> Effeminate male contestants often sing at their own peril. “I don’t mean this disrespectfully… shave off your beard and wear a dress,” scowling judge Simon Cowell told rejected ‘Idol’ wannabe Charles Berry. Fellow judge Randy Jackson had this pointed question for Zachary Travis, another reject: “Are you a girl?” [http://articles.news.aol.com/tv/article.adp?id=20060123173509990014](http://articles.news.aol.com/tv/article.adp?id=20060123173509990014) [http://tmz.aol.com/article2?id=20060119184809990010](http://tmz.aol.com/article2?id=20060119184809990010) ---

People are too sensitive these days… I saw the tail end of the episode with Zachary Travis in it. That dood looked like a girl, I am sorry to say. I would have said the exact same thing. On the positive, it seems regardless of what kind of person you are, there is some group out there to back you up and stick up for you in times like these, but come on. Enough is enough. ---

I don’t get the point. I’ve got nothing against gay people, but just 'cause you’re gay is different from being a flamer. Flamers deserve to be laughed at, gay or straight. ---
