LOL! I guess I'm in the minority cause I did not enjoy that at all. The guy dominated the conversation (with lots of drama) and talked about what he wanted to talk about instead of letting Adam choose the experiences to highlight about himself. Adam looked good tho but don't see how that was very encouraging. Maybe on his own, Adam would have made it sound less like a grievance and more like we are here to help if we stand together. He is very good with that. And the AMA's again? And no one can fill Freddie's shoes, WTF.
I also don't get how GLAAD is involved in his foundation. I donated to FS before and the GLAAD event the last time. But I would much rather donate to Adam's foundation.

Wow!! Adam looked fabulous in front of his gorgeous painting & chest he recently painted!! He looked fresh and happy and, as always, had charisma to the max and was articulate! He always does such a good job AND, I think the idea of selling a few pieces of an item is a great idea!!! I wouldn't be wearing any of these raffled items anyway, so why not just sell pieces of something you knew was his!! That would mean sooo much!! ( and I could afford it) I'd wear that close to my heart, for sure. Ha!! Now we're all looking forward to Thursday!! I'm so greedy! I always want more!! 😂😂😂

Ok, I'm kind of confused about this auction thing. I'm assuming Adam bought those clothes and he's auctioning them off, proceeds going to GLAAD. How, exactly, is his foundation involved? I think that's what his foundation is doing. Teaming up with organizations mostly GLAAD so far to help LGBTQ causes. I'm sure he picked the outfits.

This is how I'm assuming it works: Adam donates the outfits to his own foundation, then his foundation partners up with GLAAD, which is one of the most well-known and established organizations. Combined, Adam's name and Glaad's reputation can reach a lot more people than if Feel Something Foundation, which is new and unknown, does the auction on its own. Also, from everything we know, the FSF is just a fundraising organization: they exist to raise funds for other LGBT oganizations with plans and programs in place to help queer people. I'm sure Adam has a say in who they team up with for these fundraising events, and I'm sure he's donated a lot of his own money along with the clothes to FSF.
I can't bid on any of the items, but those are some really iconic pieces. I wonder how much they'll raise.

FS teaming with other LGBT organizations but GLAAD just happens to be the one so far.

You are not in the minority. I was almost out of breath after the three minutes and I would have loved to hear Adam talk a bit more. He tried... Good points were made about homophobia in the music industry though, and ironically when the fallout over the AMAs was mentioned I did remember that even GLAAD didn't have Adam's back right away. They came around slowly to show their support. All water under the bridge as of now and clearly lots of things have changed for the better since 2009, which I think Adam indirectly got credited for. Cool that with GLAAD Adam has a worthy platform to promote his FS charity and the auction, and the album as well.
