THOUGH AS QUEER AS A THREE-DOLLAR BILL HER SCHOLARLY WORK, SEDGWICK'S OWN SEX LIFE ULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE RPECTABLE. "AS FAR AS 'HAVG SEX' GO," SHE WROTE HER MEMOIR, "THGS ULDN'T POSSIBLY BE MORE HYGIENIC OR ROUTIZED FOR ME. WHEN I DO , 'S VANILLA SEX, ON A WEEKLY BASIS, THE MISSNARY POSN, DAYLIGHT, IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SHOWER, WH ONE PERSON OF THE SO-LLED OPPOSE SEX, TO WHOM I'VE BEEN LEGALLY MARRIED FOR ALMOST A QUARTER OF A CENTURY." • VIEW OUR VERAGE OF AMERIN IDOL SEASON 9 I DON'T KNOW WHETHER SEDGWICK EVER WATCHED AMERIN IDOL, BUT I IMAGE THAT IF SHE HAD, SHE WOULD HAVE UNRSTOOD RYAN SEACRT AS SOMEONE SIAR TO HERSELF AND TO THE FICTNAL CHARACTERS WHOSE INTI SHE PLITED. THERE IS LIKELY NO AMERIN CELEBRY WHO MORE FULLY HABS WHAT QUEER THEORISTS LL A "LIMAL" SEXUAL STATE—A PLACE -BETWEEN A CULTURE'S SEXUAL TEGORI—THAN THE IDOL HOST.SEACRT'S SEXUALY HAS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF THE IDOL STORY SCE THE SHOW BEGAN 2002, LARGELY BEE OF SIMON COWELL'S RELENTLS ATTEMPTS TO DO TO SEACRT WHAT SEDGWICK DID TO BRISH NOVELS. THE ACIDIC BRISH TALENT JUDGE SIMPLY WILL NOT LET SEACRT BE STRAIGHT. PERHAPS UNAWARE THAT AMERINS DON'T SAY SUCH THGS PUBLIC, COWELL PUNCTUAT HIS PUT-DOWNS OF SEACRT WH "SWEETHEART," SUGGTED THE HOST "SHOULD KNOW" WHETHER A NTTANT'S HIGH HEELS WERE FASHNABLE, AND EVEN UNSELED SEACRT TO "E OUT" OF THE CLOSET. IN 2006 THE GAY AND LBIAN ALLIANCE AGAST DEFAMATN WAS SO TROUBLED BY COWELL'S HECTORG SUATNS THAT NTACTED THE AMERIN IDOL PRODUCERS TO "DISCS OUR NCERNS—AND THE NCERNS OF MUNY MEMBERS AND ALLI—WHO HAVE NTACTED ABOUT THIS MATTER." TWO YEARS LATER, BRIAN DUNKLEMAN, SEACRT'S -HOST DURG THE SHOW'S FIRST SEASON, REPORTED THAT "THE QUTN I GET ASKED THE MOST" WAS "IS RYAN GAY?"THE IDOL HOST, WHOSE ERRATIC BEHAVR THIS SEASON HAS TENSIFIED THE SPECULATN ABOUT HIS PERSONAL LIFE, IS HOUND ABOUT HIS SEXUALY EVEN OUTSI THE SHOW. AT THE 2009 OSRS, WHERE SEACRT WORKED THE RED RPET FOR E!, -HOST JAY MANUEL, THE OPENLY GAY MAKP ARTIST AND STAR OF AMERI'S NEXT TOP MOL, NOTED SEACRT'S UNABASHED ENTHIASM FOR ONE ACTRS' GOWN. WH A SE, MANUEL TOLD THE DIENCE THAT "RYAN WAS LOVG THAT DRS" THEN ASKED HIS LLEAGUE, "FASHN'S YOUR FAVORE SUBJECT, RIGHT, RYAN?" AND WHEN SEACRT SERVED AS SUBSTUTE HOST ON CNN'S LARRY KG LIVE HE RECEIVED A MOST UNWELE PLIMENT OM CNN ANCHOR ANRSON COOPER—HIMSELF A PUBLIC FIGURE OF GREAT LIMALY. "THAT'S THE BIGGT TIE I'VE EVER