Adam got a mention in the May issue of Vanity Fair! A Fox studio executive said he went to see QAL at the Hollywood Bowl and “ Adam Lambert filled in for Freddie Mercury.” He was there to see who made up the audience, and was struck by how multi-generational it was. He said he knew right then that they had to make sure the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” had a PG-13 rating so more people would be able to see it. I just love to be reading along and have his name pop up. 🙂

Adam got a mention in the May issue of Vanity Fair! A Fox studio executive said he went to see QAL at the Hollywood Bowl and “ Adam Lambert filled in for Freddie Mercury.” He was there to see who made up the audience, and was struck by how multi-generational it was. He said he knew right then that they had to make sure the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” had a PG-13 rating so more people would be able to see it. I just love to be reading along and have his name pop up. 🙂 It always astonishes me how hard fought it still is to present topics like a documentary honoring Freddie's legacy or alternatively anything that is related to Adam's career, as mainstream. The go-to place still seems to be the R-rated section, in the minds of many.
Obviously, we know what happened, when Bohemian Rhapsody gets turned into a PG-13 film, and it now seems a bit out of place to read that for 'Rocketman', they did not go down that same road. Not a smart move, if you ask me, but that is their decision. I don't want to see R-rated stuff around Elton John any more than I would have wanted to see it about Freddie.
Whoever this Fox studio executive responsible for BR was, he clearly has understood something that some others have yet to learn. That the segregated bubbles dictated on us when it comes to the gay community, are definitely a thing of the past. Being homosexual has come out of its separate bubble and into mainstream.
In this context, I wanted to link a quick video from The Abbey, one of Adam's regular stomping grounds in West Hollywood. Yesterday, this bar was a stop on the Presidential tour of one of the candidates for the democratic nomination, Pete Buttigieg. That would not be so note-worthy, if Mayor Pete was running somewhere in the also-rans, around number 20 of the candidates, but he is not. He is in third place, has been now for about a month, the needle has not moved much since then, as the two top tier candidates seem to be locked in. But he is the next one up after that top two group. He was able to rise to the top of the remainder field, in spite of his young age, with zero name recognition, as a mid-west town mayor, and as openly gay man. The fact that he visits such a place like The Abbey and is seemingly not raising a ton of alarms anymore, is huge progress in that unknown world that we so often call mainstream.
So, here is this man, who coincidentally was born just 11 days before Adam in January of 1982, also in Indiana of all places, and he is in third place and being taken seriously by both the media and the public as 'presidential material'. Mainstream indeed.
