I doubt thats true because if he wanted to be openly gay, then he would have given that as the reason he quit.

He's been very mysterious about it all in his interviews. I really hope that it isn't because he wants a record deal with another label. I would be SOOOO mad if I were that last guy that didn't get to make it into the semifinals. Look how many people who are dying to be in Mario's place and he gave it away. His own mother said that she wasn't sure why so I imagine it has to be something stupid like a record deal.
