Adam has made no bones about his sexuality since he came out in Rolling Stone, shortly after AI ended the season. (The timing was part Adam, part 19E. The choice of RS was all Adam; he has said repeatedly he wants to be seen as a singer who happens to be gay, not a gay man who happens to sing.)

IMO, Adam doesn’t “owe the gay community” a THING. If anything, WE owe HIM the right to live his life as he sees fit… if not, we’re hypocrites, since that’s exactly what WE demand of society at large. He’s said, over and over, that he isn’t political and doesn’t want to be a poster boy for gay rights, and that’s his prerogative. Cutting him down for it is mean and petty.

Nice try “Randy” but we all remember when the Clay Aiken fans would come storming on here every time Queerty wrote something about Clay, then they would get attacked, they would then comeback and change their screename to a male one and start off every post with “I’m a Clay fan and I’m gay” then would proceded to tell us what the gay community owed HIM. So nice job following the script but you may want to be more origional next time fangirl.

I had little respect for Hicklin before this, and have none left now. I’d stopped my subscription to OUT long ago, shortly after Hicklin took over as EIC; I don’t see myself buying it in the future as long as he’s at the helm.

This may change to Widnyowski-gate

And I find it COMPLETELY APPALLING THAT OUT neglected to mention that he’s gay also until the Aaron’s tweet the next day.

Seems to me a gay man would more than anyone be able to negotiate these things in such a way that would be without a visible trace of quotable facts. Then again OUT has never given anybody ANY FACTS.

Why isn’t OUT outing Roger? Or whoever it was.

^^ Shana’s blog She was out of her league.

Prolly like this:

Gay Publicist :

Shana, ok we’re not going for gay-gay here, no Village People type shots and for now, politics is off our radar ok?

Shana:

Uh…well..ok I hear ya.

Shana later:

OMG OMG OMG I”M SO PISSED OMG OMG AARON AARON DO SOMETHING SON OF A BITCH OMG OMG OMG

Aaron:

Dumb bitch ….goes to write the letter

Gay PR person discusses interview with gay interviewer of a gay magazine.

Apparently requests some downplaying of some gayness (who knows)

Gay interviewer is “awkward” (in her words) and doesn’t cause a fuss.

The interview happens with the subject who is clueless abt the conversation.

The interviewer files the story with “anger” (her words)

Her gay editor does nothing but goes to press with a nasty letter TO THE SUBJECT of the interview.

The nasty letter OMITS THAT THE PUBLICIST IS GAY when raking RCA over the coals. But the editor mentions it on twitter.

The subject is left bashed and likely highly stressed at the most critical point in his career.

NICE JOB GUYS. Three gays in a catfight and someone who’s not involved gets hurt and becomes the target of unwelcome demands that he OWES the gay comm something.

Thank god there are hetero and homo gay women to support this kid along with a handful of MEN.

Noone would give a rat’s ass if the letter was addressed to RCA. And didn’t bash Adam Lambert for his past “actions”. That’s been stipulated ad nauseum across the internet. But it wasn’t.

Are you one of those who when reading about Obama you read “He’s really secretly for gay marriage”.

Selective reading.

For you to pretend that the the nasty, fingerwagging, paternal threatening admonitions to Lambert are meaningless, and the narrative is strictly RCA and has no negative impact on Adam Lambert shows you to be exactly the “type of gay” that makes us weary.

I’ve lived in the gay community for 45 years as a hetero sister of a gay man (RIP)and believe me we are exhausted carrying water for you.

Now AGAIN. Does the fact that the PR REP IS GAY enter into this dicussion? It’s a simple yes or no, really, no need to criticize the person asking the QUESTION (that you seem reluctant to answer)

110 – Mark, thanks. Well, I think a person, any person has a right to determine just how political they want to be. A person has a right mot to be an overt activist if they don’t want to be. Had Adam been political before the AI experience, I’d say he’s a cynical, opportunistic bastard now but he seems to never have been very political so it’s in accord with his past.

