I think it never ends well when we get into discussing how and when and what to post, which is why it's one of the few rules we have. I take full responsibility for my role in getting us OT today. There's a place here for everyone who loves Adam, no matter how much or how little they want to say "out loud." And by all means, PM a mod if you have any concerns about someone's post. Thanks, guys! ALL!!! POST AWAY! The more the merrier!

Good discussion on this the other day. Sorry you missed it. My opinion is "yes" for several reasons. 1) RCA is the X Factor record label. Adam is an RCA artist 2) Simon wanted Adam to win. Made it quite obvious he was not happy with America's choice. Adam's success will prove Simon is right! 3) Idol and X-Factor are both on FOX. Technically, they really are not in competition with each other. 4) As you already mentioned, Adam really has nothing to do with Fuller anymore. 5) Adam's single will become so huge, so quickly, Simon will have to have Adam on! ;D ITA with all of this. Also: 6) Timing is perfect. Adam will have a single to promote at exactly the same time X-Factor is ramping up and will be having guest performers. 7) Adam is one of three extremely viable alumni from U.S. competition shows that prove the shows are still relevant. 8) There is no proof whatsoever that Simon C. has any animosity towards Adam. It only makes him look better to embrace him.

Ohh - that was just posted on my RL Facebook from a good friend! :/ ETA: Will watch - I have several gay friends who grew up in Mormon homes! Thanks! I remembered reading the article at the time and his name rung a bell. Just finished the movie. You will be appalled. Seriously, everyone should watch. It has so many levels to it and the whole time, I'm thinking how incredibly brave Adam is One of the most chilling parts is when they retell the circumstances of a young man who committed suicide inside the Mormon Church. He was gorgeous and seemingly bright and sweet. A former church member told about how tortured he was as a child: "For every birthday, when he blew out the candles, he wished he would no longer be gay. He would not let himself watch his favorite TV show or go to a birthday party if he was still having 'those feelings.'" He went into the church and shot himself in the mouth and left a computer-generated do not resuscitate order. His parents wrote a book afterward siding with the church. They said the entire family all felt a "profound sense of relief" after their sweet, gorgeous, amazing son committed suicide. They were going to be in the documentary, then backed out. Cried from just what you wrote!

[size=4 ] EVERYONE ON ATOP PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING THE TREVOR PROJECT BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THIS ~ [/size] bit.ly/nrajTa [/quote] Yes, but BB, that story was from last year. It was one of the major stories that brought attention to the issue. Speaking of, I'm watching a documentary on NetFlix right now called "8: the Mormon Proposition" that follows the money trail and calculated campaign about forcing Proposition 8 through. It's heartbreaking and infuriating. movies.nytimes.com/2010/06/18/movies/18eight.html[/quote]Ohh - that was just posted on my RL Facebook from a good friend! :/ ETA: Will watch - I have several gay friends who grew up in Mormon homes!

My Dad (Grandpa) said this about the pic he took - Brooke moved to Los Angeles and it really hits you when you see the empty car space and you realize she has moved on in her life....we are all really happy for her, but it does feel different knowing she is not just going to pop in the door and say, HI I feel the same - but she's off to new adventures Yay! <3!
