Who Cares
So I guess someone won at "American Idol" Wednesday night, but I didn't cover it yesterday because I don't give a flying shit about "American Idol." Anyway, now the whole thing is embroiled in a Miss California caliber scandal because the guy who lost was apparently gay. Here we go again. Here's what the internet has to say:"It's difficult not to wonder if Lambert's sexuality played a role in Allen's victory," the Chicago Tribune's TV critic writes. "Though he never said whether he was gay, pictures of Lambert kissing other men appeared on the Internet during Season 8.
"If Lambert's popularity on Idol was any indication of how tolerant and accepting America has become, his loss may indicate there's still further to go," continues the Tribune writer.
Adds pro poker player (and recent Celebrity Apprentice runner-up) Annie Duke: "I seriously think Adam lost just because he is gay. Bummed. Bummed. Bummed."
Blog Examiner.com labels Lambert as "polarizing," stating: "Adam was too gay for America." (Source)
Whatever. No one can say for sure why someone did or didn't win at a singing contest, and either way there are still people out there that are gay-hating bigots and nothing's going to change that fact. But if you ask me the whole point is moot anyway because "American Idol" itself is pretty much the gayest thing ever.

What a flaming pile of horse shit this whole "controversy" is. Reuben Studdard beat Faggoty MacGayass, the most obviously-homosexual person on TV since Jack on "Will & Grace", and nobody chalked that up to America hating gay people -- and Reuben was allegedly a Christian guy, too.
This is just drama. The truth is that more people liked clean-cut and normal than they did art-school glam. Big fucking surprise.
Gay is the new black!
Maybe gays have been taking lessons from QX.
Adam never came out and said he was gay. Maybe because he wanted to win on talent and not be the "gay poster child." Because every child wants to grow up to be the first "Openly Gay Singer to Win American Idol"...that and President of the United States.
