Is gene simmons gay
A little over a month after acting on stage with Adam Lambert during the "American Idol" Season 8 finale, KISS frontman Gene Simmons has claimed the runner-up set his career in jeopardy by announcing he was gay.
In a recent interview with AOL Television to promote the return of his A&E reality exhibit "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," Gene said Adam's decision to come out has effectively stopped the handsome 20-something's career in its tracks.

"He's enormously talented, best talent 'American Idol' has had, but I think he killed his career because now conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference," Gene said.
Shortly after "Idol" wrapped up, Adam came out in a cover story for Rolling Stone magazine — although, by his own admission, Adam joked he was "never really in" the closet. But Gene believes some people won't be able to fetch past Adam's uncovering about his sexual preference.

ORIGINAL KISS GUITARIST ON HIS FORMER BANDMATE GENE SIMMONS: “I DON’T THINK HE MAKES ANY SENSE”
Ace Frehley believes Kiss bassist Gene Simmons has “alienated just about everybody on the planet” with his recent comments on depression, addiction and poverty. And the guitarist has predicted his former colleague could next twist on gay people – all because he doesn’t understand the human condition.
His comments stem from Simmons’ incendiary comments about depression, when he claimed his letter to anyone preparing to grab their own lives was, “Fuck you, then kill yourself.” He later apologized for his statements.
Now Frehley tells Artisan News Service, “First he attacks immigrants, then he belittles poor people by saying, ‘Be nice to the rich people because we’re the ones that give you jobs.’ Then he attacks people with depression, alcoholics, drug addicts. The only thing left for him to do is to charge the whole gay movement. I’ve heard him do that in private, so that’s probably still yet to come.”
The guitarist argues Simmons isn’t as clever as he likes to think. “I don’t think he makes any sense,” he reflec
Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehleyhas offered his thoughts on the controversy created by former bandmate Gene Simmons, who suggested that people suffering from mental health issues should provide up and commit suicide.
“Gene has single-handedly alienated just about everybody on the planet,”Ace tells Artisan News Service. “First he attacks immigrants, then he belittles poor people by saying ‘be gentle to the prosperous people because we’re the ones that give you jobs.’ Then, he attacks people with depression, alcoholics, drug addicts…the only thing left for him to do is to attack the whole gay movement; I’ve heard him act that in secret, so that’s probably still yet to come.”
“I don’t consider he makes any sense,”continued the guitarist. “He prides himself on being such an intellectual, he brags about organism able to talk 7 languages, but when it comes to being knowledgeable about the human condition…y’know, depression is a very grave disease - I’ve suffered from it in my lifetime, I know my daughter suffers from it. Alcoholism is a disease; so is drug addiction – i
KISS’ Paul Stanley Addresses Same-sex attracted Rumor, Discusses Working With Gene Simmons
There have been many rumors about Touch over the years, but the one that's always taken vocalist Paul Stanley by surprise is that he's gay. During a chat with New Zealand's The Breeze (seen above), Stanley was questioned about the craziest rumor he's heard about himself.
He told interviewer Robert Scott, "The oddest, to me, was always — and it's always persisted over moment -- is that I'm gay. And it's an interesting thing, because if I were, I'd be proud to be whatever I am. As distant as you're a fine person, sexual orientation and stuff like that is totally irrelevant."
The rocker went on to add, "Besides having four children, honestly, I never saw a guy where I said, 'Gee, that's a block second to a woman.' Honestly, I never looked and said, 'You perceive, if I can't own that girl over there, I'm taking the bloke,' you know what I mean? So that's always been really interesting -- that some people can't find a way to take my comfort with sexuality to misreading it as something it&apos
