When I read yesterday that David Hernandez was a former stripper, all I could think about was how many past celebrities have made it regardless or because of doing some crazy things before hand. In truth, many hollywood-wanna-bes have to go that route sometimes just to make enough money to survive and make it to the next audition. Plus, we never shunned Prince or David Bowie for their racey pasts, we praised them and continued to be dedicated fans...well most of us anyway....(I know you know the lyrics to Purple Rain...don't hide).
The point is, I'm happy that Fox and 'Idol' didn't choose to dismiss him based on his sexuality or his past work experience. Look where he is now...he was chosen out of millions of people and is now on the most watched TV show of all time....and that's amazing.
