Adam Levine Disses ‘American Idol’ Over Shortcoming to Encourage Queer Contestants to Arrive Out
In a fresh interview, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine blasts ‘American Idol,’ claiming the present discourages gay contestants from being clear about their sexuality.
Levine — who’s one of the judges on the rival singing competition reveal ‘The Voice’ — told Out magazine, “What’s always p***ed me off about ‘Idol’ is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken. C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives. The proof that ‘The Voice’ didn’t have any qualms about organism completely open about it is a great thing.”
Four contestants on ‘The Voice’ were openly same-sex attracted, and two — Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez — reached the finals. Two past ‘American Idol’ contestants — Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken — did not show they were queer until after they competed on the show.

That’s just the line Levine, 31, likes to cross, as he tells us. The gay-friendly guy also discussed his hotness eclipsing the band’s music, being domineering, his new fashion venture and freaking out uptight Americans.

Adam Levine: Yes. Was that a gay interview? It’s so funny—a “gay interview.”

AdamLevineis quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most outspoken supporters of same-sex marriage.
The Maroon 5 frontman and "Voice" co-host talks at length about the subject in a new interview, arguing that "people should be allowed to prevail and fail at marriage as they so desire."
"It's just so silly and it doesn't craft any sense to me that you wouldn't be able to marry whomever you want to bond. It's not our business," he tells PrideSource. "I don't know why we're obsessed with making everything in this country our business, all the second. It seems we're a little behind on that, and we just necessitate to make it legal and stop caring so much. It doesn't matter. And it shouldn't matter."
Though the 33-year-old Levine previously spoke to Out magazine about his openly homosexual brother, he insists his stance on LGBT rights and marriage equality would remain the same if that weren't the case. "I don't think I would feel any differently if he happened to be straight," he said. "The relationships that I have with people -- whether it's my brother or a friend, male lover or straight -- that shouldn't really ever approach into play. Someone's sexual preference is their sexual preference. Let'
Just because Adam Levine sometimes thinks a guy’s handsome, doesn’t mean he’s queer , all right?
“I’m extremely pleasant in my sexuality,” the Maroon 5 frontman, 32, tells the September issue of Out magazine. “I can think, Oh, that’s a good-looking dude. Acknowledging that someone’s attractive and wanting to f— a dude are two diverse things.”
Not that he minds terribly if some people find his orientation a bit confusing.

“There’s no way to hide my straightness,” he says, “but if people didn’t think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn’t be doing my job very well.”
Making his point, Levine points to androgynous and possibly heteroflexible rockers of the past who have blazed the trail for him, including David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Queen singerFreddie Mercury.

Adam Levine made headlines earlier this year when he said that if he were US president for a day, the first thing he’d act is make same-sex attracted marriage legal.
The Maroon 5 frontman now says his pro-marriage equality views possess little to carry out with the reality that he has a gay brother.
‘I would feel the same way regardless,’ he says in a new interview with PrideSource.com. ‘I happen to contain a gay brother, but that doesn’t mean I’m more of an advocate for equal human rights. That shouldn’t change anything about the way that I feel.’
‘The relationships that I acquire with people – whether it’s my brother or a friend, gay or straight – that shouldn’t really ever come into play,’ he adds. ‘Someone’s sexual preference is their sexual choice. Let’s move on.’
Levine, whose fame has grown exponentially since his gig as a mentor on NBC’s The Voice, genuinely seems perplexed why the same-sex attracted marriage debate continues to rage on in the US.
