GLAAD Has Issues With ‘Idol’
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has issues with the tone of ‘American Idol’ regarding contestants who the judges believe are gay. A GLAAD spokesperson told TMZ: “GLAAD is reaching out to the show’s producers to discuss our concerns – and the concerns of community members and allies – who have contacted us about this matter.” Jim Verraros, a gay finalist from ‘American Idol’s’ first season, feels the tone comes from the top. Verraros tells TMZ, “I honestly think that if I had come out [as gay] while I was on the show, FOX would’ve edited it out.”
