Morrissey is a very witty guy. I think he likes a bit of mystery surrounding him. For a start he's a recluse. Plus he likes to toy with what people think, especially about his sexuality. Almost all of his lyrics have a hidden meaning, thats what makes the Smith's music so appealing. You can interpret it how you like or take it at face value. He said himself "I refuse to recognize the terms hetero-, bi-, and homo-sexual. Everybody has exactly the same sexual needs. People are just sexual, the prefix is immaterial." The fact he didn't give a direct answer demonstrates he likes playing with this uncertainty. It makes him interesting and adds a spin to his music. Is he, isn't he? type thing. Obviously if you write music like he does as well with these hidden meanings, if you write a song about a relationship people will interpret it diferently. Christ, on here people have said its gay, interracial, inter class, about his relationship with Marr, confusion, about himself and noone else! Besides, if he was gay but hadnt come out the closet, he wouldnt release a song that could be interpreted as saying he was homosexual.
