Wait... for Adam's nomination for the Do Something Awards, they only mentioned proceeds from the Aftermath remix going to the Trevor Project. What happened to the vast amounts of money raised for Charity:Water? Or Donors Choose? Why was this not mentioned??? I don't get it.

I think they focused on the Trevor Project because of the LGBTQ connection and left it at that :(

I think they focused on the Trevor Project because of the LGBTQ connection and left it at that :( Bummer. :( That's called "streamlining information". Attention is called for Adam doing charity work. From this point of view, it doesn't matter what work he has done. It's an entertainment show, not an informercial or a public service announcement. They don't have an oblication to call attention for the actual charities, as the show is created in the purpose to gather up celebrities in the hopes of good ratings (Yes, I'm shallow!) The award shows are made for the casual viewer, and they don't want to bore the viewer with long running sentences where they list different charities. So they picked one to mention by name, and of course they picked Trevor Project because it's the easiest to connect with Adam's character. Again, the one they mention is chosen by the interest value and not by the impact (I think that the money gathered for Trevor is only a fraction of what was gathered for Charity: Water) |

Re: The possible Out magazine shoot. I think that both Out and Adam are between the rock and a hard place with this.
First, it's an issue of the magazines policy. Out Magazine knows that people are following how they'll treat Adam. If they'll include Adam in their Out 100 list, it's news. If they don't, it's news. So they can't just do nothing about it, because doing nothing is a statement, too.
Second, it's a simple matter of journalistic content. There are only so many of public figures that are out in America. They aren't excately crowded with openly gay people with ready made public regognition and draw. The magazine can't afford to substitute people that would draw interest with people who woudn't be famous or woudn't be gay. Also, there is no journalistic reason for leaving Adam out, as no-one can argue against him fitting in the 100 most influential LGBT oriented people in U.S.
As for Adam, there really is no reason to carry a grudge for long. First, he isn't (yet) in a position where he could be very picky about his promotion opportunities. Especially if he's offered a shared cover. Second, Adam is scorned by a portion of gays and gay culture outlets. It wouldn't be good to stenghten this dislike.
I believe that Adam will be included in the Out 100. I hope that he gets the cover, but I strongly doubt that he will. The magazine would sell plenty of additional copies because of it, but the core readers, who are the life of any paper, might see it as selling out.

lol. Wonderful fantasy scenario aloha. To me Hicklin represents the conservative, pearl-clutching, puritan (yes there are puritan gays believe it or not), douches who always harp on Adam being a plague on the gay community. Seeing him bow down in humility would be hilarious.  ITA. aloha wonderful scenario! And reihmer yes I believe there ARE puritan gays, Adam is trying to say this from day one, that the diversity in the gay community is the same as in the "straight" community. Here is an interview from Canada during his promo tour where he talked about it. It starts at about 2.00 if someone doesn't remember it. And Catz thank you for fixing this amazing pic of the couple!!! I freaking love their happiness!!!! :D |