That said, guys, go listen to his cd. From what I heard, he has at least two poilitical songs. Master Plan is VERY political (a great ong too). “Strut” also has a lot of political messages although it’s just an empowerment anthem, which of course could be taken as a gay anthem or empowerment to anyone. It’s a great song too.
There’s “Fever” that is a very sexual song and he sings “he” in it so he never changed that (Lady Gaga wrote it).
He sends his message across alright but he does it differently than what Hicklin wants him to.

Go listen here if you’re interested.

These are the lyrics to Master Plan:

You run away from everything that you fear
So afraid ya don’t wanna be a part of it
You see the fake in everything that is real
You hate the paradox
You put us in a box

We going to find out what makes us right or wrong
Waste of time and we just livin’ it
I wanna see you touch you one on one
No stoppin ’til we’re done
We’ve only just begun

We are the face of the new generation
We are the ones who have no reservations
Don’t give a damn ’bout your cold calculations
welcome to the master plan don’t care if you understand
Don’t care if you understand
welcome to the master plan,

Your skin is burning at the sight of me
Your mask can’t hide what you’re thinkin’
Don’t ask (Don’t tell)
Just take what you need
I’m an open book
So go on and take a look

We are the face of the new generation
We are the ones who have no reservations
Don’t give a damn ’bout your cold calculations
welcome to the master plan
don’t care if you understand
don’t care if you understand
welcome to the master plan

There’s you, there’s me
I feel your energy
I hope we’ll see
Things ain’t what they used to be
Look at the face

We are the face of the new generation
We are the ones who have no reservations
Don’t give a damn ’bout your cold calculation
welcome to the master plan don’t care if you understand
Don’t care if you understand
welcome to the master plan

Don’t care if you under
welcome to the master plan
don’t care if you ..understand!

OUT has a magazine issue filled with 100 amazing and talented people. But they choose to write an editorial about a fight with a publicist. Lambert himself gave them a gracious and open interview. Does OUT have nothing more important to say?

Why isn’t THAT person being outted and subject to the actual scrutiny?

Tell us Hinklin, do you have any testimonials even ONE saying this about YOU or Out magazine?

“Actually the coolest person I’ve met is Adam Lambert. As far as teaching me the most. And it has nothing to do with music. It’s got everything to do with character. And people. And accepting people and understanding differences and not seeing the difference before you see the person first and um, I have to say that I’ve grown the most from any certain individual it has to be Adam Lambert.”

@ 5:21 on video here which happens to be a very inspiring one

The OUT editor should have known better than to make this all public. There is no way he’ll beat the American Idol pr team even though he is 100% correct.

http://www.afterelton.com/peop.....ent-101948

What better way than to stick their head up the PR person’s ass?

Wow they must really keep a detailed log so Adam can remember his favorite vocal breakdown in Knights of Cydonaia and IAMX’s Kiss and Swallow.

And the spelling errors and typos are a nice touch.
Maybe there is no Adam Lambert at all and it’s like that movie Dave.

You jackasses.

Now back to the TOPIC. Please explain how 3 gay people having a catfight and blaming Lambert influences this discussion. And comment on if RCA is homophobic now.

Or is it more to your narrative to focus on Twittergate?

I am not referring to life challenges. (eyeroll)

And yes, I’m quite sure the tweets to all his non famous friends and promoting his (mostly gay) professional friends are RCA.

adamlambert

hilarious: http://www.huffingtonpost.c... about 4 hours ago from web

But of course in keeping with the Huffpo piece, the focus is “oh no he doesn’t tweet himself” here instead of the topic.

Jeff you are just making the entire thing so ridiculous. You cannot possible have ever even been watching his twitter history. THIS IS A NEW ONE. Twittergate.

What a bunch of smacked asses, seriously. Gay marriage is doomed if Queerty is any representation of the mentality of the movement and the priorities therein.

Jesus, it’s shocking how easily Adam’s fanbase is manipulated.

Aaron is the mother of all fools. Yeah, Aaron, “him going down on guy would have been more radical” and what acareer starter, ay? Remind me of any openly gay celeb man who did that? One? Any?

