Josh Kiszka: “I’m in a loving, same-sex relationship”
In a lengthy Instagram post, the 27-year-old explained: “I’ve settled into a house in Tennessee. Lawmakers there are proposing laws that threaten the freedom of love. It’s imperative that I share my perspective. No not only for myself, but also in the hope that these will reach the hearts, minds and laws of Tennessee and beyond.”
Then the singer, who is often compared to Robert Plant, gets personal: “Because I’ve been in a loving, same-sex relationship with my partner for eight years.” Those around him have known this for a long time, but “it’s important to me to make this public,” Kiszka continued.
Under his post, Kiszka links to some Instagram profiles that advocate for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. “A lot of love has been bestowed on the LGBTQ+ community over the years, but we still have a lot of work to do. Here in Tennessee, in the country and in the world.”
For his open words, the rocker gets a lot of encouragement from his fans. Rob Halford, singer of heavy metal legend Judas Priest, is also gay and congratulates his fellow musician on his coming out: “I love you, Josh!” Another user wrote: “I can’t put into words how proud I am of you Josh. For years people have tried to insult you as gay and you have not let your happiness take you.”

Matter of the heart
“In Tennessee, where I have found a home, legislators are proposing legislation that threatens the freedom of love,” the Greta Van Fleet singer begins his statement. “It’s imperative that I speak my mind — not just for myself, but in hopes of changing hearts, minds and the law in Tennessee and beyond. These issues are particularly close to my heart because I have been in a same-sex romantic relationship with my partner for eight years. Those close to me are well aware of this, but it is important for me to share it publicly.”
The Greta Van Fleet musician continues, “Over the years, the outpouring of love for the LGBTQ+ community has been vocal. But there is still work to be done for LGBTQ+ rights in Tennessee, the country and the world. […] The LGBTQ+ community is a cultural pillar that continually champions positivity and acceptance through art, music, literature, film and—most importantly—law. The greatest gift to earthlings is our ability to love. And as we travel through time, may our greater understanding of the matter around and within us teach us to love even more deeply.”
