He speaks to USA Today about it here.
He also spoke about the album, and that whole Dante's Inferno theme. Read it here.
Hozier also spoke to NME:
Hozier feels that his public support of the LGBTQ+ rights is important because of the way that community gets used as a "scapegoat."
He tells NME, "There’s always been space in my work for my own conscience and the way I view our responsibilities to the shared society we live in. Also, I’m acutely aware -- increasingly aware -- that there’s always a portion of the population who are at risk of becoming scapegoated when things get difficult...
“Political leaders do not have easy answers for the enormous questions they’re faced with -- or even difficult answers, which are oftentimes more important for the difficult challenges that we all face with regard systems as they fail us collectively. And so oftentimes the easiest thing to do is hop on culture war issues, hop on a scapegoat [and] drum up some fear-mongering. And the minorities in that society are invariably the first to be targeted. I think we’re witnessing that increasingly with the LGBTQ+ community and particularly the trans community."
