Here is a ineteresting article I found about defending Adam Lambert and defending gay men in general!
This is also talking about gay double standards!
--------------------------------------------------
After The Early montrer on CBS blurred out the “gay kiss” between Adam Lambert and a male dancer during his AMA performance, the president of GLAAD — the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Jarrett Barrios told the media…
“The Early Show’s decision this morning to blur Adam Lambert’s Kiss from the American musique Awards reinforces an unfortunate double standard that is applied to openly gay performers.”
Barrios continues:
“I would have hoped CBS would provide the same treatment for images of gay and lesbian people and not create an unfair double standard that treats our community differently.”
Funny thing is…minutes later after blurring out the man-on-man smooch, CBS ran an uncensored clip of Madonna sucking face with Britney Spears.
A rebuttal from CBS:
“The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning TV.” par contrast, CBS explained, “The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences.”
In a récent interview, Lambert stated that, “…if it had been a female pop performer doing the moves that were on the stage, I don’t think there would be nearly as much of an outrage.”
He does have a valid point here. Gay men are still looked-down upon in today’s society — that’s the real factor here and of course the network won’t flat out confess it’s their reason for censoring.
On Lambert’s performance at the AMA’s…
He had “no clue at all” that his performance would soon-after spark up some major controversy. He told The Early Show, “I admit, I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it,” he continued. “I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was just to interpret the lyrics to my song and have a good time up there.”

Having come from a theatre background, he stated that he sometimes forgets that there’s “a camera on. I am programmed to kind of look at who’s in the live audience.”
I believe in the end, after this shitstorm passes, the exposure he will have gained in the outcome of this controversy, will benefit him greatly.
