Looks like my post got Lost... SophieB I think Adam always looks sexy in long coats {My Heathcliff on the Moors fantasy.} Don't think ANY suits belong in a rock concert! LOL Agree...but this suit would be the best of the suits that seem to be obligatory now. I’m forever in mourning for the SaveMe trousers and the Versace leather outfit. SophieB YES! The SAVE ME trousers and song---I listen and watch it over and over ---one of the best concert memories, but I don't think he ever performed it in the US. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I listened to the Billboard Pride discussion this morning and found it very thought provoking . I guess I've always been an "allY"---long before I ever knew that Adam existed, because it just made sense that we are all humans and are entitled to our own thoughts and preferences. I have one question after hearing the thoughts and experiences of the five artists. I was hoping the moderator would address the issue of biases that exist among people in the gay community itself. Too often I have felt ,especially in the early years when Adam came off of AI, that he could have used more support from those who knew what he was going through and failed to speak up. I guess there is room for improvement and progress from all when it comes to moving forward.

Its all about money and the bottom line.. My wish is for the Queer community to start putting their love and their money behind all the talented gay musicians out there who need support.. The record companies are interested in sales.. So go to concerts,buy the music ,stream.. Committ to helping your own.. That would do wonders for your talented artists..The already famous straight singers don't need you... Your own community needs you.

I will never forget the interview that Alex Newel(?) gave when he was opening on Adam's tour. It was all about gushing about Beyonce. Why of course she needed more publicity so why not spend the time talking about her instead of the guy you are going on tour with. I think LGBT artists still need the general population to hear their music and to get on board or they will starve or remain niche artists. But getting heard is the thing.

I think Teagan did a bit by saying when she and her sister came out/on the scene she kept waiting for someone, anyone from the gay community, especially other artists, to reach out to her and they never did. And that was why she has tried to reach out herself to other gay/queer and especially new artists to offer support. Adam has added "I'm a Queen" to Somebody to Love and I wondered if that was in response to being in this session and wondering if there was more he could do with this big BoRhap tour platform.

The record companies support what sells and why take a risk on someone who isn't everybody's flavor?

I would not necessarily think of a suit for a rock concert either, but Adam is wearing them anyways haha. He wears one for the opening number currently, and he wore a pink suit for the "Killer Queen" section during the Vegas gig last year, and in my opinion the BB one is the hottest one yet!! I too miss the sexy "Save Me" trousers - he wore them extremely well

I'm glad Tegan mentioned this and hope more folks in the gay community become more active in supporting each other.
