I do not watch this anime much, but I always read on sites and blogs that
Naruto is gay and passionate about another character, Sasuke.

Is this true?

Is Naruto homosexual?


Naruto is not gay.

You're right when it comes to him being passionate about Sasuke, but that is
only because Naruto thinks of Sasuke as his older brother, since he himself
has no family and loses someone he could call his family later in the anime.
He is passionate about Sasuke because of the bond that he created with him and
won't let that bond go no matter what.

Naruto isn't homosexual as in preferring the same sex since at the end of the
series, Naruto marries Hinata and has 2 children, Boruto and Himawari. Sasuke
too gets married to Sakura and has a child named Sarada.

However, like any fandom, there is also those who like/love same-sex
[shipping](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shipping). Naruto
did, however, help fans along that in the third episode of the anime [_"Sasuke
and Sakura: Friends or
Foes?"_](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sasuke_and_Sakura:_Friends_or_Foes%3F)
(which adapts the third chapter of the manga), in which Naruto and Sasuke
kiss.

This results in Sakura getting pissed off, commenting on how Naruto just stole
Sasuke's first kiss which she wanted.

Naruto considers Sasuke both his best friend and his rival. It is a difficult
relationship and he's been known to obsess over Sasuke during the whole anime.

A very good example of such obsession occurs when Sasuke leaves. Naruto
literally abandons everything else (including his love for Sakura) for the
next few years to train in order to get him back. The fact that whenever he
sees a glimpse of him he shouts his name like a maniac doesn't make his
obsession less obvious. Even Sakura (deeply in love with Sasuke) gives up on
him before Naruto does.

But that has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It's just obsessing over
someone, something that is most certainly not unheard-of in anime, where many
things are blown out of proportion. Naruto is straight.

People claim that he isn't gay, but they stick their fingers up each other's
butts when they do the "One Thousand Years of Death" and he does his "Sexy
Jutsu"!

He isn't openly gay, but there are gay sexual moments!

Naruto married and having two children doesn't mean he is not gay.

In a real life, closed people getting married to protect their sexual identity
or some of them thought their sexual can changed to heterosexual way. There is
no preference sexual because heterosexual is not a choice just the same as
homosexual is not a choice either.
