GLAAD Defends ABC In Booting Adam Lambert
Posted by Michael Melchor on 12.04.2009
They actually bought that explanation?
Gay rights group GLAAD has released a statement in support of ABC's decision to boot Lambert from "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and an upcoming New Year's Eve special in the wake of his AMA performance.
ABC sent a statement to GLAAD, explaining how Adam's removal was "not a question of Lambert's sexual orientation" but was instead because his live performance at the AMAs differed "greatly" from rehearsals and "caught the network off guard"-- which is justification for dropping him from other live shows. (This despite the fact that neither Adrien Brody nor Halle Berry were banned from appearing on any ABC shows after their "unscripted" make-out session at the 2003 Academy Awards.)
Today, GLAAD backed ABC's explanation saying, "It would appear that the kiss between Adam Lambert and his keyboardist did not factor into ABC's decision ... ABC has a history of positive gay and transgender inclusion that includes featuring kisses between gay and lesbian couples on-air." GLAAD has, however, "asked ABC and calls on them for clarification on 'caught off guard' so that the community knows why Lambert is being denied the opportunity to perform on the network."
GLAAD is a joke anyways. No one takes them seriously.

Haha, it sounds like Adam Lambert is too gay for GLAAD.

I'm sorry I thought you needed a reason to work on network television not a reason not to. HE fucked up, he's already ruining his career, and he only has one person to blame himself. Couldn't of been the gay guy with the great voice and entertainment value. Instead you had to try and use being gay to turn you into the next Lady GaGa, well fool you can only blame yourself.

who cares about abc anyway? that channel is about as relevant as last year's weather.
and if glaad can't see the hypocrisy in what abc did, then who needs them, either.
Go, Adam - give 'em hell!

What ABC shows were Halle Berry and Adrian Brody on?
A performance and an emotional moment are two completely different things

But isn't the mainstream media an evil left wing propaganda machine designed to make our kids gay? And bottoms no less!

Geuss he should have listened to Gene Simmons when it was suggested to focus on the music and not try to use his homosexuality to boost his career. Because it seems right now his love life is overshadowing his singing.
