This was interesting and confusing. I thought gay men only called other gays she, then she ended the essay by using that pronoun for her father. |

Writer said he started using 'she' for straight guys too.. I think he was just being funny with calling his father' she' unless of course his dad is gay  |

Re huff post article: He was being sarcastic about calling his father she, because he's laughing at himself for going so far as calling his own father "she" and making fun of gays telling straights and straights telling gays to get over it. Author was trying to be clever I think.
ETA:thanks, Patty, I thought I was the only one who translated sarcasm.

Can't remember if this been posted, music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/6-craziest-amas-moments-ever-211527080.html?soc_src=mediacontentstoryThe 6 Craziest AMAs Moments Ever!
By Laura Ferreiro 20 hours ago Yahoo Music  Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert at the 2009 AMAs [photo: Access Hollywood] Adam Lambert (2009) – Who can forget the controversial kiss that Adam Lambert shared with his male bandmate during his glamtastic 2009 AMA performance? The "American Idol" alum pushed boundaries with sexually suggestive choreography that included dancers crawling on the ground on a leash as he whipped them, S&M-style costumes, and plenty of bumping and grinding. But it's the moment when he grabbed his keyboardist by the hair and gave him a big smooch on the lips that had everyone talking. As the openly gay singer pointed out, he had no qualms about doing it because "women performers have been pushing the envelope" for decades. (With link to Adam's AMA performance) A few days before the AMAs, Idolator published an interview with Adam talking about recording Fever with Gaga in the studio.
The Idolator Interview: Adam Lambert

BB: I’m especially digging “Fever,” the track Lady Gaga wrote and gave to you.
AL: I am too! It was awesome.
BB: What did you learn about recording or songwriting in general from working with Gaga?
AL: You know it’s really just an energy thing. Doing all these songs, different producers, different writers, it’s always a different vibe in the world, and Gaga is so free and expressive and eccentric that she brought that out in me, she encouraged that side to come out. She was definitely on the other side of the recording studio, the other side of the glass, egging me on. “More! Crazier! Go further with it!” It was fun. I think we caught the spirit of rock ‘n roll in there.
BB: Was there pressure to make yours different and change up what she started with?
AL: That demo was from five or six years ago, I believe. I think we both felt that was important to make it my own and do something that was more current.
BB: I must know—does Gaga wear sweatpants when no one’s looking or taking photos of her?
AL: (Laughs) That’s one of the things that shocked me. She walked in the studio wearing this beautiful coat and took off the coat and was wearing this bra top and midriff and this see-through pencil skirt with these crazy fishnet stockings and platform stripper boots. She was incredible. That is the real deal.

I think Adam's performance on the AMA's helped to begin the national conversation on gay sexuality.His kissing another male on national TV really led to a big open door, afterwards ,kissing between men on TV,in movies,etc. just didn't seem like a big deal any more.The conversation on why women artists could be sexual ,while gay males had to hide their sexuality. They had to be non-threatening or funny in order to be acceptable.IMHO, Adam opened a discussion that America really didn't want to have ,but needed. He was willing to be himself ,which sure could have brought down his career..One of the reasons I so love Adam,beside his awesome talent and good looks,is the fact that he's incredibly honest and courageous.
I would guess That many here on Adamtopia would go to the ends of the earth for Adam because of the guts he continues to show..
One of the craziest moments on the AMAS,IMHO, turned out to be one of the bravest.
