Another area of much speculation is Morrissey's sexuality. Many are of the opinion that his music has a lot of [[HomoeroticSubtext subtext]], though [[FanNickname Moz]] himself has said that he believes that sexual orientation doesn't matter. Indeed, his lyrics tend to be [[GenderIsNoObject gender- (and thus orientation-) neutral]]. Despite -- or perhaps due to -- his desire for privacy, debate still rages on as to his sexual orientation. Is he [[AmbiguouslyGay gay]]? Bisexual? Asexual? The best answer is perhaps simply that he's Morrissey.
His fans tend to be very loyal, much to the annoyance of the music press and some non-fans.
