Late to the party on the whole "screaming queen" article discussion. Adam is a total screaming queen and loved and agreed with the article. Sure he can be alpha, he can also be beta and omega and everything in between. None of those things are disparaging to him. He happily owns who he is and so least we can do is be ok with it. Could it be any negative reaction to the article is more about us than him? Because surely for us all to lust after a screaming queen would be wrong, but its completely fine if he's all alpha who'e just in touch with his feminine side... Although, he wears more make up and higher heels than most women I know, has better manicure and owns enough jewellery to sink the titanic and has a bigger wardrobe - so maybe bit more than "in touch with" :-) and that's just fine. He is who he is. And yes the the "gay community" shouldn't be so squeamish about embracing the different. But as I noted yesterday, it's hard to do when you're trying so hard not to be (different that is). Why? The "straight community" is squeamish about embracing the different! (and I'm not referring to Adam here) Why should the gay community be any different. Why do we want the gay community to do something that all human beings have trouble with? Why should we expect the entire gay community to like or support a singer just because he is gay? Maybe some of them just don't enjoy his voice or the music he sings. What is wrong with that? Nothing at all and have made that same point a few times in past. On the other point, I should have been more clear and you are right. What I should have said is both the gay community and society at large shouldn't be so squeamish – but same applies when you are trying so hard not to be different is hard to do that. |

So what is the definition of "screaming queen" that some agree with so much? To me, it sounds like an out-of-control screeching nutcase. I certainly don't think of Adam in those terms, in fact, quite the opposite. It sounds totally derogatory to me. :-/ My gay male friend looks like NPH or other heterosexual male. He hates PH, and said PH is what they call it "queene". I think screaming queen is a bit feminine but not exactly effeminate. Adam is embracing his feminine side with guyliner and make up, but to me he's very masculine. |

But I have heard it used affectionately. The pioneering "out" gay personality Quentin Crisp was a self-proclaimed screaming queen. ETA: His memoir, The Naked Civil Servant, is awesome, I highly recommend it! |

About tolerance and masculine and feminine sides of Adam - I must confess something about myself. At the beginning I felt very uncomfortable when I was watching some of his performances like Fever for example and I didn't know what the heck is wrong with them. And then I understood that his moves was way too feminine for my taste. For month or so I was struggling with myself, I didn't know what to do with it, what to think about him or about my reaction. And then I just realized the truth that the problem is in me. He is what he is - this time it was me who need to change. I do understand now that when he show me his feminine side this does not make him less male, it just makes him special and he is brave to do that. I'm so grateful for that lesson. I was thinking that I'm open minded person but he show me that even somone like me can be unaware of my own ignorance. And IMHO we all have something like that - we don't know where our boundaries are untli someone trespass them and challenge us. And he want us trespassing and challenge ourselves and others because he is doing it. For himself, for gay community, for us.
