Lyndsey Parker commented on the ‘Out’ controversy already on 16th of November 2009, just after the letter of Aaron Hicklin has been published.
She basically does no have any oppinion about the gay-issues mentioned in the letter but points that the constant buzz around Adam Lambert makes him a true superstar.
I honestly cannot take a side here. I do not know Hicklin personally, nor do I know what went down behind the scenes at the Out shoot. I was not there. However, considering that Adam’s people “allowed” him to make an album with collaborators like Lady Gaga and a fearlessly glamtastic cover in which he is wearing more mascara than the late Tammy Faye Messner–and that no one stopped him from performing on the American Idol finale in Bob Mackie angel wings and platform boots, OR from coming out on the cover of an even more widely read publication, Rolling Stone–it seems like he has at least a few people in his camp who happily celebrate his individuality.
I just find it interesting, and actually a little amusing, that even when Adam Lambert poses for a seemingly innocuous group photo, he somehow creates controversy and conversation. And when people of all sorts–from regular folks gathered around the watercooler to editors of major magazines–can’t stop debating about someone, that’s the sign of a true superstar.
