Lambert Crosses the Gay Rubicon?

April 11, 2009 by krisis

A strongly-worded NYT Style Article about my American Idol obsession Adam Lambert, whose “is he or isn’t he” gay controversy is DOA.

Interesting, though, that the article is ostensibly about the recent Neil Patrick Harris effect – wherein “He crossed the Rubicon. He did the ‘sudden death’ play. Supposedly you come out and your career is over. He came out and his career is in better shape than it ever was” – and yet carries a sidebar pairing Lambert with Bowie, Liberace, and Prince – two flamboyant straight men who managed to plausibly deny any actual homosexual tendencies and a gay man in deep denial who was finally outed by his own lifestyle.

Essentially, NPH is the only example to date of the mythological Rubicon-crossing that Lambert is currently forging through.

And, not every hot, talented, triple-threat gay guy was Doogie Howser.

(from my stalkee J. Clifton on Twitter, who may have just hinted at having a farcical virtual Tori Amos listening party with me next month, the mere thought of which slays me. Oh, the list of bloggers in this country I could get into trouble with (Jett, I am looking at you).)

    Sorry to leave a comment not related to the thread. I’ve been trying to leave a message via the “contact” point but it doesn’t like me. I ran across your wedding photo stream and Flickr. Fabulous photos and love how happy everyone looks!

    Oh my friend, we would dance in the streets and scream poetry in broken eyetalyunn.

    ….and that’s before we even crack the seal on the bottle(s).
