Out's "Glass Closet" Open for Mika?
You all heard about Out Magazine's big gay cover story for their May issue, that features a cover story that sort of outs Anderson Cooper and Jodie Foster? Yep, those tough customers at Out just aren't about to allow any celebs to remain in the closet who are really gay, but don't want to state it officially.
But then I heard in an off-handed way from someone behind the scenes that Out has conducted a cover story interview with rising pop star Mika (left) for an upcoming issue. Maybe that was the photo shoot that delayed Mika's in-store gig at the Borders here in NYC a couple of weeks ago (as reported by Queerty)?
As folks who've followed Mika know, the up-and-coming singer has heretofore been unwilling to openly declare his sexuality. He's even gotten death threats about his refusal to do so (which seems rather insane).
So, is Out putting him on the cover anyway? Are they promoting him and interviewing him even if he's not willing to discuss his sexuality? Or has Mika perhaps decided to talk frankly about his sex stuff in Out? Or maybe this is all a bunch of rumor and poppycock?
Guess we'll have to wait and see...
as long as hes out to himself and hes happy thats all that matters. who cares if he comes out to all of society. its no ones business. straight ppl dont go around declaring their hetero lifestyles. ideally all gays or bi celebs will eventually just show up at premiers with their partners and present it like its not a shocker. why do ppl need labels. im bi and frankly i dont care about ppls sexuality. ya its cool to find out who is like me in that facet but who cares. ps. MIKA is bi its a known fact amongst fans he doesnt hide his openness he just doesnt feed the idiotic tabloids.
