<33333333333333333333333333 ilu for your latest post, jsyk. SOON WE CAN SQUEE OVER SYTYCD TOGETHER INSTEAD OF THE LAMENESS THAT WAS THIS SEASON OF IDOL.
It would've meant a lot to me, to my friends, and to my parents' friends to have a gay Idol. He would've been a role model and a reassurance that we're not invisible. Even if I hadn't liked his performances, that small part of it would've mattered to me. Because I loved his performances and thought he was in a class of his own, I feel pretty shitty about the whole thing tonight. *sigh* Eh, at least I have gin and bitter queer friends calling me.
oh, bb. *snuggles* if it's any consolation, i think the hype probably ruined his chances for him. plus the fact that any gokey fans would probably have hopped on the kris train. and this is baby steps, right? last year we had david hernandez, and this year the alleged gay kid made it all the way to runner up. there's always next year! *cuddles some more*
I honestly think Kris is gonna drop off the relevant continent of Planet Music into some boring easy-listening or light-pop niche and Adam will make his way SOMEWHERE spectacularly. Doesn't make it any easier to know that tomorrow I get snide emails from coworkers and relatives telling me that this is what God does to those who were "unfit to influence impressionable children". That I get to hear that fucking Gokey's pastor was pushing Kris because "well, THAT young man is OUR kind, if ya know what I mean." That I think of friends I have personally in music who have been rolled over and FUCKED by the "don't ask don't tell", who might've had a little room to breathe or negotiate if Adam had won and been that public figurehead of success.
Not that it can't still happen. But hearing "Maybe later" in a year where we lost Prop 8...it wears on my nerves.
Not any fault of anyone's, not voters and not Kris or Idol or whatever. Just how I feel.

How was his performance last night?? I've just been reading through all the idol squee on twitter. I'm sad I was asleep through it all.
