I haven't weighed in on the Michael Jackson spectacle, and really don't want to do so now. Cleary, the guy has got, er, "issues." Whether the prosecution proved its child molestation case wasn't so clear from my (admittedly) cursory tracking of the trial.
But in light of the controversial acquittal, you may want to
revisit James Kirchick's article posted last September, Michael
Jackson, Yale's 'Queer Theory' Post Boy, about how professors
of "queer studies" have lauded Jackson for his "subversion" of
traditional gender and sexual roles.
