Bill O'Reilly Just Realized Adam Lambert is the New Liberace

By Sharyn Jackson, Tuesday, Apr. 7 2009 @ 1:45PM

Categories: Featured, Sharyn Jackson

On last night's O'Reilly Factor, Bill alerted us that there are "embarrassing" pictures of American Idol flamer Adam Lambert on the Internet. Those would be the photos that have been circulating for months now of Adam, be-glittered and purple-haired, smooching with another one of his lot. Note how O'Reilly censors the pics right above the lips, so you just see two boys near one another at eye level. That's hardly proof of homosexuality! Correspondent Margaret Hoover says the gay factor won't affect Adam's vote. This is, after all, a singing competition, as everyone likes to claim. And, "We have had gay pop culture icons since Liberace."

It's hilarious to see Bill O'Reilly think he has some news or controversy with those pictures and the "gay" question when he clearly knows nothing about Lambert, American Idol, and pop culture yesterday and today. He comes off as a alien who has just landed on Earth for the first time, "What is this "Idol" thing?" I also find that discussions like this only propagate anti-gay sentiment as asking if Adam's sexual preference is going to effect the vote is giving the idea credence. I would like to see the day when homosexuals and bisexuals outnumber straight people and then post a photo of a man and a woman kissing on their TV program and ask, "Will this effect their careers?" Ridiculous. For the record I am a straight female. I have a terrible crush on Adam. I don't care if he's gay, straight, or bisexual because I will likely never meet the man, so who cares. A dream is a dream is a dream. I think most women who are taken by him feel the same way. If he's gay...well we imagine being the one woman to change his mind. Or we consider a sex change ourselves!

Lisa says:

Each contestant on American Idol has a story that has been shared wether family/divorce/death. Why is Adam's humanistic story being avoided? It is irrelevant if he is gay or straight. He is a human being that has as much to offer as any other! We all can clearly see his talent and that is what this show encompasses lets simply celebrate his talent and enjoy the show and P.S. we would love to hear his real life story...we all have one and on this show we want to know!
