I answered a Rolling Stones question on wiki answers concerning Exile on Main St. and I came across this question: "Is Mick Jagger Gay". I tried improving the answer by shedding some light on the situation but my input got removed, put back up, then removed, then put back up (and no it wasn't in my browsers cache) so I thought I had better save it and post it somewhere some how. I copied and pasted it before hand. Here is my take. ...who really cares right? I know, ... I know but I spent this much time in shedding light on the situation so I thought I'd share it. Here is the original link:

Original Answer:
From my experience, if it acts like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Face it folks, I don't care how many women Mick Jagger has been with, he is GAY. We wouldn't even be having this conversation if everyone didn't know it to be true.

My Input:
I normally go with your "duck theory". However, in this instance there may be more that meets the eye when it comes to Mick Jagger. First of all I'd like to say Jagger may of had bi-sexual tendencies in the past versus being solely "gay" per say. As well take into consideration that in the music business during the early and mid 1970's it became cool to be androgynous or semi-feminine for male pop/rock stars. This is partly due to Mr. Mick Jagger himself. He has played that part up ever since. Don't forget The Rolling Stones were/are viewed as standing for everything "bad" ..or risque so to speak. So naturally Mick played the bi-sexual card a bit while performing or when in the public's eye. Marilyn Manson does the same thing right now in a more blatant way for today's generation. It's really no different.
What we do know for certain is that Mick has had relations with many females, fathered several children, been married (unofficially as well as officially) a few times while committing adultery with several woman. The guy is no stranger to "pulling a chic" anyone can tell you who's been around him for an extended period or that may know him personally. In fact, he is even publicly notorious for it and always has been.
Is he really bi-sexual (or gay as you put it)? ..Not completely sure but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he "dabbled" a bit on both sides of the fence at one time. However aside from all this I'd also say he is almost easily the best front man in the history of rock music.
