Adam Lambert—dressed in what I would call a piece from the (non-existent) Keith Haring Occult line—performed Madonna's "Ray of Light" at 2012 VH1 Divas last night and from the off-key, shaky opening seemed about to suffer the same fate Madonna suffered when she performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards all those years ago. However, it seemed to be an issue of his not being able to hear himself because things quickly changed for the better. Nice job...

BOY CULTURE REVIEW: *** OUT OF ****

Last night was Home for the Holidays, what's becoming an annual event hosted by Cyndi Lauper ("& Friends") to raise money for her True Colors Fund, which benefits homeless LGBT youth. While the night also offered Lauper ample opportunity to remind us of her beloved music catalogue, her upcoming Broadway show Kinky Boots and WE reality series Still So Unusual (even her underrated 1988 movie Vibes got a shout-out!), there's no questioning that her heart's in the right place, nor would you get very far if you attempted to convince anyone her charm or vocal skills are on any kind of decline.

Together, we watched what happened—live

The show started right on time and spanned three hours, including brief appearances by Whoopi Goldberg (a bit discombobulated), Andy Cohen (studly in plaid and denim) and Carson Kressley (game for anything, including jokes about Grindr that Cohen could be seen having to lean over and explain to Rosie O'Donnell), not to mention a pretty hysterical stand-up spot by Rosie.

What makes a song "gay?"

Is it the singer's real-life sexual persuasion, the explicit or implicit (and positive or negative) lyrical content, how it has been embraced by the gay community, being inextricably linked with its homo-erotic video...or something else?

Or all of the above?

"Wait...'YMCA' is about more than just hittin' the gym?"

My picks for the gayest songs of all time follow below in alphabetical order by artist. There is also a separate post (with a crazy load time) with the songs arranged somewhat creatively for your listening/viewing enjoyment.

Feel free to tell me what am I missing, in both senses of the question...

Madonna, Gaga, Sylvester, too/Cole Porter, we love you...

Here are the links from my original post, arranged somewhat thematically or at least for flow.

There are 150ish videos that follow, so prepare for a long load time.

Again, feel free to tell me what am I missing, in both senses of the question...

October 19 is Spirit Day, an annual day to wear purple as a show of solidarity in the fight for LGBT youth. GLAAD has launched the campaign here, if you'd like more info. Otherwise, figure out what you have that's purple and bring it out of the closet on the 19th.

Joseph almost committed suicide because of anti-gay bullying

Spirit Day is all about supporting people like Joseph from Tennessee, whose story is movingly told in this short video by Elliott London. Please share it...

With the #1 debut of his album Trespassing, Adam Lambert becomes the very first out gay artist to debut at #1 and the first to have a #1 album at all. (Not counting that out gay artist who did it during Reconstruction.) Others like Melissa Etheridge or George Michael hit #1, but never after coming out. Congrats, kid!

Speaking of out singers, Matt Zarley is offering his fans a chance to co-star in his new music video for "Change Begins With Me".

Enter to win the co-starring gig by shooting and uploading a video of yourself displaying a written phrase (five words or less) that explains how you can make yourself a better person. Creativity counts, people! Matt will pick his 25 favorites to be used in his video.

Submit your film (10 seconds or less) here. (Log-in and password are both changevideo.) The contest is open through June 10th. Good luck!
