He's not gay, he's married and has two kids.

[TheBoss2332]

@dusty6467 He is not married and he does not have any children (that he has said anything about).

@TheBoss2332 asthmatickitty(dot)com/images/­sufjanstevens/sufjan_xmas_denn­yrenshaw(dot)jpg This may be some indication of his martial status + kids.

[TheBoss2332]

@NightRanger77 No, that photo shoot was staged. That is not his wife or children but I think that image is what confuses a lot of people.

[cinestar2]

@TheBoss2332 If that one facebook account that wears is name is his real account, then it says he is engaged to some woman that's also on facebook. who knows.

[TheBoss2332]

@cinestar2 I don't know what page you are referring to but it's probably fake.

Why the hell do people care if Sufjan is gay or not? Does that give you some kind of smug satisfaction? Just enjoy the beautiful music his beautiful soul has gifted us, and keep your prejudices to yourself :)

Doesn't he sing about Jesus? Chicago, You are the rake, to be alone with you, out of egypt etc (Hebrew Bible reference), and many others all seem to be about and coincide with Christian theology. though, i am very glad that he doesn't call his music christian music. That word is a blinder for a lot of people. He gets to the raw essence of Christ with his music. Praise the Father, the Creator of music and all things good! Peace!

@starkDeath I can see how you would think he's self-absorbed here, but he does make the point that he uses personal history as a starting point because he feels it's the most reliable. He always works with lots of people and having been lucky enough to have seen him live in Dublin, he was fun and outgoing and very warm. But as a true artist, he must be introspective too, don't you think?

He's not gay. He has a girlfriend. He's a beautiful individual. Geez ppl.

[TheBottleofsand]

I don't care if he's gay or not. But what pisses me off is that people assume that just because he's not married or doesn't have children, this means he's gay. Grrr :L

[handal1973]

He was born in 1st July 1975 as I'm !

Homophobic Christians abound.

@iwantsifegold its you

[jarabaa]

Why are so many people so passionately, profoundly determined to prove that ... he ... is ... not ... gay? Why is it necessary to be absolutely sure 24 hours a day that Sufjan Stevens is 101% heterosexual? I don't get it. Is it really necessary to know that a singer is heterosexual in order to enjoy his music?? Is only music by heterosexuals worth listening to? I can't figure this thing out.

@starkDeath

I see is a shame he has potential yet he is not going as far as he does.

[starkDeath]

@iwantsifegold I see where you're coming from, but I don't think he sounds like a jackass so much as he is speaking for the camera: he is not being real. Eventually when he starts talking about the Detroit music influence his eyes light up a little bit- he also (from this interview) just looks like a very self-absorbed person. Some people are.

[davidlimabrasil]

The only reason I wish he was / is gay its because we could make the perfect couple, Im sure of it =)
