   According to my blog stats, &#;Jonas Kaufmann gay&#; is one of the most popular search terms that makes people stumble upon this site. So I thought I&#;d clarify the issue to my leading knowledge.

   
   Sorry, but: he&#;s not gay &#; although every gay man I know wishes he was (and I&#;m with you, guys &#; I&#;ve been through this with more than one dashing mezzo soprano. Most of them were straight AND online dating brass players. &#;Really, what is it with mezzos and brass players??). To quote my baby brother: &#;Jonas Kaufmann? &#; RRrrrrr!&#;

   A (gay) friend of mine was subbing in the costume department when Kaufmann sang Alfredo in &#;Traviata&#; in Stuttgart a not many years back and came home with the news that Kaufmann is married (to a woman) and has two kids.
