Ugh sorry I thought the kisses were distasteful and disgusting. No offence intended. But I never got that. Always skipped fever because of it lol. Sorry just turned me off. Particularly after the Amas.i was like really Adam? But he's obvioisiey moved on since then. https://www.instagram.com/p/dH3ge9uNMG/ I am sincerely asking why you thought the fan service kissing was "distasteful" and "disgusting"? At that point did you know that Adam was a gay man? Had you read the Rollingstone article yet that came out a full year before GNT started, where he said he was gay? Just wondering. Because gay men DO kiss men. (NO I do not think Tommy is gay. lol He was willing to play along Velvet Goldmine style) And I personally see absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is beautiful and certainly not "distasteful" and "disgusting". The whole birth of the kissing on GNT sprung from the AMAs kiss between Adam and Tommy, which was precipitated by Aaron Hicklin from OUT Magazine saying that Adam was not gay enough. Hicklin had got Adam's goat and Adam acted out aggressively. IMHO in the long run, it did not hurt Adam. It got him MORE talked about in the press. However, in the immediate short term, things were pretty messy for him. Channel 7 had a coronary and banned him. He was pretty much persona non grata as per the industry. Very glad that he was able to overcome mostly all of it eventually. You state that you are 28. So at the time of GNT you had to be what? 21ish? Is that how you felt then? Or do you still feel now being older and his fan for 8 years that the kisses are still "distasteful" and "disgusting"? I'm asking because I have seen so many, many fans of his that had absolutely no clue about gay men or gay people in general and watched them evolve and become allies for LGBT causes. IMO, that is a testimony to Adam. He has done so much good and brought needed awareness to the Community. I know that there has been mixed feelings throughout the fandom today about the Adam and Tommy cheek kissing pic that both Adam and Tommy put out there. IMO, it would be nice if everyone would stop bickering about it and see it for what it is. Two friends, that pushed boundaries in a big way to make a point that REAL gay men in the entertainment business can be as sexual as women entertainers who only spoof being gay. Adam IMO, had the more pure heart by kissing Tommy than Madonna smooching Britney. The picture is NOT about Adam and Tommy dating. The picture also has NOTHING to do with Sauli. There is NO Adommy and never was. Many forget that Tommy had Delmy as his girlfriend and then Liz for many years. IMO, all those crazy ideas cheapens Adam friendship with Tommy AND Sauli. Adam has a loooong time to be in the industry. He is still basically in the infancy of his career. 8 years is really nothing yet. He will hit strides that we can't even imagine. His talent will take him very far and in many directions. And hopefully, at the end of his fabulous career, when he is an old man, books will be written about his courage and risk taking when being gay was a hard road to navigate in the industry. Not sure why this attracted a long winding post. I said it was disgusting personally. Because he kissed him frequently every time her performed Fever. Just a taste thing. HE is primarly a singer, and doing that stuff put him in the danger of becomig a niche artist.

I was on a roll trying to get some of my thoughts out and just kept rolling with it. lol So if I understand you correctly, you still think that personally to you, the kisses were disgusting? And you didn't like the frequency of them? It's just interesting to me that you follow an out and proud gay singer, for 8 years, and his kisses with another man, you label those kisses a "disgusting". OFC, you can label them anyway you please. It's your opinion. I just don't understand it. I guess I am asking you these questions about it TO try and understand. And I really don't think that the Fever kisses has rendered him a niche artist. Well, anyway, I hope we get some new music soon. One single would be nice even before he completes the whole album. Kind of like a feeler or a taste test of something. I'm ready for a new jam.
