Morning Piss: The Zachary and Adam Factor

Zachary Quinto and Adam Lambert are two of the country's hottest, most alive, most talented young men rising in the arts right now: Quinto as a young Spock in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, and Lambert, in case you've been hiding under a rock the size of Paul Abdul's pill collection, as the most fiery contestant on American Idol in ages.

Indeed, Lambert very well may take the Idol crown from corn-fed dude Kris Allen tonight. Here's hoping! But look, here's the rub, as it were: Much has been whispered and gossiped and talked about regarding Quinto's and Lambert's sexualities. Are they gay or not? Do they have girlfriends or boyfriends? A money-paying public has the right to know, right?

Yes...and no.

I get Quinto's and Lambert's reticence completely. They want a damn chance to get their names out there, talent-wise, before hate-spewing Bill O'Reilly and his ilk start questioning whether or not guys like this should even be in the public eye. Jeez, it's no wonder folks don't want to come out, what with half of Fox News' viewership ready to tar and feather anybody they even half suspect of being gay! Thanks a lot, intolerant America.
