hh proves his point yet again.
this is so stupid. honestly, he shouldn’t even be having to talk about this. but i love him for defending himself so sexily.

Mop me off the floor. Can this guy ever express himself. I wish I could talk off the cuff so intelligently. I can’t wait until we get the first gay president (ha).

Its true, Adam shouldn’t have to talk about this crap or explain his actions, but everytime he does, I see light bulbs going off in young people’s brains all over the country. I don’t want him ever to stop talking and explaining. He doesn’t realize how much it means to the young people just beginning to understand themselves. He doesn’t want that job but he has it, and I am glad he does.

Vanilla!

lmariewilson says:

Gah, I love listening to him speak. I would vote for him if he ever decided to run for…anything. He doesn’t need a PR team, he does just fine on his own. I mean, really, I can’t see anyone else being able to stand up to all this pressure and defend themselves like this without a buffer or prewritten statements and such. I’m so glad that he’s not going to apologize. He apologized for the bad notes and that’s it, lol. I’m so proud of him. He’s one smart cookie.

For some reason that fact that his sex life is very vanilla is sexy to me. He wants a romantic connection…that sounds sweet and intense.

A petition was mentioned in the interview. Here’s a link to it:

To: ABC
ABC’S CENSORSHIP OF ADAM LAMBERT’S PERFORMANCE AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS (AMA) ILLUSTRATES A DISCRIMINATORY DOUBLE STANDARD APPLIED TO GAY MEN.

ABC SAYS IT GOT ONLY 1,500 COMPLAINTS FROM A TOTAL OF 14 MILLION AMA VIEWERS BUT THE STORY IN THE MAINSTREAM PRESS IS HUGE AND LAMBERT IS NOT BEING TREATED FAIRLY. LET’S SUPPORT FREEDOM OF ARTISTIC AND SEXUAL EXPRESSION BY SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Adam Lambert is among the first openly gay US recording artists to earn such a huge profile at the very outset of his career. His recent AMA performance featured some crotch nuzzling and a man-on-man kiss.

ABC censored the kiss during the broadcast by quickly cutting away to a wide shot and subsequently edited the crotch nuzzling completely out of the east coast broadcast. Lambert’s appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, scheduled for the following morning, was cancelled.

Countless music videos and performances by female pop stars and scores of straight hip-hoppers and rockers don’t seem to faze ABC or the viewing public. And freedom of artistic and sexual expression is good and healthy.

I’d like to send a message to ABC and to Lambert’s critics. Let’s flood ABC’s website with notes of protest for censoring Lambert.

Let’s show the mainstream press and ABC what audiences really think of those who censor gay imagery. Let’s pressure the mainstream media to cover this as a story about censorship rather than one about Lambert’s choices.

Censoring Adam Lambert’s performance at the AMA was condescending to audiences and to Lambert. Treating gay sexuality differently from straight sexuality is simply homophobic and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

You have many more than 1,500 gay viewers who are inspired by Lambert and his work. Yet you cave to a tiny minority of bellyachers who can’t possibly have been injured by Lambert’s performance.

Will you issue a public apology to Lambert and to your gay viewers? It’s the least you could do.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

this is actually reminding me why I love Neil so much….I love Adam but we probably wouldn’t have that much in common in real life hahaha

trish says:

That was my thinking exactly…the kiss was HOT. That was my first reaction- damn!
Adam has done so much for my sexual development as a person. I studied abroad, I witnessed some crazy stuff, I’m used to being around gay guys going through a crazy phase. But the androgyny thing is so fascinating.I’m finding myself attracted to PEOPLE, not bound by gender or whatever. It’s a wonderful and freeing feeling. I’m tempted to write him some fanmail, except he wouldn’t get it.
