Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij has confirmed to to Out magazine that he is a homosexual, also known as 'gay' to the Middle America. While modern indie and alt music fans are 'supportive' of homosexuals, extreme conspiracy theorists wonder if he is not actually a homosexual, but was forced by his PR Agent to 'come out' to generate press after Vampire Weekend's #1 hit album Contra. Rostam also launched a 'tumblr blog' of his life.

Rostam joins Edward Droste and Owen Pallett as two of the most influential 'power gay' alternative celebrities.

Kele Okereke of Bloc Party is also a confirmed homosexual.

In addition, both members of the XX, Romy Madley Croft & Oliver "Ollie" Sim are rumored to be 'openly homosexual' but don't 'use it' as a PR tool [via being 'all about the music'].

Are indie/alt websites allowed to talk about the sexuality of artists, or will they just make a 'generic' supportive statement in order to stay in the 'good graces' of Vampy Weekend?
Worried that alt celeb sexual gossip might be 'stooping too low', but important to 'get in on the meme' 4 the sake of the fan.