And what is it about “We are all counting on you not to mess this up”.
Who appointed Hicklin to speak in the name of “all” gays? Since when does Adam or any gay owe anything to Hicklin? Is Hicklin the dean of the gay faculty, setting the criterions for graduating gay school and the criterions to being gay the “right” way?

Out got it’s cover. Out got a really good interview that in great part actually talks about his life as a gay man. But, that wasn’t enough. There was a need for a public admonition because Mr Hicklin thinks Adam being gay is enough for him to have some kind of a hold on him and dictate to him how to be gay “the right way”. If indeed this esteemed editor had an ax to grind with Adam’s management, why didn’t he do it on the phone?

Yeah, that doesn’t sell too many magazines, right?

aaronhicklin:

@mogulmama I love Adam, too, just don’t like a gay publicist of a gay artist telling a gay editor not to make his client “too gay.” unfair?

Bummer. The HOMOPHOBIC PUBLICIST from RCA is gay.

Why am I not shocked. And why am I not shocked that this dimwit tweeted it as the basis for his complaint.

So….a gay editor and a gay interviewer didn’t like the concept of a gay publicist’s pre interview groundrules, and the gay subject, who wasn’t even in the room gets publicly beat up after the fact.

That explains the tweet of Drake’s naked hairy ass in the string of Tweets to Aaron.

Seanboy try reading the interview. It was entirely about being gay. wtf now we review interviews without reading them.

as for lambert, he certainly knew what kind of publication OUT is and what would be expected. don’t agree to the interview if you can’t give them what they want. would a black musician be interviewed by JET or EBONY and not talk about how being black has influenced them. Would a woman interviewed by MORE not talk about what it is to be a woman over 40?

One guy there wished that someone would tie up Adam and beat him on a football field until he was….well you get the drift.

Lambert’s tweet challenges are infamous. It’s a big inside joke with the fans. duh.

It’s pretty funny. Sometimes when an asshole makes a rude comment he’ll answer just to unleash the fantarding power on the unsuspecting recipient because he knows we all read his inbound tweets. Sometimes fans say “oh no Adam dont say that” all worried that he’s opening up a can of worms.

****See, if you knew so much you’d know one can read all inbound tweets to a person by doing @reply (person).******

Nothing he does is unseen on there lol. To make silly statements based on zero knowledge just makes you look more petty.

You probably are above the lowly twitter but if you read his history there is not much doubt who’s typing.

Now if you’re saying his statement was cleared, so what? How is that unusual?

And are you saying his spontaneous bitchslap of Gene Simmons in the Rolling Stone interview was “controlled” too?

WTF man, ya’ll project every petty thing you can think of on the guy. FOCUS. :)

We’re an extremely narrow-minded community in how we conduct oursevles.

LOL!! Oh, you blew it right there fundie! Either you’re a right winger posing as gay to comment here, or you are a meth addict who is homelss and hustliing. I have a large circle of friends, aquaintences etc.. I’ve lived in 3 major cities and I can’t name any that have been to a “Sex Club” or Bath House. Again, my guess is you’re a winger just on here to cause trouble, but if you really are gay, then you have some major self hatred issues to work out.

sparklecows- i love it. it is my word of the week.

Adam tweeted that he appreciated the author’s blog (above)

On my way to rehearsals for the AMA performance of For Your Entertainment. My band and dancers are siiiiick.

LMAO I love that kid. Wonder what Aaron’s doin, tonight.

(cant resist sayin I told ya so)

Dear Aaron

It’s def not that deep. Chill! Guess ya gotta get attention for the magazine. U too are at the mercy of the marketing machine.

Until we have a meaningful conversation, perhaps you should refrain from projecting your publication’s agenda onto my career.

We are like the desperate heterosexual men who build their lives around the girly magazines.

Interesting, which publications are you reading? Additionally, GQ, Esquire, Details, etc… all have scantily clad women in them, Vogue is completely based on fashion and is a huge selling magazine, are we then supposed to infer that the entire straight community is either sex crazed or shallow and only interested in clothing? Your weird targeted focus again makes me think that you are one of those odd fundamentalists who once stole a gay porn magazine and has become weirdly focused on it.
