I’ve been meaning to write something like this for a long time. Before I say anything, please note that I’m 100% straight (I love the men!).
““American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert built a broad base of support during his run on the show this year. After all, “Idol” got to be the top-rated program on U.S. television by appealing to moms, dads, teens, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs and everyone in between.
So when he took the stage on Sunday night at the American Music Awards and simulated oral sex with a back-up dancer, kissed a male keybordist on the mouth and gestured to the audience with his middle finger, he was bound to lose some of that broad “Idol” audience. Lambert all but said as much when he told Rolling Stone magazine that if his performance “offends (people), then maybe I’m not for them.”
But was it right for Lambert to put on such a sexually charged performance at the AMAs on network television, shortly before 11 p.m. on the East and West Coast and before 10 p.m. Central Time, when some teens and younger viewers might still have been watching the show? Does Lambert bear a special responsibility to reign in his sexual provocation, since he presumably has many young fans from his “Idol” days?
ABC on Tuesday canceled Lambert’s scheduled appearance on its “Good Morning America” as a result of his performance at the AMAs, after it received more than 1,500 complaints about his stage antics, but the singer has other TV appearances lined up.”
Now tell me this:
Why is it that female celebrities like Britney Spears have been putting on slutty performances for YEARS, but the second a guy does it, it causes a huge controversy? The fact that Adam is gay plays a huge part in it. Discrimination much? Absolutely. Even though I agree that Adam’s performance was totally slutty and gross, I give him props for not caring whether he offended anyone or not. It takes a strong person to be openly gay in today’s society, when a majority of the population thinks your whole existence is a “sin”, or whatthefuckever.Do you want to know what REALLY bothers me though?
When parents shelter their kids (teens, in the case of Adam Lambert) from anything related to homosexuality. Being gay is NOT wrong. I don’t give a FUCK about what it says in the bible, or about your morals. By sheltering your kids, you’re basically raising another generation of homophobes.Gay rights?
In the constitution, it says that the US government is not allowed to establish a religion (separation of church and state?). Soooo, then why can’t gay people get married, if the “no gay marraige” law is based off of religious principles? Don’t even get me started on the moral issue.
If you wanted to offend me, all you would have to do is talk shit about gay people. I hope that one day in the near future, they’ll have the same rights as all other straight Americans do.THE END.
Please don’t hate.
