What if you just don't prefer super-sexualized performances? Gay or straight. I mean, I am not a prude, but I don't need to see Rihanna (and others) gyrating on stage all the time. Adam's AMA performance made me completely uncomfortable (a lot of it, I thought was even cringworthy) and it had NOTHING to do with gay (I got a kick out of the kiss). I'm also not into the "glambulge" discussion and don't always like to wade through crotch shots. But, I do appreciate the sexiness  Instead of judging and lecturing people we don't even know, really, can't we just give each other a break? We don't have to love EVERYTHING. I will say again, I HATE how some in this fandom throw the "homophobia" accusation around---at other fans, radio, media people like Brian Mansfield. It is completely unfair.
THANK YOU! |

No need to "shut up". My comment was just meant to reinforce ATop rules -- we do not categorize people or call them homophobes here.
The only reason this site exists is for a respectful but mostly free discussion.
If we can't talk honestly about how we feel, we can never never never grow as people. We will all just continue to conform and be politically correct. 1. relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. 2. political correctness - avoidance of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against www.thefreedictionary.com/political+correctnessactually, a more accurate and less loaded term IMO is politically aware. ------------------ Words are important because we can't know or assume intent. I can only speak for myself but if I use words that are unintentionally sexist or racist or homophobic, please feel free to tell me. It might not be fun, but best case scenario, I learn something.  great article rihannsu and really worth a read today from page 4: "Why can't men have strong feminine sides?" agrees Adam Lambert in Rolling Stone. "Does that make them less of a man? I don't know why our society has such an emphasis on masculinity and femininity — it's really gross. I don't think you're truly sexy until you don't care about that." Good point -- may I put forward a much simpler term "aware". That is, thoughtful about the world we live in and the people connected to us, even in digital space, even people we do not know. |

Someone mentioned lovely comments on the Hennessy site. Is there a link? I have been without internet for most of the last 48 hours. I have SO much catching up to do!  I think the original comments are in Chinese and you have to be on Weibo to access Hennessy's site. I'm not sure what page the translations are on now, but maybe someone else remembers. |
