I think Morrissey would have been totally open about his sexuality hadn't The Smiths turned into such an influential band in such a boring period of time musicwise. His already suggestive lyrics started being scrutinized and manipulated after they hit it big in a decade when gayish imagery was a fashion statement as a result of pop music but it was not accepted openly as a lifestyle.
I agree that Moz has spent most of his life in the closet but I doubt he has been unhappy or frustrated about it because his personality (which I know only about from his lyrics) depicts so many ambiguous and yet colorful scenes and feelings that he would rather be reserved about coming out precisely to avoid his poetry from being associated with something as irrelevant and plain as a sexual orientation. Morrissey would only be pleasing the media declaring his sexual inclinations, I think real fans wouldn't care either way but would rather not know because each one interprets his music according to one's personal situation, empathizing with the author only in his mood and his perception of things, far from falling into the vulgarity of impersonating in a genre the object of his messages.
