Oh, man, I hate that wording--"she doesn't agree with homosexuality." It's like saying that Hitler didn't agree with Jews, or the Ku Klux Klan didn't agree with blacks. Bigotry is much worse than just being politically incorrect. It's hateful and dangerous and yes, ignorant. I hate it when people try to make it sound as if all opinions are equal, and that people should be tolerant of intolerance. Murly, I wholeheartedly agree. Very well stated!! |

I find it intriguing--all the foundation makeup discussion today. He almost always wear very heavy foundation for events, appearances, performances, and interviews. I wonder why today people are noticing/discussing it. The extra lines on the eyelids were new, I believe. But the foundation looks overly heavy, as usual, to me. I always notice it, but I've gotten used to it.

I think the communication disconnect even with Adam, is that gay is not a lifestyle is in the DNA and no-one has a choice. What are gays supposed to do, not love, not get married, not have a life? Is this what straight peeps are relegating gays to be: non-humans. I think he is very deliberative when he uses this word. He seems to use the word to make the point that there is more than one way to live your life when you are gay. His lifestyle is about more than just his gayness. The gay thing is a given, most of the rest of it is a choice. YES THIS!! Many pick on Adam for using the term lifestyle but what I have gotten from his interviews is that he IS making a distinction between lifestyle as in how you live your life as opposed to who you love. This is unfortunately a point that even those in the gay community don't get. Being gay is not a choice, but the way you choose to express yourself is a choice. Adam's "lifestyle" is to live his life openly and honestly as a gay man. If he had chosen to be closeted his "lifestyle" would be that of a closeted gay man. He speaks about freedom of expression and that his fashion choices are a way of expressing himself but what people don't seem to get is that his sexuality is only a part of what he is expressing. Wearing nail polish isn't about being "Gay" it's about feeling pretty or edgy or whatever. This is another reason I have always felt that Tommy was so important during the tour because he is a straight guy who likes being pretty and there should be nothing wrong with that and it shouldn't define his sexuality. So on one stage you had two guys who liked being pretty and one is straight and one is gay. Also kissing is not sex. I truly think Adam does not equate making out with sex because he has talked about how enjoyable kissing is just for the sake of kissing not necessarily as a precursor to sex. There was at least one interview (maybe Fuse) where he talked about enjoying making out and the difference with girls was he didn't feel it as a sexual response. That was indicated with a gesture to below his waist not with words. Kissing is more about sensuality than sexuality but society's repressive attitudes about sex cause all kinds of warped views of simple human contact. Touch is very important to human emotional stability and our repressive attitudes towards sex have caused hyper sexualized view of touch. I think the world would be a much nicer place if there was more hugging, touching, and feeling each other. In animals mutual grooming is a stress reliever and unfortunately the puritanical view of society have taken away many forms of contact that would greatly benefit us emotionally. We know for instance that lack of touch with babies and young children has serious psychological ramifications. Also porn addiction is much higher in more sexually restrictive communities. |

HAPPY MUCH!?! How exciting. At first I thought it was you who was saying what Adam said. Took a second to realize that he had retweeted you. (I don't do Twitter, so sometimes the tweets look confusing to me when copied and pasted here.) |

Is there a translation yet of Sauli's new blog? I don't read the google translations because they are only useful for humor. I'd rather wait for a real translation so that I can actually understand what he's talking about.

I agree with those of you who are talking about the term gay "lifestyle". I think a lot of people use that synonymously with "sexual orientation." I guess Adam means other things (not sexual) concerning a person's style of living. It is confusing a bit. Does "lifestyle" have a specific meaning in the LGBT community that is different from how straight people might use it? I don't know.
