I was reading an old spin article and it seems to allude that Maynard was gay, just curious.

I don't think it's been publicized. TOOL is very adamant about the fact that it's about the music, not them personally.
I can tell you that he has a son named 'Devo' who was born in 1995 and that he recently has become engaged to his girlfriend.

Here is the source of my question
Clearly, Keenan has got the whole art-rock thing perfectly wired. He
recognizes the plight of bands hoping to freshen cock-rock postures with
post-Cobain angst. But he suggests looking a bit further back for inspiration
and, more boldly, rethinking the testosterone impulse. "I think bands like
Queen and Judas Priest ended up shining out of the crowd back then," he says.
"I think the vulnerability and emotional aspect in their heavy music was
reconizable because it was genuine. 'Cause you figure, Rob (Halford) and
Freddie (Mercury), being gay, and they can't say it out loud, that's a lot of
genuine frustration, genuine passion." Do not hold your breath waiting for
another current rock singer to champion the transcendent value of a gay
frontman.
Keenan's ideas of frustration and passion were formed growing up with a
secret in a small town. The son of two Midwestern high school teachers, he was
a varsity wrestler, a track athlete, and a deeply closeted Joni Mitchell fan.
"You couldn't really bust out Joni Mitchell in high school," he recalls. "You
had to play the Knack, AC/DC, and the Cars."

I think it was alluding to the fact that he is very embracing of emotion in music. Just the fact that it came to him in the form of people who were openly gay expressing those emotions might just be coincidence, but it might not.
Maynard's music is extremely emotional so that's one reason why they might have said this.

I think it's odd that people give a sh!t. Listen to the damn music if you like it, and if not don't. Whether he is gay, bangs animals, believes in UFO', whatever hasn't changed a thing about the music. And I really can't stand Tool!

I agree. I own a Queen album, would that make me gay? Hell, if Maynard is gay, I wouldn't care. I still love that crazy bastard. The music is what's important. People seem to lose sight of this.
I am also a Marilyn Manson fan and some people will never let me live that down. Let me tell ya, people sometimes.....

Both of you please exit this thread right now. Your penance is to listen to every TOOL release.
You'll thank me in the end.

him being gay or not, have nothing to do with how great i think the music is, it was just a question. and i do think they are one of the only bands left from the early-mid 90s hard rock music genre.
