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.

Mika, I adore you and your music! I only just learned about you and your music through the press about your coming out. Bravo for your strength and courage to be true to yourself! You're so talented and creative and have great musical hooks. You're my celebrity crush and have me wishing I were a 25 year old gay man! Unfortunately for me, I'm a 40 year old straight mom. Love your music and am so does my 10 year old daughter. We love belting out your songs and dancing to the beats! Love the new record Celebrate!

I am glad he knows himself. It must have been difficult having people asking obvious questions about his private life.

As soon as a man says: "I don't want to put a label on it" - it actually means "I'm gay but not comfortable to say it out loud yet". Good for him he finally can.
