The Separation of Church & American Idol: Is there a right wing conspiracy to vote off Adam Lambert because he's not a "good Christian role model?"

Could the best singer on the show lose because of homophobia?

The top 5

Okay, so there's a lot of buzzing about how Adam Lambert was in the bottom two this week despite blowing everyone away with his performance, and there's quite a bit of speculation about there being some kind of PLOT where religious right (and anti-gay) voters are massing their votes for everyone else to get Adam voted off the show...

(check out here (in comments) and here. - okay, note that the Bill O'Reilly video clip url over on youtube includes the word "Ass." So appropriate. They actually blocked out the lips part of the gay kiss photos of Adam from the internet when they showed them on Fox news!!!! Arrrgh!!!)

Now Matt Giraud was ultimately voted off this week, but what could be behind Adam's near-elimination?

Danny Gokey

Isn't it possible that Danny Gokey is seen as a Christian poster-boy, and Adam is just too...

well, even without coming out and saying it, Adam, with his boy-on-boy kisses and videos where he talks about what he "prefers" is
GAY GAY GAY!


Adam Lambert


Never mind who's the best singer (Danny's good, but IMHO Adam is better) in many ways American Idol is a popularity and role model contest. Just like Miss California not wanting to represent ALL of of the U.S.A. (revealed through her anti-same-gender marriage answer to Perez Hilton's question), there's a role model element to being The American Idol, no matter how much Randy reminds us every week that
"Dawg, this is a singing competition!"
So, Dawgs, what do you think?

Were pro-Adam viewers so confident that everyone else was going to vote for him that he nearly got eliminated due to complacency?

Or is there a right-wing conspiracy targeting Adam because they don't want "The American Idol" - a "star," held up as an "idol" to the world, to be a gay man?

And if there is an anti-gay, anti-Adam plot at work, what do you think we should do about it?
