So is Mika gay or straight? I'm not sure we've ever cared one way or the other, but there has seemingly been much speculation regarding the popster's persuasions, speculation he's previously avoided addressing I think. But now he's told Gay&Night magazine that, if you must label his sexuality, he'll take the bisexual tag please.
Mika: "I've never ever labeled myself. But having said that; I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with... Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me".
Mika clearly doesn't like sexuality labels. Asked if being vague on the issue sent out the right message to teens trying to identify their sexual preference, he added: "There are ways of being a role model without having to always establish yourself with a label. Let's say if you're a sixteen year old guy, and you're not sure about your sexuality, you should be as free as you want. You shouldn't have to say, 'I'm gonna label myself in order to figure out what is going to make me happy in life'. You don't have to pigeonhole yourself all the time. You shouldn't stick yourself into any kind of constraints or limitations at all. And seriously, if 'bi' is the label that helps you do it, then do that... That's as close as I'll get to any label".
