theantijoss | Do you call it "coming out" if you were never really in?

Seriously. The only difference between Adam Lambert now that he's on the Cover of Rolling Stone (*SQUEE*) and before is that he's said what are apparently the magic words : "I'm gay."

I wasn't aware you had to officially make an announcement about your sexuality before you got to carry Teh Ofishul Ghey Card.

But YAY, honey pie signed a record contract with RCA, and that Rolling Stone cover is the hottest thing since Baby! in the Bathtub! Gah.

"The Liberation of Adam Lambert"

I don't care -- I just LOVE this kid! He's adorable and fabulous and I ADORE his voice. I promise most days to keep my squee to

lambert_ducks, but today I can't help it! *dances*

Honey pie's gonna be a SUPAHSTAH!

My favorite quote: "I loved it this season when girls went crazy for me. As far as I'm concerned, it's all hot. Just because I'm not sticking it in there doesn't mean that I don't find it beautiful."

HA!

I've seen people talking about how "disappointed" they are that Adam let a 'shroom trip lead him to Idol. (One of the quotes I didn't mention here.) Hell, the only thing I ever did shrooming was curl up on the ground and laugh/cry until I passed out. So good on him for putting a trip to productive use! *G*

Once again from the excellent

damned_colonial: Whedon is not a Friggin' Feminist, and Here's Some Reasons Why. She didn't call it that, I did.

Which is not to say that I don't enjoy some of his work, but when I hear people trumpet about what an awesomely progressive feminist he is, it makes my brain bleed.

TONS of new True Blood Viral Videos -- I love these. Hee.

(I feel so bad for the seeing eye dog guy! :( )

Because:

OMG! Of course, I'll probably have to wait until the next day to see it, but I DON'T CARE!!!!! *dances*

Tonight's viewing includes La Mala Educacion or as us Gringos call it, Bad Education -- it's a thriller that has such a twisty plot that it's hard to explain in a line or two, but there are nasty priests, sexy gay guys, and blackmail involved. In Spanish. I need to figure out where I know the lead actor from. His name is Gael García Bernal (she said as she imdb-ed him), he was in Babel and Motorcycle Diaries -- neither of which I've seen, so those can't be what I'm thinking of... AH! I'm With Lucy -- the one where Baby! plays a dickhead doctor. Gael played one of the other lovers. AND he was in Y tu mama tambien, which I saw a few years ago, and was HAWT. Okay, now I feel better. LOL

How are you guys today?

Re: coming out ... yeah, IMHO, you do have to. Otherwise you're just a Schroedinger gay, a superimposition of sexual identities, and more annoyingly, you are taking advantage of het privilege rather than helping challenge it.

Re: Joss Whedon... you would not believe how hard it is to find stuff online, in 2009, that is prepared to support Joss as a feminist. I mean, take a look at the search results for http://www.google.com/search?q=joss+whedon+feminist

I remember back in oooh 1998 or so when everyone was like OMG JESS WHEDON IS SO FEMINIST. Not so much now.

I know, I know, Adam needed to say something definitively, otherwise that's the only thing the press would ever talk about for his entire career. And I am glad he didn't go the Aiken route, and just deny, deny, deny for years. I kind of lurk around a few Adam boards, and the denial there is just... offensive. People just refused to see what was right in front of their faces, and I kept getting frustrated with that kind of behavior. He's gay! Why does that somehow make him less hot in some people's eyes?

Heh. I'm kind of tired, so I'm not expressing myself well. But I was being more a smartass than really making a statement about "official declarations of teh gheyness" yesterday.

Re: Whedon. I have had a problem with his self-proclaimed feminism for a LONG time -- I suspect Dollhouse brought that discussion to the fore for a lot of people. While I love and adore Buffy, some of the things Whedon made happen to her and in her milieu were definitely NOT feminist.

Those articles were handy, though, thank you for sharing!
