GLAAD Gets Mad Over Censorship Of Lambert's Kiss On CBS

lambertcbsglaad.jpg Adam Lambert already talked about his scandalicious AMAs performance this morning on The Early Show, but when CBS played the AMAs clips during the segment, they blurred out the part where Adam makes out with his male keyboardist! It's not like someone's nipple is hanging out, and it looks like the folks at GLAAD are upset at CBS for taking such extreme censorship measures over Adam's eye popping show on Sunday night.

GLAAD issued the following statement:
"The Early Show's decision this morning to blur Adam Lambert's kiss from the American Music Awards reinforces an unfortunate double standard that is applied to openly gay performers. 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."

Seeing as CBS has no problem airing other things, like, oh, Britney kissing Madonna way back when, we think they have a point! So what did CBS have to say in response to that?

CBS issued this statement:

    "The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning TV. 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."

Whose side are you on?



And is the guy-guy kissing really a big deal?

Agree totally. Appreciate CBS interviewing Adam, but I was also surprised and offended they blurred the kiss and the simulated oral sex. Totally double standard. Watch daytime television for real obscene stuff. Murder, adultry, etc., etc., etc. Now that's obscene. What's wrong with sex? Whether male or female? And parents, if your kids were under 12, they should have been in bed. If they were over 12, they already know all this and probably have engaged in it.

Look who is telling parents what to do.
Get a room and keep it off the stage.

This issue isnt about gay or straight. it's about appropriate versus inappropriate. that is what militant gays just dont get.

we are also free not to like or watch his crap too.

It's ok for two women to do these things because both men and women get turned on by it.

When two men do it, men and women are repulsed.

It wasn't "censorship". There's no right to have an act or speech broadcast on national televison. "Free speech" only pertains to political speech anyways...

Madonna and Adam heck i don't care if it was Brad and Angie sticking togues down throats. I would rather not see that. I turn the channel. That is why the networks don't want to show him they lose ratings. So those few of you who think it's 2009 anything goes, get a room! Seriously those of us with morals still out number you. Whatever

Im tired of hearing about whiney gays and lesbos wanting special rights. They should just accept regular rights as we all do. Noway should they get special treatment.

People don't want to see two hairy legged men kiss. men on men sex is nasty and gross.

Once again, accepting no accountability for their actions. And as far as the TV stations still having him on their show, says quite alot. They're scum too.

How long before pedephiles start claiming they were born that way and society is just going to have to accept it and stop discriminating against them?! I know some dumbass will say "thats completely different, pediphilia isn't consentual", but that is not entirely true. Anybody watch To Catch a Predator? More teens and pre-teens are having consentual sex with adults thanks to the computer and our society is looking the other way when it is a gay teen having sex with a gay adult (with exception of the MSNBC TCAP show), but charging statutory rape when its consentual heterosexually. Pedephiles "born that way" argument is identical to gays and they would have every right to make the same arguement gays are making about equal rights now that gays have paved the way for them.

Polygamist and people into beastiality will have a smooth road paved for them also.

Madonna, Britney & You all Suck! Thanks for contributing to the degradation of our society... Losers. Jokes. Doing nothing for the future... only trying to shock to make money. You don't fool anyone. It's all about... stretch the "Artistic Bounds" so that I BECOME RICH & FAMOUS... not caring about the kids who may be influenced. SPIT ON YOU! Shame on you... bet your Dad is REALLY Proud.

Oh god people - get a life or turn the channel....educate your kids so they can make informed decisions about themselves. TV is not the sole teacher of things. If what you view offends you turn the channel or turn the tv off!

How about 'famly' program like Baywatch years ago - sensationalising a woman's physique - is it ok to oggle a jiggling pair of boobs for entertainment? Isnt that crass too? LOL....One rule for one, one rule for others???? Seen First Blood? Weeds? How about Twilight New Moon - Tayler Lautner half naked AND underage helping promote the hype - again different rules. You choose what you want to see and go from there eh?

GLAAD? Disgusting bunch of queers who demand we accept them. Bullshit. Let it be known, "Not in this damn house". Read the sign, No Queers Allowed".

The majority of America best wake up and become more vocal against these sick queers. Think about it, queers make up less than 1% of the population and have a louder voice than the moral majority? What's with this. Look at what 12:26 suggest, "educate our children so that they can make informed decisions"? Obviously another queer trying to recruit your child for his or her sick pleasures.
Man was meant to be with Woman and Woman with Man. We can't allow queers like this GLAAD sick group to be forced down the throats of normal well people. Trust me, a man who wants to stick his dick in another mans shit hole and says he's GLAAD is one sick individual.
Parents WAKE UP and teach your children that queers are obviously suffering from some type emotional trama or possiple a uncureable viral brain sickness due to there queer lifestyle habits and are very very nasty and should be avoided at all times.

F that shit man! They should BEGIN with chastising Britney Spears who is the queen of filthy behavior on and off the stage. Talk about discrimination!



Posted by: mick

They certainly did re-inforce what he said about a double standard considering they blurred him kissing his bandmate but at the same time showed britney and madonna kissing without blurring it. It wasn't like it was from a long time ago like X17 said. It was during the same segment that they showed Britney/Madonna but blurred Adam.

I thought it was wrong to blur the kiss. The oral sex simulation, yes. But not the kiss. I saw nothing wrong with that. I think Adam is getting a raw deal. This is the 21st century people. Homosexuality is a fact that is finally okay to talk about and people need to chill. I'm not gay but I don't have any problems with gay people being able to show affection or get married for that matter!!!

Overly passionate sexual display is unacceptable on tv before a certain time. However if CBS is willing to show a female on female kiss then by rights they should also show Adam's kiss.
The "blow" j o b should absolutely not be shown other then on pay-per-view or with explicit warnings beforehand.
When my kids and I accidentally watched it, after the first shock, I used it to my advantage to tell them that what those men were doing is not appropriate for other people to do to them. And that they should always come to tell me if anyone would to that to them.

Come on! This is so stupid! What about all the crazy ass shaking from Shakira, Beyonce, Madonna, Britney and the pussy cat dolls. They have their legs spread all the times and all !
There is so a double standard on this one. Not acceptable at all.



Posted by: Anonymous

No morals....no one wants to see that crap, just like no one wanted to see Madonna Brittany crap. Save it...it's filth. NO MORALS OR SELF RESPECT...just a nasty free for all. People are sick.



Posted by: Lambert Rocks

I agree that it was singers like Britney and Beyonce, and Mariah Carey that made all this possible, but no one complains about them because everyone is cool with women shaking their nearly naked asses. Where was all the censoring when Beyonce's Single Ladies video was playing? What about that song by Pussycat Dolls that says, "loosen up my buttons baby"? What about Taylor Momsen, sixteen years old, and performing in her underwear, with garters and stockings. Soon we will just have women (and girls) on stage, strip naked with their legs spread, and album sales will be off the charts. But that’s ok, right? Because we have been gradually eased into slutty women on stage. Stupid people. Get a freaking life. Everyone who is so concerned about their morals now is a few decades too late.







This part is optional!
