I think fans just like different looks and styles on Adam. If you don't like one look or style that someone else prefers, it somehow becomes a gay thing. He is gay no matter what look he has on. For me, the more costume looks are not my favorites. I didn't care for the spacesuit like baggy short pants for TOH. There wasn't anything gay about the look but it made me think of something Bieber would wear (right or wrong, lol) Now this era the wardrobe was so polished and sharp but by no means tame. Edgy. GMA. El Rey. NY youtube. The Talk. UK Strictly. A Home for the Holidays. Corden. Now that was a sharp dressed man every time. Was he any less gay? No he wasn't. A more mature and stylish look. YES and YES. But Adam is a whole person. And he chose these styles and looks because that was what he wanted. He said he wanted to do more authentic music and he did. He even named some artists that caught his attention. I think it was all less pop and a more mature style. I love it and i love "Velvet". It was not forced on him by the evil suits. Not sure why we can't like what we like. I love most of his Queen outfits. They are not tame either but they generally don't look like costumes. OTT sometimes but in a rockstar kind of way. Maybe we should just get out of each others head and stop trying to figure out why someone likes a look or not. Most of the time people will say what and why they like something and there is no need to put another's spin on it. No one is shy here. I think he looks lovely in makeup but don't care for it when it really heavy with a lot of glitter. Also don't care for the beard when it is too heavy. Don't care for the shaved head. Or the bright red or green or grey hair. I don't think about his sexuality when I like or dislike a particular look. And I understand Adam will wear and look the way he wants. But I get to like one look over another anyway, lol. Same. For me, liking or disliking something has very little to do with Adam's sexuality, but there are looks that I find more appealing and flattering than others. Would I tweet or message Adam about it negatively? No. (Now that I think about it, even back on Idol did I not associate the "eyeliner" with Adam's sexuality, and this may sound totally aloof but we kept watching for weeks until my husband was wondering if Adam was gay lol. It may have been ROF haha. We shrugged if off and kept watching and became huge fans. Back then I was not even on any fan forums or social media and I didn't even know about that famous Entertainment Weekly cover. We were just "casual fans" who voted every week. Once Adam lost in the finale, I joined my first fan forum and I rapidly learned a lot about Adam by watching Youtube videos from his earlier days. A whole new world opened up haha)

... and I agree with those who think that Adam is his most authentic self now. I too believe that what we see is him.

I don’t think that makes you naive Happy. To me it just means that we can’t stereotype people.
