Hozier is he gay
Grammy-nominated Andrew Hozier-Byrne, or Hozier, has made a dominant video statement supporting queer marriage in Ireland. The Wicklow-born singer, whose anti-homophobia anthem and video for Take Me To Church (also turned into a beautiful David LaChapelle video featuring Ukrainian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin), has spoken out in advance of the referendum on 22nd May. He states: &#;I firmly believe that the upcoming referendum is not simply a gay rights issue, or a civil rights issue, but one of basic human rights. I think it&#;s one that reflects on all of us and it&#;s an issue that deserves everyone&#;s involvement.&#;
Hozier goes on to say that the straight community should support the LGBT collective to make &#;a evident statement that we value the equal treatment of people on our shores&#; and he sees it as a time for &#;our generation to endure up and take into our own hands the future of our nation and its values.&#;
He encourages everyone who believes in equal love and anyone who hates religious or &#;family values&#; fear-mongering to join him in the vo

When a music freak (lover) like me finds out that one of her favourite musicians is coming to her town and that there are still some tickets available, even though they apparently had already been available on the internet for a while, it is time for a party, and of course a modern article to lay the artist and his work in the spotlight.
Another reason for writing about this artist is to make sure this man will not disappear after one great clap . That one tune made him known for obvious reasons; it is incredible, and certainly worth taking a closer look at, but it is most definitely not his only piece of art.
About two years ago, I started listening to the music of Andrew Hozier-Byrne, mainly known as “Hozier”. Thisyear-old limited and down-to-earth guy from Ireland became enormously famous in the last two years. In those two years he has toured around the world and in he even won the Song of the Year award for “Take Me To Church” at the BBC Music Awards. It was that anthem that I heard on the radio two years ago, when it had just been released. I l
Accidental Sapphic Icon Hozier Stands With His LGBTQI+ Fans
A scant days before his 33rd birthday, Andrew Hozier-Byrne is in the woods.
From the second we meet, both clad in leather jackets and walking fast, we’re immediately talking activism and famous person and how a person can stumble into both. I head him to a tiny gated sanctuary off the main queenly of southernmost Central Park. I ask him, “How rugged perform you feel?” as we scale the hills and climb up the mossy paths. He’s not sure.
With two billion streams of his breakthrough hit “Take Me To Church” on Spotify, and RIAA Diamond certification of the same song — not to mention new music plans that include a new EP just released this March, visuals launching to accompany, and a new album and tour on the horizon — Hozier is a major star. It&#;s just to say he&#;s adored by millions, with no significant borders when it comes to demographics. But the interesting thing is that his online fandom society is a distinctly, vocally homosexual one.

Take Me To Church is a masterpiece, I know. And it’s true it can be interpreted as a gay anthem of autonomy from the oppression of church and religious organizations.
But the song isn’t about homosexual relationships. It’s about sex; sexuality. And bringing down that weight of shame that church has put on people by undermining that very natural part of the human experience.
It’s true that gay people are the most affected by this, but as a whole, Hozier doesn’t write about gay people specifically.
The music video wasn’t even directed or conceived by him. And it’s about something that was going on in Russia.
Hozier supports LGBT+ rights, true.
Hozier’s songs are about LGBT+ people, false.
He’s not gay, he’s said it in interviews before and always writes about a female lover.
He’s just an amazing musician that stands for his ideals and writes harmony that can be interpreted by every single fucking person.
