David Hernandez takes a different stage?

David Hernandez is the latest American Idol finalist to have rumors circulating about him.

There have been rumors running wild about American Idol Top 20 finalist David Hernandez and his alleged time as a gay stripper. It comes with the spotlight that your past will be scrutinized, and David’s time in the spotlight just got a bit more interesting.

In case you haven’t heard, rumors have circulated that David stripped at Dick’s Cabaret before Idol. The singer also worked at the no-longer-in-business Burn, a gay bar in Phoenix. That part of the rumor appears to be a bit more true, as photos have circulated that show David among a group of other guys wearing T-shirts with the bar’s name across the front.

Obviously, people care about this type of news. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be growing legs as more and more sources report the news and update with photographic evidence. But will it matter in the competition? Does being a gay stripper ruin your chances (or maybe improve?) of winning the show? Or does this mean this year’s champion really could the first openly gay winner?
