Mika's ambivalent sexuality attracts death threats from a fan!

Flamboyant pop star Mika says he's been receiving gay death threats because he won't discuss his sexuality. The 23-year-old singer has told how he receives messages from people threatening to kill him over his sexuality. Mika told the London Evening Standard "I get hate messages all the time, a death threat. It was over whether I am gay or not. He wasn't happy that I won't talk about my personal life like that. Sometimes I think that I have made it, other times it is a bit worrying."

The article goes on to state that Mika recently said: "I never talk about anything to do with my sexuality, I don't think I need to. People ask me all the time. In order to survive I've shut up different parts of my life, and that's one of them, especially this early in my career, I don't really feel that it's necessary to know in terms of my music. Some people make records that are defined by their sexuality, but mine really are not. It does play a lot with campness. It has a theatricality to it. Why not? It's pop music. If you're 14-years-old and you're gay, well, just do whatever you want. I'm not confused and I don't have any barriers about the way I live my life. That's why I don't want to put it under the microscope."

I don't care if Mika is gay, bi or Canadian. He's a singer and that's all I'm really interested in. There has been a lot of speculation about Mika's sexuality in the media and, between you and me, I think it's bloody obvious which team he bats for. So let's just say that if Mika ever does decide to come out, then I'd be about as surprised as I was when Rosie O'Donnell did. Sometimes, you really don't need to state the obvious.
