 Adam Lambert controversy, GLAAD releases statement
GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, has issued a statement in response to the Adam Lambert controversy, and the cancellation of his Good Morning America appearance on Wednesday, November 25, 2009.
Adam Lambert was scheduled to perform on the morning show that airs on ABC, but was canceled after his sexually charged performance at the AMA music awards.
Adam Lambert stated after the controversy that he believed he was being victimized by a double standard. When Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera shared a same sex kiss on television, they were not censored, nor edited. Adam Lambert was. When the show aired in Western Time, the sexual scene of simulating oral sex had been edited. Click here to watch the video:

GLAAD released the following statement regarding the Good Morning America Adam Lambert cancellation.
“Some music performances, regardless of the sexual orientation of the performer, are tailored for a primetime audience but not for a morning show audience,” said Jarrett Barrios, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). “It is disappointing that Good Morning America did not give Adam Lambert the opportunity to tailor his performance to their audience, as he did on their show in August 2009. We applaud the CBS Early Show for taking this opportunity to work with Lambert on a performance that is entertaining for an early morning television audience.”
Adam Lambert performed on the CBS Early Show and Late Night with David Letterman instead. |
