I don't know about others but when a penis has been pressed against my crotch, I was either offended or I loved it because I was attracted to the person pressing his penis against me. What the hell would you think of with a nice big penis pressed against your crotch but sex? But that's just me. Maybe other men and women can ignore that kind of contact. True, unless you KNOW it will never be the case. That's why women love to dance – and DIRRRTY dance (*guilty*) – with gay men. And they often love to dance with women as well. Because you can play out those fantasies and affection and know very well it's never going any further. You can't dance like that with a straight man without a million different repercussions, so it's better to just not go there unless you have every intention of taking it to the nth degree. If you're not sure, don't even go down that road. Dance with a gay man. And in most gay group dynamics I've been a part of or observed, there is a very clear definition of who is your platonic friend (i.e., Adam/Terrance – though in that one vid, they dance very provocatively together and don't have a fear of touching each other affectionately, but they are always very clear, they are FRIENDS). Adam has been friends with all of these people while he was looking for love. For whatever reason, they chose the "friend" route, not the "boyfriend" route. Their affection dynamic should not change because one of them did find the love they were looking for. So, so true!! My DD is a theatre kid. If you looked back over her picture albums on facebook for the past few years, you might get the impression that she was a player, a slut or a lesbian.  If you didn't know that most of the guys she is in "provocative poses with" were gay, you would think she was having several intimate type relationships with several guys during the time span of a week or two. The guys who aren't gay, have been her close, close friends during so many plays and musicals. They practically live with each in the confines of tiny backstage areas for weeks at a time. They change in front of each other. Members of the opposite sex help each other with quick changes in the wings. My daughter had to get comfortable with her body and grow up quickly when she started doing community theatre in the ninth grade. Adam grew up in this world of the performing arts. He has known and performed with many of these people for years and shared weeks with them in cramped backstage areas. I'm sure all the members of GNT have seen each other naked a million times. Once you enter the dance/theatre/performing world, you just learn to get over things like this. (In fact, if you look through most girl's facebook pictures- you might jump to the conclusion they were lesbians. They pose in ways that suggest they are a couple. Maybe people just aren't used to seeing guys pose together like girls pose together??) |

Interesting discussion on this thread. This post will be a bit of a ramble, but the discussion got me to thinking about the nature of artists and creativity. The thread brought to mind a tweet from the Metropolitan Museum of Art several months ago: "When I am no longer controversial, I will no longer be important." - Gustave Courbet, 19th century French artist(Courbet was one of the leaders of the Realist movement in painting and a controversial figure in the art world, because he used painting as a means of social commentary, which was revolutionary in his time.) What has this got to do with Adam? Well, it occurred to me that most great artists were considered to be controversial at some point in their careers. The Impressionists, so beloved today, were criticized when their paintings were first exhibited. When Picasso first displayed "Demoiselles d'Avignon", now considered to be one of his most important paintings, it was judged by many to be crude, vulgar and an artistic disaster. Moving on to music, I think we forget that even The Beatles were criticized in their day, particularly by more conservative elements in society. Their long, "unkempt" hair and their "bizarre" suits were considered to be a challenge to established societal norms. Many of their fans were disappointed when in the late 60's they began to experiment musically (and with drugs). Elvis and the Rolling Stones were criticized by many for being too sexual and too vulgar. I think artists by definition are never going to please everyone. Artists create, and the word "create" means to bring something into the world that doesn't exist. Creation is disruptive, and the result is invariably something outside the norm or established order. The greater the artist, the more likely that they and their work will cause uneasiness and discomfort in the audience. As an artist, Adam is pushing at boundaries, and if he were to try to please as many people as possible he would be limiting the possibilities of his creativity. I expect that Adam, like other artists, will always make some people uncomfortable. He pushes at boundaries in his personal style, his approach to performance and, I suspect, will do so with his new music. And given that he is an openly gay man, the level of discomfort will be that much higher for some people. But to reach his full potential as an artist and as a man, I think he needs find his own path, even if it means shocking or offending some people along the way. Sorry for the ramble. Cheers!  |
