This kids bugs me. I don't much care if he's gay or not but I find his coy act beyond annoying...

So Mika graces the cover of Out Magazine...but he's not out! Well, neither were Jodie Foster or Anderson Cooper so I guess that doesn't really matter. So this is what Mika tells the mag regarding all the speculation:"Anyone can label me, but I'm not willing to label myself...Anybody who says that I don't talk about sexuality or that I don't politically sexualize my music because of taboos, because of being afraid of [not] selling records, is completely wrong. I've made a record that doesn't compromise in any way what I'm allowed or not allowed to say in my lyrics."
Uh, OK. So you gay or what?
Towleroad.com reports that OUT originally requested Mika for the cover of their April issue, in order to coincide with the release date of his album in the U.S., but were refused. According to their source, Mika's "handlers" wanted to do a cover but only if it came out a few months down the road, because they were concerned about breaking into the mainstream market were Mika pigeonholed as a "gay artist" right out of the gate.

I see. They sounds like absolute geniuses.
