Is Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails gay?

Answer 1

He is probably gay, at least bi-sexual. I listened to NIN and bought all their stuff when I was young and nieve in the early nineties. When I was a bit older, I noticed lyrics like "when I suck you off, not a drop will go to waste", "it comes down to your kiss, your fist", "come come come you've gotta fill me up", "covered in hope and vaseline", "how did you get so big, how did you get so hard" and so on and so on.... The list is very long and I just refused to listen to it anymore. The name "Nine inch nails" is itself a reference to a penis. So how anyone can say he isn't is beyond me, because he is Cliff Richard in the making - staying in the closet and not coming out!

this answer has some points above, yet at the same time it make some weird assumption

"when I suck you off, not a drop will go to waste"

is referring to him having to "pleasing" a record company into selling his music

instead of him just being able to have freedom of expression

Marilyn Manson makes his own comment on this in a interview saying that he makes the record company "blow him"

"it comes down to your kiss, your fist"

refers to a love hate relationship....nothing remotely gay about that

"come come come you've gotta fill me up"

this one could be taken as gay how ever, but he could also be talking about god, or just fulfillment in something

"covered in hope and vaseline"

a lot of artists use the word Vaseline, even emenem who appears anti gay refers to "ass fu****g" in a lot of his songs.

but knowing Trent from his "starf***rs" song Vaseline and "hope" is more a refinance to models and like people in miss America or something of the sort.

"how did you get so big, how did you get so hard"

this one i well say is also verry gay sounding....of cource he could be referring from a girls prospective

what was funny what that a line from "march of the pigs" was missed

"take the skin and peel it back, now duesnt it make feel better.

wich is most likely talking about foreskin.

but to be honest, even Marilyn Manson

"i can be your little girl"

and Brian molko from placebo

"my sweet prince"

make lots of gay, trans, or bi comments in their songs.

but i know Trent's ex girl, and from her he is BI.

but though i would correct some things before just saying it

According to the interview listed bellow he is at least bi-curious. Not sure if hes followed up on that but it was taken in 1994 so a lot has happened since then.

Answer 2

I don’t know if Trent Reznor is gay but his boyfriend that worked as a waiter at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans most assuredly was gay.
