Stripping Is Something Simon Doesn't Judge - TMZ.com - Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip and Hollywood Rumors
Video is at the link.Some people think David Hernandez should be tossed off "Idol" for shaking his man parts at a gay strip club -- but Simon Cowell is much more sympathetic to the plight of a man who wears tight clothing.
If this were a female contestant who was a stripper, do you think there would be such outcry over the stripping?
I'm trying to figure how much of this reaction is about legal sex industry work and how much is homophobia. I thought strippers were so mainstream as to be tame these days. I'm voting for homophobia, as any coverage I've seen focused not on stripping exactly, but on a male performing for a male.
As always, I don't get the outcry. He was working in a legal job that gave flexibility and good money for the hours worked.
