An End to American Idol's Gay Problem?

Come on. This article reminds me of fascist GOP 9/11 spin. Did it ever occur to you that Hollywood has been experiencing a gay renaissance? That American Idol producers are partial to Friends Of Dorothy on purpose and Simon Coward may be closeted? If there was an anti-gay bias, so many gorgeous faced hunks wouldn't have made it this far. Please. Don't insult your reader's intelligence by insinuating false discrimination where there is none. You don't have to be straight to admit the truth. You just have to be honest and accept who you are without a phoney ass agenda. We need to evolve beyond the spin to the point where we can share the pop culture rather than diss it. Gay TV rules. Deal with it and stop the BS.

Some might view it as just a singing competion, where you could actually end up being a huge international star. You have to take in consideration that there are many talented people walking this earth that never get the opportunity to actually showcase their talents. AI gives many of those people that chance within reason. You have to know that we live in a world where even boybands, can't be out until they are found out about. It seems there was a time, that N'Sync ruled the planet and you couldn't open a mag or turn on the tube and them not being thrusted in your face. The hottest group on the planet and one of the hottest guys of the group, just might happen to be gay.  It's very safe to say that the water at that time wasn't cold because there were already other established artist that were out and doing fairly well. I'm not sure but I think Lance was advised not to come out and to avoid the subject.  His team weren't telling him not to be himself but they were basically telling him without telling him, that being gay won't go over well with your core audience. Things got so bad that he was willing to trade in singing to be an astronaut. Anytime that going outerspace is better than dealing with questions about who your dating or sleeping with, then it's time to pick a new career. He was in a position that he couldn't think of just his own dreams and everything that he worked for but that of his bandmates/brothers as well. As you can see Lance doesn't have any solo efforts coming out and probably doesn't have to sing another note in his life but he still remains on everyone's tongue. Think about this machine called AI and then you realize that with all your success even after the show, you still have a hard time being yourself. Clay is a good example because the boy is cute and talented and whether you believe it or not just might be gay. His main problem is with all of America watching his every move, he still is trapped or pigeon-holed thanks to his time on AI.  America saw him as this very wholesome boy-next-door type, that didn't curse or swear and was almost as saintly as Pat Boone. The sad thing about that whole image thing is the wholesome boy-next-door just might be gay. There was a time in America that many thought, if a woman wore bright red lipstick, then she was either a whore or someone that slept around. We are a very advanced nation but our thinking on occasion is so primative. People still cringe seeing two men just holding hands, I said nothing about kissing yet.  We might never see an AI top 10 gay person, until they break their chains or dealings with the show.  How cute was Ace Young and he makes my gaydar go crazy but that because I only wish he was gay.  Ace if your out there call me.
