Despite his marriage, there is considerable independent evidence that Horowitz was gay. He is credited with the ambiguous aphorism: "There are three kinds of pianists: Jewish pianists, homo***ual pianists, and bad pianists". It is believed he underwent treatment in the 1950s in a futile attempt to alter his ***ual orientation. In the early 1960s and 1970s, he underwent electroshock therapy for depression (Plaskin, Horowitz, pp338, 387).
