this is just my onion, but hxc fundie xtianity has a thing about how ur supposed to channel all ur erotic energy into jesus/god & the general teachings get really really weirdly sexual about the "passion god has for us" like when we learn about song of songs etc. "god is my bf" is a v common theme in fundie xtian music.

so my personal belief if that sufjan really is gay, but that he's also deliberately playing with that "i love god/jesus in a pseudo-sexual way" thing bc OOPS he's also gay and loves his male partner in pseudo-spiritual way. does that make sense?

he was the only openly gay content i was allowed to get away w in my formative years lol

so sometimes he is singing 2 jesus and sometimes 2 his bf but usually to both, bc he is both filtering his experience of the divine through the prism of the earthly sexual love he has for his bf, and filtering his love for his bf through the prism of the divine/transcendent love he experiences for god
