Ellen DeGeneres has been named the most influential gay personality in America in a recent poll by Out magazine. DeGeneres beat Adam Lambert, Marc Jacobs and Neil Patrick Harris to clinch the top spot on the magazine’s annual Power 50 list.
According to Contactmusic,
The star, who is married to actress Portia de Rossi, claimed the top spot in Out’s annual Power 50 rundown. Singer Adam Lambert and How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris featured in the top ten, claiming fifth and seventh place respectively. Fashion designers Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford were also high in the rundown – at 11 and 13. Moviemaker Lee Daniels was at 25, while comedienne Wanda Sykes featured at 36. Jodie Foster was placed 41st and Milk director Gus Van Sant came in at 43.
I’m just too happy for Ellen, but the real reason behind my euphoria is Adam Lambert’s loss. In spite of all the hullabaloo he’s been creating since he lost the American Idol crown, he failed to secure even a second or third spot on the Power 50 List. He came fifth! I just hate that filth. And before you even think about labeling me as anti-gay, let me tell you I’m already celebrating Ellen’s victory. A big congratulations to Ellen DeGeneres!
