Though 'American Idol' hasn't commented either way, photos of a man who uncannily resembles contestant Adam Lambert kissing other men have made their way around the Internet, painting a suggestive picture of Lambert's sexuality. Is America ready to crown a most-likely-gay 'Idol?' Looks like it.

The New York Times wonders if even asking the question of whether a gay man can win a contest judged by American citizens is outdated in the current political climate. With recent decisions in Iowa and Vermont to legalize gay marriage - along with the Clay Aiken's anti-climactic move out of the closet after 6 years of speculation - is Adam Lambert's sexuality an issue at all?

Bill O'Reilly asked his Fox News show audience, "These pictures that hint that he is gay, will they have an effect on this program, which is a cultural phenomenon in America?"

David Ehrenstein, the writer of Fablog, says no. The NY Times quotes Ehrenstein, a Los Angeles film critic, who says,"The entire system is changing so rapidly it is not to be believed... I see us as living in the post-Neil Patrick Harris era." Ehrenstein recalls the actor's People magazine interview exposing his own homosexuality. "He crossed the Rubicon. He did the 'sudden death' play. Supposedly you come out and your career is over. He came out and his career is in better shape than it ever was."

That's not to say that Lambert's sexuality is uninteresting to viewers. Joe Jervis, a gay activist blogger who runs the site Joe My God, recently recorded 50,000 hits from people searching the term "Is Adam Lambert Gay?"

    • Why was this taken down by Current? Are they starting to discriminate now? I noticed this was in the music section this morning and now that I want to show my friend it's gone. Current really sucks!

    • So lame to even talk about his sexuality. He has cool style and I guess many guys are threatened by it. I know us girls are not. I lend him my foundation any day baby!

    • There always be haters Cameleion, no matter what race, sex or sexual orientation. Adam is surely the best on that show this season. I do like the black girl i think Lil or such but yesterday she was terrible. I have a feeling she may go home today. Alison is hilarious and has a great stage persona at that age. I agree she reminds me of Janis too.

    • You are just plain stupid Cindy- we know you created that account yesterday just to respond to 1 post. Didn't have the balls? - Anyway's, Adam ruled last night with Easy Rider. He will be tough to beat. What really got me is that Lil' sings "The Rose" and butchers it when Alison would have OWNED that song. She is a new Janis Joplin and would have killed with that song. That show is starting to annoy me. but i can't stop watching lol

      Wow, not of god... Unholy???
      God created man (Everyone) in his image and gave them all the ability of freewill.
      No person is holy and if you're a religious person then you're being a very bad example of god's love and acceptance to all people.
      I'm sure god wouldn't like you implying that he made a mistake.

      Oh quit it. Some lame ass kid that created an account yesterday and only commented on this one post. Homophobes and haters usually do that because they lack the set of balls required to speak up and be counted.

    • I am 53 and always dreamed of playing the piano in public. That video gave me hope. As far as Adam Lampert I think he is a brilliant artist and that is what should count in a competition like Idol.

      I want to thank you for posting that clip of Susan. I am 53 and have dreams of my own. The clip brought me to tears of joy and gave me new hopes for my dream. Thank you for making my day.

    • Like it or not, American Idol's ratings still beat any other show on Tuesday and Wednesday. I agree that show has become stale and predictable. The judges do not add anything of interest. But as far as the articles question..? No, it should have nothing to do with Alan winning or losing if he's gay or not. It's a singing competition not a Adult sex Video.

    • Hell if I care. American Idol has been dead to me since they kicked off Sanjaya. I only watched to vote him in to ruin the show. The sooner shows like American Idol cease to pollute the airwaves, the sooner we can get back to quality scripted television rather than the mundane cheap to produce crap that gets thrown around now 'a days.

    • Alan is the one to beat this season. There are many of them that are 'forgetable' as Simon puts it. Alan is not one of them. His voice is great and it truly doesnt matter if he is gay or not, shouldn't even be an issue.

    • I think its really cool that there are more gay people that are on tv, this spreads awerness that gay people are just like everyday people

      & also gives young people someone to look up to

    • Two words Clay Gayken. I'm sorry but he didn't fool anyone. America already voted for a gay idol. The truth is that Idol is irrelevant dribble and questions like this are just pretense at relevance. Does anyone realy like these peoples music? Can you even name who won two years ago without a google search?

    • Vegas has him to win by - 1200 closest one is Alison at -200. I think he will win hands down. Who cares WTF he is. Im not going to sleep with him Im only going to listen to his music. Look at Clay AIken (the mess) closet gay but that still got him signed.

    • I could not care what he is gay or straight or in love with Mom. He has a great voice and I know I would buy his CD's in a heart beat.
