Morrissey announces he’s ‘not homosexual,’ is ‘attracted to humans’ — but ‘not many’

Morrissey long has been coy about his sexuality, which is why the publication of his autobiography this past week generated a flurry of headlines about its revelation of a relationship with another man during the 1990s — reports that apparently have led the former Smiths frontman to proclaim he’s not gay, but, rather, “humasexual.”

In a statement provided to fan site True To You today, the singer proclaims: “Unfortunately, I am not homosexual. In technical fact, I am humasexual. I am attracted to humans. But, of course … not many.”

Morrissey’s autobiography, entitled, naturally, “Autobiography,” was published this week in Europe by Penguin Classics (there is no American publisher as of yet). Moz himself traveled to Sweden to for a single book-signing event, video from which can be seen below.
