American Idol

I do not watch American Idol, but I do read the Perez Hilton blog once a week or so. Apparently, one of the contestants (I believe his name is Adam) is a gay man that likes to dress up in drag on occasion. Pictures of this man have now leaked onto the internet, and his privacy has been invaded. These pictures are of the contestant dressed in elaborate make up and outfits while making out with other men. There are approximately seven pictures, and they have many people in an uproar. Bill O'Reilly talked about the pictures of his show, saying that they were disgusting and inappropriate. He also said that this is not the kind of person that any American should idolize because he is a homosexual, and encouraged his viewers to vote against this young man because who he is is wrong. I find this sort of commentary to be hideous, and when I first heard what Bill O'Reilly had said I became extremely angry. Late night talk show host Chelsea Handler commented on Bill O'Reilly's remarks, questioning why he chooses to waste his time belittling this young man while there is a full-out war on terror over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Good question, Ms. Handler.
