    I was at Out during the startup and it was a piece of cake to get a straight model to do the cover. They were like, "Cover?" And then pushing you down to get to the shoot. But gay models? No. "I don't want to be seen as gay." And yet that was of course what the readers wanted.

    As far as I knew, the gay boys sometimes like kissing the girly-faces. Because we're pretty and they're pretty and pretty sometimes likes to kiss itself. Not sure why it means big bad mediacorp is trying to cage poor Lambert in. I say do what you do. You like the boy sex. Groovy! You like straddling girls and flicking tongues. Power Up, dude! (Just as long as the girls know you'd prefer the boy sex). Just don't be some strange, affected Anime caricature that no one likes except comic book fanboys who have a hard time getting anyone of either gender to "space tentacle" their nubby bits. That is what is really at question here. Not his sexuality per se, but his choice in fashion, eye cosmetics, and hair shenanigans. Get him a better stylist and less hair product and the world will thank you. #adamlambert

    @Spirit Fingers: yep, gotta come clean. I'm one of those gay men who can get bombed at parties and likes making out with chicks. It's weird. It's confusing. It's also fucking hot. #adamlambert

    When I saw the Details spread I started giggling immediately. Who is she trying to fool? NPH doesn't give us or the straights the willies because he seems so comfortably and naturally boyish. He's allowed to play straight because we all suspect that he would be the "man" should any of us be lucky enough to bed him. Lambert has a bottom-boy dilemma - we don't like our leading men and role models to be fey, unless they're buffoons.

    So it seems to me that the gay "backlash" over this type of behavior is probably more about enforcing queer gender roles than genuine concern over "how gay" he really is or appears to be. #adamlambert

    Is Levi Johnston too straight for the gays? Maybe Levi and Adam could learn from one another, each helping the other gravitate towards a center that would be pleasing to everyone. #adamlambert

    I'm the kind of straight girl who tends to crush on gay men in a sexual way. But this Adam Lambert revolts me. He has none of the wit and style I expect in gay boys. He's just a 80s-retro mannequin who has yet to demonstrate proof of intelligence, culture or taste. A sorry epigone of times past. Every time he opens his maws, he unleashes stupidity. He's calculated yet uneducated. A proletarian rube who dons dark nail varnish to make up for his profound lack of sophistication when it comes to gay know-how.

    Also, while he can belt the chorus on Broadway musicals--bit player that he is--he's not even remotely as good-looking or as talented as Dustin Lance Black. In short, I'm not sold. #adamlambert

    Does not compute; he is openly gay.

    Maybe publicly confirming a “homonormative” identity over and over again is just too boring for a young would-be rock star? #adamlambert

    @BookishLookish:

    Yep.

    Anyone who is only famous thanks to the power of Televised Karaoke For Middle America is already as mainstream as mainstream can get, no matter who he prefers to see naked. The photo shoots with ladies and boring "provocative" comments are more likely attempts to not disappear entirely without actually doing anything creative or compelling, not belated efforts to enter the closet. #adamlambert

    If Lambert fails at the megastardom while simultaneously being openly gay, perhaps Cheyenne Jackson will bust down that wall? He's not only quickly becoming high profile while openly gay, but he's the kind of talent with looks that all sorts of people can project their fantasies onto. #adamlambert

    There is no way that any celebrity can make a living off of just a gay fan base—there just aren't enough of us to support a giant megastar.

    Say what you will, but this kid's been in the spotlight for over a year now, and he's somehow keeping his head above water. No major scandals, no huge slipups, no publicly-pressured apologies for something weird he did when he was 12... He's making money and acting as permanent bete noir to the Republican Icon, and no one can do anything about it.

    It's kind of admirable. #levijohnston
