So what?

What else would you expect on tv?

There is a big push by Hollywood, New York, the news/entertainment media, the National Teachers' Union, PBS, the Federal Government, etc. to force the GLBT agenda upon us.

Which is why I don't understand why Apostolics give tacit approval of this stuff by watching it.

As Ryan says everytime the show starts. "This is American Idol".
It's not "fits right wing conservative morality" idol.
It's supposed to be about the best performer. PERIOD.
Sexuality shouldn't play into the discussion.
You're not choosing people for your next conference.
I've always felt sorry for the blatantly gay in "Apostolic/Pentecostal" circles.
It's not like they'll confide in any of you.(from what I've seen)
It's the elephant in the room...oops, I mean on the platform.

eyeliner=has sex with men. Interesting theory.

I don't watch American Idol at all, so I keep seeing this thread and thinking "Christopher Lambert".

"There can be only one!"

If someone is blatantly gay there is no point in confiding..good grief.

I believe Adam's genre of music is more alternative/rock/metal ... if that's correct, there are a lot of males in that genre who wear eye liner.

I have to leave that up to the pastor.

Some pastors will not allow facial hair on the platform.

Some pastors will not allow colored shirts on the platform.

Some pastors will not allow wedding rings on the platform.

Some pastors will not allow neckties on the platform.

I have to leave that up to the pastor.

I have to ask - are you gay and "on a platform"?

The difference between a homosexual and the other issues you have on your list is homosexuality is something in the Bible that is dealt with in black and white - it is a sin and says so in the bible period - wearing colored shirts, neckties, are issues that are personal convictions and yes is up to a pastor whether he wants that on a platform - you need to compare apples to apples.

Oh, please. I'm an American, I'm a right wing conservative, so if I want to vote (or not vote) for someone based on those views, I'm welcome to.

Their character matters. If it doesn't--it should. And I can make it matter with my vote. Even if my vote is the only one.

Quit trying to be so politically correct. "Sexuality" shouldn't play into the discussion? If a person is public with their sexuality, they give others the right to have an opinion about it, and to express that opinion. If they didn't want to give others that right, they should keep it private.

Regardless, AI has always been about the whole package. Not just the singing. They have to look good, be good, and perform well on stage as well as be able to sing. If I decide to take the time to vote for someone (which is rare anyway), I will consider everything about them that concerns me.

As for homosexuals on platforms--unless someone states publicly that they are homosexual, I don't feel I have the right to judge them as being such--I'm not God, I don't know their hearts. Are you, and do you?

Some men are effeminate, and that should be dealt with. However, saying effeminacy necessarily equals homosexuality is like saying a woman with a gregarious personality (which can be viewed as "flirty") is necessarily an adulteress. Not good to make those kinds of leaps.
