LEARNING MOMENT

The fuss over Adam Lambert's kiss and crotch is outmatched by the bumbling, stumbling sexist and homophobic hypocrisy of ABC and CBS.

Community Standard or Double Standard?

I saw none of it and don't really care too much about Lambert himself but the issues are important.

I am glad that the NYTimes has so nicely shown the media's bias for what it is.

It wasn’t the best musical performance by any means, but it wasn’t the worst display of sexual debauchery either. Mostly it was a reminder of television’s policy regarding gay men: Do tell, just don’t show.

New breakthroughs are often made in the area of entertainment. Controversies. Clarities.

This might be one.

I have seen Lambert perform and I am not planning on buying any of his albums but I surely will support his right to be as gay as he wants to be anywhere that he wants to do it.

And, at the same time, kick the bluenose stuff out the door.

An unlikely gay icon. Just like Elvis' hip. One shake for Adam a breakthrough for gaykind.

Hell, he even looks a bit like Elivis who was, actually, quite androgynous. The idols almost always are.
