Mika on sexuality: 'No, I'm not sick of talking about it'

'Grace Kelly' hitmaker Mika has admitted that now he has spoken out about being gay he does get asked a lot more questions about his sexuality during interviews, but it's a topic he won't grow tired of discussing.

Speaking to the Pride Source website, he explained that people have been more inquisitive about his lifestyle and beliefs after he came out as gay although it doesn't bother him because it's important to have a voice and he enjoys making his heard:

"If I'm gonna talk about it, I'll leave it until I talk about my sexuality in an open, confident and unpressured way. The question before was, "Are you gay?" Now the question everywhere I go is, "What's it like being a 29-year-old who's gay?" It never irritated me and it's never something that has bothered me, so I'm not sick of it."

"It's not essential to understanding my music, but I guess if you want to understand me as a real person - as a person with facets and different angles - then it is important. So no, I'm all right with it and I'm still answering those questions. 'It certainly didn't make them go away. If anything it's becoming even more a theme for conversation in interviews."

Mika's new album, 'Origin Of Love', is out now and he added that writing the songs that make up the tracklisting was a very honest and cathartic process: "On the record you can hear a horrific breakup, you can hear me questioning myself and going on dates with other people, and then you can hear me finally finding love in the person who I was originally with - you see this transition through the record."

"I think for my boyfriend, it's a record with a happy ending - well, for both of us - but it's definitely something that I think he sees a lot of truth in."
