots of time to attend musical theater and sing showtunes.

he does the most sensible choices! Only a real man would make those, and the things he makes on those specials are awesome!

You know I've become quite a fan of Grand Tour, Top Gear, and also James May's old shows "Toy Stories" and "May's Man Lab" -- it's a little more overt in Top Gear, but throughout both those shows there's consistent little allusions to him maybe being gay. Double entendres, little jokes with some of his "friends" on the shows... Sometimes it's really subtle, sometimes it's not, but I feel if you watch any of the shows he's on and actually think to notice little remarks and jokes that allude to him being gay, you'll see there's a ton of them. So many that I can't believe I'm just projecting them.

Given that he has dated women publicly, and there's really not a whole lot of reason for him to be in the closet about it, I don't think he actually is. But it's definitely a running joke he and maybe some of his writers have been messing around with. In fact I don't think they do it so much on Grand Tour, which would make sense because in recent years that sort of inside joke has gotten a little dicey in the eyes of the mainstream.

Maybe he's bi or something like that. Either way, IMO they've been having a little fun with that planting seeds probably intending to have the fanbase asking themselves the same question you just posted. He does seem to fit that stereotype of a certain type of modern gay gentleman - reserved, sensible, a bit nerdy, but proud of his gender and committed to upholding a certain male standard and ideal, an admiration for the male gender that dips into the romantic/erotic. Someone who's not not really flamboyant or flowery but who's got a touch of subdued eccentricity in his personality. And then a lot of his male friends on his two solo shows seem to come off the same way. I dunno, for whatever reason that seems like a certain type of gay dude, honestly the best kind of gay dude IME. And it's also the type of gay dude that wouldn't worry too much about coming off as straight or gay or whatever, the kind of guy that probably doesn't see it as the world's business what his sexual tastes are, you know?

But then again, maybe that's just because he's British. British men seem to be a little strange that way.
