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."

and Jack Black on MTV when he stood on stage and claimed what he said was a “mock” prayer to Satan!
Let's put things in perspective, though -- fellow reality runner-up Susan Boyle is on a pace to sell 600,000 albums in her first week.
Hey Ol’l Sparky, You might be right, but I don’t think it’s been proven one way or the other. Heck, I’ve seen wild animals acting gay, and birth defects happen all the time.
I still see the behavior as an unnatural choice and I am not trying to defend homosexuals. (I’m about as Archie Bunker as it gets). Even discussing this stuff makes me ill. I kinda figure that if it was natural behavior, it wouldn’t be addressed in the bible as a bad thing.
This guy is just a gay nobody who made a spectacle of himself on live tv. What did he expect? To be treated like Madonna or Britney Spears?
“If they want to be gay, fine by me..but dont go on TV shows parading around your homosexual propaganda in my face.”
- This is a little like saying, “I’m fine with Islam..just don’t go around throwing it in my face”. There is no such thing. No separation of church and state since it is a political ideology. For the gays, before they can descend further into hellish perversions, they must have a certain level of acceptance, which increases every year. Being “fine with it” is actually sanctioning all aspects of it, lock, stock and barrel.
Well, there seems to be tons of male and male kissing on Torchwood, and I’m alright by it. I mean they don’t over due it, my biggest problem is that the aliens are invading and ready to wipe the human race, and Jack just wants to make out with Ianto.
The two parties are one and the same.
“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 dont go on TV shows parading around your homosexual propaganda in my face. I am sick of this crap already.”
The happiness of homosexuals is clearly frenetic desperation. Those who are truly happy in this world have no need to spend their lives insisting everyone else believe that they are happy. A truly happy person is obvious. Gays, no matter how they posture and pose and strut never look happy. Even when they stretch those smiles, their eyes are dead. Sorry gay parade masters - you can parade to you’re blue in the face, and you can make a sordid spectacle of yourself on national televsion but no one believes any of you are tickled to be spending most of your life energy committing sodomy, etc and breaking cardinal sins against God and his blueprint for humankind.
The 1st time I watched Idol was when my former in-laws in Arkansas notified that a cousin of theirs (and my ex wife’s) had made it to the final 10.
I watched Kris Allen, the cousin, from then to the end.
Lambert was difficult to watch ever during that time as the flaming queen was performing. I kept wanting to turn the channel, but felt I had to compare him and Kris. ...Apparantly, the public voters agreed with me that Lambert was disgusting and that Kris was #1.
It has been said over and over that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
This p.o.s. should be shunned forever but of course there is a segment of society sick enough to embrace his garbage.
aaarrrrgggg my eyes.
Sex Addiction Rehab with Dr. Drew??
I bet Zero the Magnificent has a cabinet position ready for him. :0)
Animal sexuality doesn't compare to human sexuality. Animal sexuality is often smell and poor sense of it results in homosexual behavior. Male animals rape other ones to establish dominance.
Animals eat their young and, in some cases, gang rape to reproduce. We can't learn much about human behavior from animals.
I like their original name:The Chicago Transit Authority. I wish they could’ve kept it.
I watched the Youtube of the AMA Lambert Video. Garbage rating in talent, performance, singing and overall entertainment.
