In the new issue of Out magazine, Maroon 5 singer and coach on The Voice, Adam Levine, recently called out American Idol on something that's been bugging me for a long time. AI may have kept its gay contestants closeted for as long as possible. Sadly, it might be more like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" over on American Idol, as Season 1 contestant Jim Verraros was asked by FOX to remove all the "gay comments" from his online journal. Levine blasts American Idol for allegedly disallowing gay contestants be out on the show:
What's always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask [homosexuality], for that to go unspoken. C'mon. You can't be publicly gay? You can't hide basic components of these people's lives. Let's hope American Idol learns a little something from The Voice in time for next season.
