It didn't 100% signal homosexuality, but it signaled that something was odd, with homosexuality as a possibility. I'll also note that a lot of gay people from that era report that they felt pressured to be heterosexually married to fit in.

One had "an arrangement" with his wife, and two "came out" in their 50's and had extremely messy divorces.
