Reply #63: I use the term "reliable" relating to statistical significance.

Line up 100 young married male/female couples of today (not 50 or 25 years ago like Rock Hudson and Elton John)and there is some (I don't know it precisely)mathematical probability that x% will be heterosexual.
I'm guessing that x would be in the high 90's. To me, that is a reliable assumption if every time you line up 100 couples x% comes out about the same number of male/female heterosexuals.

Kris made no secret of his marriage. Adam has been coy; he has neither confirmed nor denied
his sexual orientation, preferences, identity or whatever you want to call it. Rock Hudson lived in fear
that coming out would destroy his career--and in fact, in the 1950's it probably would have. I don't think
that if Adam is gay coming out will make a damn bit of difference to his career. I don't think it mattered
to Simon, Randy, Paula or Kara. Would it have mattered to Idol viewers? To some, yes, and to others
it would not.


Will it matter to producers, agents, people who stand to make money off Adam's career? I doubt it.
