Honesty Is Honestly The Hardest Thing - 8/?
“I don’t pay a lot of attention to things like American Idol and these other shows where people with some form of talent compete because I’m very busy but last year even I couldn’t stay unaware of the gay guy Adam Lambert. He started on American Idol, I should mention he didn’t win instead losing to married Christian Kris Allen, but he took most of the press and caused a lot of fuss when he performed at the AMA’s with a routine many including myself found indecent and obscene. Well once again he has been making headlines this week not because of his talent but because of his sexuality after footage of him being attacked, outside a well known gay hangout, appeared on the internet. You can’t turn on the television or the radio or open a newspaper without hearing people’s opinions on this ruckus and the fact that no one has heard from or seen him since it happened. The question is whether he should have come out in the open since it happened and put the story to rest?
I personally think that he should just make a statement and let us all go back to more important things. I’ve seen the video and the ‘attack’ and it isn’t even that bad; sure it’s a little humiliating at times but he doesn’t end up that hurt. This is a man who made headlines for thrusting one of his male dancer’s heads in his crotch and simulating oral sex on a live broadcast. His performance offended a lot of people. He traded on the fact that he was gay and it came back and bit him in the ass. I’m just saying that if you’re going to push being gay on the public then maybe you should expect a bit of backlash. I’m not saying I approve of the attack, that would be wrong, but to hide away and claim victim status seems like he’s ignoring his part in this.
Cowther, what are your opinions on the situation?”
