OUT Magazine, that become infamous recently for slamming Adam for not being ‘gay enough’ was quick with the comment on Adam’s performance on AMAs. ON 25th of November they published a note in which we read among others:
Whatever else is being said, whatever recriminations are still being hurled, we were delighted by Adam’s performance at the AMAs on Sunday night. Adam may have dedicated that performance to Out with his upraised finger, but the outrage that followed simply served to clarify our original point. As Adam said in an interview with Rolling Stone shortly after his performance, “I think there’s there’s a double standard going on in the entertainment community right now.” Our point, exactly.
Language is slippery and many commentators mistakenly interpreted the editor’s letter as an attack on Adam for not being gay enough, rather than a critique of the record industry’s conservatism and timidity. It was addressed to Adam, but could have been addressed to any number of celebrities who have been encouraged to limit their exposure in the gay press for fear that it would alienate their wider fan base. We believe that such an old school way of separating gay and straight needs to be challenged by those with the confidence and talent to stand up to the bullies.
And yes, they also seem to get my point that Adam’s finger was directed at them!!!
