Hard to believe that Adam Lambert didn’t come out and become openly gay for any other reason than fearing he’d lose votes on American Idol. Sure he would: straight people prefer their own. And girls want a boy they can moon about (i.e., star in their sexual fantasies).
To continue to deny his sexual orientation at this point isn’t cutely coy but disreputable and disgusting. So hopefully the rumors of Lambert outing himself in Rolling Stone are true.

Dylan Vox, former Falcon Studios star, is finding some success in the world of mainstream Hollywood entertainment.
“If you’re willing to work, people like to work with you,” says Vox, who continues to pay his dues waiting tables and acting in L.A. stage productions between film and TV gigs. “(Production can be) a very lazy environment, and it’s very easy to say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do that.’ I work really hard when I’m on set, I put in a lot of time and effort — it’s not just about showing up. People want to see that you’re professional and that you know your lines. I think a lot of it is just about being nice to people. I was successful as an adult actor not because I’m the most beautiful person on the planet but because people liked me, they liked working with me, I was excited to be there and I took every job seriously. A little bit of hard work goes a really long way in Los Angeles, no matter what you’re doing.”

Even in the metropolis of Moscow Russia sounds much like America was for gay men and women before the Stonewall Riot. The recent gay rights protest staged at the time Moscow hosts Eurovision has had plenty of press coverage.
Eurovision enjoys considerable support from the gay community, and Russian activists hoped to take advantage of the event to draw international attention to what they describe as rampant homophobia in the country.
Police hauled away around 40 demonstrators, including Britain-based activist Peter Tatchell and American activist Andy Thayer of Chicago, co-founder of the Gay Liberation Network.

The mayor of a world capitol sounds like an ignorant American Baptist:
City authorities had barred Saturday’s rally saying it was morally wrong. Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov has described homosexuality as “satanic.”

Hopefully pressure from the outer world will begin to make life better for Russian gay men and women.
A Canadian mom visiting an American Apparel shop noticed a copy of Butt sticking out of a mannequin’s backpack.
Taken aback by the image of a man’s naked buttocks on the cover, she pulled it from the bag and opened it to a centrefold layout of men engaged in a sexual act. She was relieved her daughter did not see the double-page spread. And despite the fact the company is notorious for its sexually charged marketing campaigns, with salacious ads of young hipsters in skimpy underwear, she was still baffled as to why the store — which also carries baby and children’s clothing — would allow such material within reach of minors.

Sigh. Middle-class straight people always over-react.
As much as I admire Stanley Wells as a scholar his resurrection of the old speculation that the Cobbe Portrait is an image of Shakespeare is so pointless. It has inspirerd some funny speculations:
We have this from no less an authority than the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, which in March unveiled a newly discovered portrait some historians think might be of the Bard. “This Shakespeare is handsome and glamorous, so how does this change the way we think about him … and his sexuality?” wondered a statement from the trust to the press.
Is This A Gay Face I See Before Me?
Was Shakespeare queer or - at least - bisexual? We’ll never know. Nor do we need to. Oscar Wilde’s The Portrait of Mr. W.H. is fun though.

I post the cover to Queersville because it perfectly captures the contempt with which even bottom tier American publishers used to treat gay men. There’s no sign whatsoever that we are looking at gay guys in drag. The editor just grabbed an already produced cover, possibly one that had been deemed not worthy of using for some trashy heterosexual paperback and used it as the cover for this book.

Closeted Gay Pop Singers
Fox is hardly going to risk the cash cow called American Idol by promoting openly gay men as pop singers. A large portion of the talent contest’s audience is socially and sexually conservative middle Americans.
Hidden sexualities on Idol always must be viewed in light of the general discomfort about sex that dominates the show. It’s fairly ridiculous that a program designed to create the next major pop star barely lets its participants show leg or sing racy lyrics …
Within a painfully immodest pop universe, “Idol” stands as a champion of family values — and of the endangered naughty giggle. The banter between the show’s male regulars, especially host Ryan Seacrest and judge Simon Cowell, is steeped in an outdated frat-boy homophobia that is never funny and often deeply uncomfortable.
American Idol needs to open the closet door
If Adam Lambert is gay and does come out of his closet it will be after his stint on Idol. Perhaps only if his pop music career fails.
But this year we’ve got Adam Lambert on deck. Could he be the great hope for gays on Idol? He hasn’t specifically addressed his sexuality (and it’s a good guess that Idol producers are telling him not to), but judging by those photos that surfaced last week, it’s certainly a great possibility that this boy could be into boys. (I mean, he’s kissing other boys in some of the photos and dressed in some quite fabulous drag in others.)
American Idol : Why are you afraid of being gay? (When you already are.)
The music is such awful slop I’d much rather think them all heterosexual.
Queer for Shakespeare
Romeo & Juliet remade as Romeo & Julian?!?! The horror!
Sir Ian McKellen liked it. But conservative politicians saw another chance to announce to the world that they were shocked and appalled:
Calling for a debate on political correctness during questions on upcoming Commons business, Tory MP Philip Davies said: “This is mind-blowing.”
“Anyone with an ounce of sense would want their children to be learning Romeo and Juliet rather than Romeo and Julian.”
…
“It is very worrying that this literary masterpiece is being used for such a politically-correct purpose.”
Eccentric and tendentious versions of Shakespeare plays are nothing new. The various scholarly and traditional performance editions of the plays survive and continue to be steadily studied and performed.

Isn’t it time that people who are accused of being gay stop filing lawsuits?
In most instances, there are no real damages for plaintiffs to claim in gay libel suits. Farah, who ended up not filing suit after Wikipedia fixed his entry, might have been angry that he “spent hours” on the site trying to change his bio. But being the butt of a joke hardly constitutes real damage. Cruise claimed that false allegations of homosexuality subjected him to ridicule, and he won his case by default because the defendant couldn’t pay for a lawyer. But speculation about a star’s sexuality—including ridicule—is par for the course for a celebrity. …
Should stars really be able to sue for libel if someone says they’re gay?
