Did James Franco just come out of the closet?

In a New York magazine interview with James Franco he says he is "a little gay".

Franco conducted an 'interview' with himself last year -- the gay version and the straight version, which confused many over what his sexuality actually is.

So when asked in an interview with Vulture magazine last week, he said he is "gay in my art and straight in my life".

Interviewer Jerry Saltz asks Franco to explain whether he's not also gay in his life, to which Franco said: "There is a bit of overfocusing on my sexuality, both by the straight press and the gay press, and so the first question is why do they care? Well, because I'm a celebrity, so I guess they care who I'm having sex with. But if your definition of gay and straight is who I sleep with, then I guess you could say I'm a gay c**k-tease.

"It's where my allegiance lies, where my sensibilities lie, how I define myself. Yeah, I'm a little gay, and there's a gay James."