SEEN," COOPER SAID OF SEACRT'S EXAGGERATED PK NECKPIECE. TRAPPED SI THE JOKE, SEACRT BLURTED, "YOUR BOW IS TY AND ME IS HUGE," TO WHICH COOPER LIVERED THE FATAL QUEERG BLOW: "I'VE HEARD THAT OFTEN."TRAGILLY, SEACRT'S RPONSE TO ALL THIS HAS BEEN TO FIGHT RATHER THAN SUBM. "DON'T LL ME SWEETHEART," HE SHOT BACK AT COWELL AFTER ONE OF THE FIRST PROVOTNS. “WE DON’T HAVE THAT KD OF RELATNSHIP. I DON’T WANT THAT KD OF RELATNSHIP.” OFTEN THE BATTL, SEACRT TURNS THE ACCATNS BACK AT HIS PERSECUTOR, RATCHETG UP THE HOMOPHOBIA AND BRGG TO MD SHAKPEARE'S OBSERVATN THAT THE SURT WAY TO CRIMATE ONELF IS TO "PROTT TOO MUCH." TO COWELL'S "CLOSET" QUIP, SEACRT JABBED BACK, "STAY OUT OF MY CLOSET" AND "THIS IS ABOUT THE TOP 12, NOT YOUR WISH."SEACRT ACTS MORE SUBTLY BUT NO LS FORCEFULLY AGAST HIS GAY INTY ON HIS SYNDITED RAD PROGRAM, ON AIR WH RYAN SEACRT, WHERE HE ADOPTS A HIGHLY MASCULE, "DU-BRO" POSE. TO WHAT MT BE A YOUNG, MORE HETEROSEXUAL MOGRAPHIC THAN IDOL HAS, SEACRT LETS FLY WH HOMOPHOBIC NUENDO AND LASCIV MENTS ABOUT FEMALE CELEBRI.ASI OM S NTRIBUTN TO ANTI-GAY SENTIMENT A SOCIETY WHERE "FAGGOT" REMAS THE PRIMARY EPHET SCHOOLYARDS, SEACRT'S REFAL TO ACCEPT HIS OWN QUEERG MIGHT ALSO BE A POOR BS CISN. LAST WEEK HE NEED TO LOOK NO FARTHER THAN THE ONT OF THE DORIUM FOR EVINCE OF THIS.STG TWO CHAIRS OM COWELL WAS AMERIN IDOL'S NEWT JUDGE, ELLEN DEGENER, WHOSE REER AND STATURE HAVE MOVED TO GREATNS SCE SHE ME OUT 1997. ADAM LAMBERT SERVED AS THE GUT MENTOR FOR THE SHOW, FOLLOWG A YEAR WHICH HE TABLISHED HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR IDOL NTTANTS WH A SERI OF BARET-FLECTED SUBVERSNS OF AMERIN POPULAR MIC AND EXTEND HIS FAME AT THE AMERIN MIC AWARDS SHOW WH WHAT MANY HAVE LLED THE RNCHIT AND MOST OUTWARDLY HOMOEROTIC PERFORMANCE WORK TELEVISN HISTORY. SEATED BEHD LAMBERT WERE THE STARS OF GLEE, THERE TO PROMOTE WHAT IS FOX'S SEND HOTTT SERI AND, ACRDG TO ROLLG STONE MAGAZE, THE "GAYT. SHOW. EVER."REGARDLS OF HIS SEXUAL ORIENTATN, SEACRT IS UNIQUELY POSNED TO BROAN OUR CULTURE WH LTLE OR NO PENALTY. THE NEXT TIME HE IS LLED GAY HE NEED SIMPLY SAY, "Y, I AM."EDOR’S NOTE: AN EARLIER VERSN OF THIS STORY NTAED THE PHRASE “SEXUAL PREFERENCE.” IT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO “SEXUAL ORIENTATN.”PL: CHECK OUT MORE OF THE LATT ENTERTAMENT, FASHN, AND CULTURE VERAGE ON SEXY BEAST—PHOTOS, VIOS, FEATUR, AND TWEETS.THAD RSELL IS THE THOR OF THE FORTHG A RENEGA HISTORY OF THE UNED STAT (FREE PRS/SIMON & SCHTER, 2010).
