Adam Lambert Furor Spreads to Gay Community
REUTERS November 25, 2009
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert on Wednesday admitted he got carried away during his racy American Music Awards performance, as furor over his singing and dancing stoked a wider controversy in the U.S. gay community.
More than 14 million people watched the gay, glam rocker close the live AMA telecast on Sunday with a performance that included Lambert kissing a male keyboard player and pushing the head of another performer into his crotch. Complaints poured in to the ABC TV network that aired the show, and it canceled the Lambert's appearance on its "Good Morning America" news and chat show set for Wednesday.
Yet rival network CBS put him on its "The Early Show" program, where Lambert claimed he had not intended to provoke audiences but declined to apologize, saying: "I'm not a baby-sitter. I'm a performer." "I admit I did get carried away, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I do see how people got offended, and that was not my intention," he said.
"If it had been a female pop performer doing the moves that were on the stage, I don't think there'd be nearly as much of an outrage at all," Lambert added. "I think it's because I'm a gay male."
The "Early Show" also ran video footage that blurred Lambert's male kiss, and doing so caused the network its own problem. Gay rights groups accused CBS of hypocrisy by also playing unedited video of a kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears at 2003's MTV Video Music Awards.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) said the CBS decision "reinforces an unfortunate double standard that is applied to openly gay performers."

Pop culture makes my head hurt.
Yet rival network CBS put him on its “The Early Show” program, where Lambert claimed he had not intended to provoke audiences but declined to apologize, saying: “I’m not a baby-sitter. I’m a performer.” “I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I do see how people got offended, and that was not my intention,” he said.
Lying perverted POS.
shcoker
yet again homosexuals act stupid
Queers are disgusting.
the pervert acts really stupid and then claims the victim.
as always
Who give a big cow pie?
I was changing the channel and happened to tune in at the moment this freak was doing his gay happy dance. If they want to be gay, fine by me..but don’t go on TV shows parading around your homosexual propaganda in my face. I am sick of this crap already.
Two years from now he’ll be just coming out of rehab and begging to be on whatever the latest MTV reality pile of crap is. How’s Clay Aiken doing?
the pervert acts really stupid and then claims the victim.
as always
SCUM BUCKET!
What could anyone expect from a homosexual? Whatever conscience they may have had at one time is gone. There is no “small voice” saying that this is perverted or wrong. God has given them over to a depraved mind.
The performance was completely digusting. it was a S & M orgy on display. The song wa sbasically “Yiou think I’m nice but I’m going to freaking hurt you” Real nice. Sick twisted pervert.
That’s because “Gay” is ALL they are, it’s the primary, and usually only means they use to identify themselves.
I firmly believe that a primary reason of the mental aberration known as “homosexuality” is rooted in an unfulfilled hyper sexuality where the only “acceptable” outlet is in the homosexual community. This is the reason that “sex” is used as a primary means of self identification, and why “sex” is a component of their every action.
That is a load of crap. I distinctly remember the announcer, before the preceding commercial, saying that Lambert was going to do something memorable enough for the water-cooler the next day.
"If it had been a female pop performer doing the moves that were on the stage, I don't think there'd be nearly as much of an outrage at all," Lambert added. "I think it's because I'm a gay male."
You think you deserve a pass when Janet Jackson got reamed, and deservedly so, for her intentional wardrobe malfunction?
Adam spare us the gay card.
Who is Adam Lambert?
