Alright peeps, listen up. A lot of you had probably heard about Adam Lambert, and his performance at the AMAs, right? Well, it's been causing a lot of backlash, and a LOT of discrimination that can NOT be tolerated.
This isn't about just about people who are fans of Adam's, this is about anyone who believes that homosexuality should be treated exactly the same way as heterosexuality. Though Adam's performance was pushing a lot of boundaries, pretty much all those boundaries, and more, had been pushed by performances earlier in the evening. From singing about rapes, to carrying rifles, to crotch crabbing, air humping, just about anything you can think about.
The only difference is, Adam is a guy, and he was doing it with a guy. Afterward, ABC abruptly canceled Adam from a Good Morning America performance, just one day in advance. Luckily for fans who had made arrangements to come see him, from as far as Japan, even, CBS scooped him up for the Early Show for the same morning.
However the discrimination didn't stop there. During the show, the woman interviewing him not so subtly tried to get him to apologize for traumatizing children, to which Adam responded with the complete truth.
He's not a babysitter.
The entire AMAs were racy, and it was advertised all night that Adam's performance would be scandalous. Parents had plenty of time to change the channel. Never mind it aired at 10:55 est/ 9:55c when parents should always be wary of what's being showed. As he stated, if Parents are that concerned about what their children are watching they should use the DVR, preview late-night shows and make sure they're appropriate before letting their children watch.
But aside from that, leading into Adam's interview, CBS showed a completely uncensored picture of Britney and Madonna kissing. But when it came to Adam kissing his STRAIGHT band member, the picture was completely censored out, reinforcing all of Adam's statements that there is a double-standard between what women can do on stage sexually, and what men can do.
Never mind what a gay man can do to another man.
These sort of double-standards and discrimination are just not acceptable as far as I'm concerned and I hope a lot of you will agree with me. Whether you think Adam's performance went to far, whether you didn't see it, or don't care, the point is that as long as society keeps deciding that homosexual acts are somehow more indecent than heterosexual ones, our country is is never going to move forward.
Below is a petition protesting ABC's decision to censor Adam Lambert's performance for the west coast showing. I hope if you agree you will consider signing it, and adding your support.
