EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK: Mika Tells Instinct, “Yeah, I’m gay.” PDF Print
Written by Instinct Staff | Friday, 03 August 2012

Many likely remember a 2009 Dutch magazine cover featuring pop star Mika with the sprawling headline “Mika Clears Things Up: Call Me Bisexual.” 

The only problem was that the story, which he calls “disappointing,” didn’t clear things up at all because it wasn’t exactly what he intended to say.

Earlier this week, in a world exclusive, Mika sat down with Instinct to set the record straight (so to speak): “If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah. Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And it’s only through my music that I’ve found the strength to come to terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This is my real life.”

For more with Mika, including his first public comments about his relationship and the role he feels celebrities play as representatives for the LGBT community, check out the upcoming September issue of Instinct Magazine—coming soon.

Some of those facebook comments are plain mean. You guys should delete them. This should be celebrated, not have bitchy gays being typical bitchy gays.

Mika! I am proud and happy for you! Everyone has the right to live life the way you want! I learned something from you and your songs, to be yourself and not caring what other people say.
Te quiero Mika

It's been a long time coming. When he first broke out in mainstream music in 2006 rumors spread that he was gay. I've watched his evolution to this point and I'm glad he's finally comfortable with his homosexuality.

I'm so happy he finally feels comfortable about who he is. I understand it's been hard for him, it's been a struggle since he didn't want to be forced to come out by the press. He wanted to wait until he was ready to say that he's gay.
I think most people guessed that he was so it's not a big deal, but now he can truly be himself, love his boyfriend more openly, and the media can concentrate on his wonderful music from now on
