Come out, come out, wherever you are...
So I got my copy of Entertainment Weekly last Friday with the lovely Adam whats his name from American Idol...I have not been watching American Idol this season, actually not since the second or third season have I invested any time or caring for anyone on this show; but this article brought up something that really gets on my last gay nerve. Famous gay people, who I know are gay, who aren't out of the closet. They seem to be everywhere I look right now. I turn on CNN and there is Mr. Closet himself Anderson Cooper...who I believe has no real reason to stay in the closet, I remember seeing him every Saturday night at The Roxy in NYC, shaking his groove thing with all the other gay boys to Victor and Peter. I mean this is nothing new, for stars to be in the closet, of course...I mean way back to Rock Hudson gays have had to stay in the closet, but I imagined in the day of Melissa, Ellen, Elton, and the likes younger artists would feel more comfortable coming out. I remember when I was doing my party in NYC called Pop Rocks! and Lance Bass would not come to it because he didn't want people to know he was gay, and yet the very straight and comfortable Joey Fatone came by to check us out, I love him immensely by the way! GRRRRRR I'd like me some of that hot cub action! ANYWHOO I digress...there's of course my compatriot Ricky Martin, who should fucking get his ass out of that closet already, nobody gives a shit! And then there is the lovely world of Star Trek where we have already had Mr. Zulu (George Takai) come out of the closet, why can't the new Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) come out? I used to see him all the time hanging out at MJ's when I worked there, I just wished these Hollywood people didn't feel the need to stay in the closet, and while were on the sci fi note, can I just express my grievance of there being no gay characters in science fiction TV or film? I was very happy at first when I saw two guys kiss on a Battlestar Galactica webisode, but then it pissed me off that it wasn't included in the show itself. It was just frustrating to me as a huge Sci Fi geek that in these worlds were robots come to life and kill us, and alien men can have babies, there can't be two happy normal men or women who are in love and in a relationship!
