It’s so completely stupid that she even had to announce it. Just be gay and continue living in total obscurity. Why does the world need to have it announced? Does she have a show or an album coming out soon that she needs publicity for? Not that she’s not perfectly charming and lovely about it. She is. But still.
By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to alert all of you that I am straight.
Not quite the same impact, I realize, but as long as we’re all getting everything out on the table…
It’s a good thing Adam Lambert came out as a gay dude in Rolling Stone magazine a few months ago, because otherwise I would have NO IDEA which team he plays on. Particularly after seeing this album cover, which is so incredibly ambiguous with respect to his sexuality.
You’d think he could be a little louder and prouder about his gayness, instead of keeping it so subtle. Sheesh.
An alert and astute mockdocker sent me several photos from the NYC Pride Parade, and this one was one of the more tame ones. I know these are called fanny packs in everyday life, but never has that name seemed as apropos as it does when I look at this photo.
Why must “Pride” mean “Baring Of Huge Amounts Of Flesh” at these parades? I mean, can’t you be gay and proud and clothed?
You know what? I will probably never ever buy a CD of his, but I LIKE him. I don’t like his dying cat shriek, or the fact that he ends nearly every song he ever sings the same way, but I really LIKE him. He’s a smart, well-spoken, knows-who-he-is guy, and I like him. And I totally LOVE his mom. I loved his coming out story, and her role in it.
So there it is. I like him.
And you know who else I love? John Stossel. Every last word he says is super exaggerated and I LOVE that.
You guys – it turns out, in a curious twist of fate, that Adam Lambert might be gay. BEHOLD: Adam stepping out with his boytoy.
And to think. This whole time I’ve been completely SURE he was straight. Never once did I question his sexuality. I mean, lots of straight guys wear make-up and platform shoes and make out with other guys. Right?
Here’s the thing. You’re going to hear all sorts of nonsense today from all sorts of sources that the reason Adam Lambert didn’t win American Idol is because he’s gay.
That’s completely stupid. Adam is a totally polarizing person, but I don’t think it has anything to do with his gayness. I think it has to do with the fact that some people think he sounds like a dying cat. Count me in that camp of people. That said, I think he has piles more vocal ability than the other dude who won. It’s just that those particular piles are not piles that I actually want to listen to on a regular basis.
I didn’t vote for Kris, because I didn’t vote for anyone. I make it a practice not to actually vote for anyone on American Idol, because that would require effort, and I only watch American Idol so that I can zone out and not do anything for an hour or two. But if I HAD voted, I probably would have voted for Freaky McDeadCat Boy, because I think he’s more talented, and I feel like American Idol is a talent show.
I suspect that Adam’s going to have loads more success than Kris will, because Kris, while a nice singer and all, just isn’t all that interesting. Adam is interesting, I’ll give him that.
But the whole gay thing? No. I don’t buy it. He lost NOT because he’s gay, but because he’s just plain annoying to people.
They were just interviewed in Out Magazine about working with Prince. I don’t know if you remember, but I kind of have a crush on Prince. And I’ve long said that he’s not gay, despite many people insisting that he is. Well, now I have Wendy and Lisa to back me up. And if anyone would know, it’s them.
So here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Q: Did you first think Prince was gay? Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he’s so not gay.
Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.
Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.
Wendy: I remember being at that “Sexuality” video shoot and him on stage with that little black jacket and that tie thing around his neck and his black pants with white buttons on the side. And we looked at each other for the first time and I thought, “Oh, I could so fall in love with that girl easy.” It doesn’t matter what sexuality, gender you are. You’re in the room with him and he gives you that look and you’re like, “Okay, I’m done. It’s over.” He’s Casanova. He’s Valentino.
