There is so much pressure for Adam Lambert to come out as being gay, and i dont understand. This annoyance is mostly directed at perezhilton, who i have really come to loathe over the past 2 months.
Everyone knows he is gay. I think that we live in a culture of assumed ” straight until proven gay”. Why does he need to come out in order to make some sort of statement that he is not ashamed of who he is. Putting presser on celebrities to mix the personal and professional is something that is so intrusive and beyond that…is a gay person really that different that they need to be associated with that label?
to me there is way more power in the fact that Adam is gay and he lives very openly about it but he does not need to make himself a news headline that he is “Coming out”. I think that there was a time that public figures had to live in secret so there was a need for them to make a stand but I hope we as a general society are past the point of it being shocking to be gay. I think it just really urks me that Perez still feels that it is necessary to shove it in people’s faces of just HOW GAY he really is. People dont like it when religious people are too extreme and I think that there is something to be said for forcing Gay upon people.
