Just focus on the music and not the overly sexualized gay antics that Adam Lambert does in his early career. It's exactly the same template that applies with pop divas. People just wanna focus on the talent and not the tasteless images.

the difference between sam and the rest of the people listed is that sam was never thought of as a "heartthrob" or was lusted after by teen girls, so it didn't matter what his sexuality is. When you have someone like Shawn who has a fanbase mainly made up of horny little girls, him being gay would significantly damage that
