Adam Lambert’s Rolling Stone Cover & Homophobic Backlash June 11, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , trackbackWhy is it that I always end up having a crush on the gay ones? First it was Stephen Gately from Boyzone, then Mark from Westlife and now Adam Lambert has only gone and ‘come out’ too.
Ever since I first saw him on American Idol I thought he was the hottest bloke on there, I mean I like boys with a edgy, ‘rock star’ look about them, and a dash of guy liner doesn’t go a miss either.
So, he was my favourite, I was backing him, I was hoping we were going to hit it off just like myself and David Archuleta did so that I and all his fans would join up in a big ball of love for Adam… but no. This makes my face do a sad expression.
Either way though, I still love his voice and I wish he’d won the show because he had far more charisma that Kris Allen, but you know what has really angered me since he told Rolling Stone he was a homosexual? The fact that so many people are commenting on the fact that he’s gay and that’s why he didn’t win the show.
Well, excuse me, but Will young won the first ever series of Pop Idol over here in the UK, and he was as camp as Christmas, and who are we to say that a person’s sexuality should govern whether or not they are talented? Take Perez Hilton, Rock Hudson and Freddie Mercury for example, three people at the top of their chosen career, and all gay.
We’ve had comments on the article that I wrote yesterday ( http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/music/popmusic/Adam+Lambert+Im+Gay-8573.html) which were just too offensive to print and we had to remove from the site after people inferred that Adam shouldn’t be allowed on television shows which children might watch because of the ‘influence’ he might have over them.
I fully understand that the US is a very religious country, and the bible doesn’t look favourably on homosexuality, but surely any person with God in their heart, wouldn’t be able to say such spiteful things about such a talented human being.
All I have to say is the USA also condones the Death Penalty, and that doesn’t follow the commandment of “Thou shall not kill.”

HIS PERSONAL LIFE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HALF OF HOLLYWOOD IS DAMM GAY.

Arrived at your blog via a search on susan Boyle, but I watched Am. idol this year too.
First I would like to note that your english and grammar are excellent, something we don’t get much of anymore here in the Western Hemisphere.
I’ve heard comments by many Europeans that America is a ‘religeous’ country, actually it’s not really the case. One of our political parties uses religeous views, ones that are highly emotional such as Gay rights and abortion, in order to obtain votes. Sad, but true.
I’ve favourited your blog as I like it.
Having seen nothing of the entire series, I first saw Adam Lambert perform in the final of American Idol. I was simply awe struck at his phenomenal talent, showmanship, prescence and dazzling charismatic style. To my mind he was the outright winner.
I then sat agog, watching him achieve second place, I couldn’t understand the result but hey….I remained assured that I had witnessed the arrival of a true star onto the world platform, one to reach the heights…all in good time.
I then discovered that some sectors had ‘doubts’ about his sexuality throughout the contest. I was disappointed but not altogether surprised that an issue had even been made of it at all as it has no bearing what so ever on the contest criteria.
As for those who line up to ‘condem’ him over it ….. words fail me where this narrow minded biggots are concerned. They themselves pose the greatest risk to the younger generation’ spewing their vindictive, judgemental, ignorant bile.
With his immense talent and recent act of courage in relenting to the pressure of having to make his personal life public, success is his for the taking and I have no doubt that it has already begun!
just watch him go!
