Jesus Christ, how brutal and uncalled for. I don't know which is worse, the way they disrespected Adam and his hard work, or the way they threw their own employees under the bus. Not to mention slamming GLAAD and accusing them of dishonorable motives. Quite a steaming load of assholery, all told. Excited about China!  |

Waiting for some very articulate Glamberts to set the record straight with these 'don't have a clue' SFGN owners. I won't say what kind of 'envy' I think these guys have!   |

I don't know how to enlarge the pictures of the article. It is very small print so may not be able to read it. If someone knows how to enlarge, please do so. Don't want to give them any hits.

The article inSFGN reflects the lack of research and personal knowledge of Adam and reflects poorly on them. While I understand their sentiments about honoring some longtime supporter who has labored under the radar, it's naive to think that GLADD would select that person to headline a fundraiser. Maybe in addition to a celebrity, who knows what they do, I don't follow their work enough to know. The hypocrites are also using Adam to get hits. How's that for conduct unbecoming?

Sigh. And some in the LGBT community continue to eat their own. I thought of a dozen things to say in response to the article, but realized that nothing I could say would change such bitter minds. WE know from hundreds, maybe thousands of testimonials and even personal experiences how Adam's willingness to be open and honest about his orientation has changed and even saved lives. WE know that Adam's goal was never to be the role model and poster boy for the gay rights movement, but, when thrust into that position, he embraced the chance to encourage acceptance, love and diversity. WE know that just by being courageously and unapologetically himself as a celebrity in the international spotlight, he has helped advance equal rights. Are there many other anonymous people working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring about change? Of course. Are those folks worthy of recognition? Definitely. But, that's the way celebrity and fame work, guys, like it or not. Celebrities use their fame to advance their careers and to advance the causes they support. (How many celebrities have publicly endorsed one or another political candidate and even testified in the Senate about such causes, even when there are many experts who could speak to the issues better?) Folks supporting a cause also USE famous people to get the visibility and voice they want. Political candidates latch onto the popular "cause du jour" and "celebrity du jour" to get publicity and votes. It's all part of "the game." Maybe this author would like to take back Martin Luther King's Nobel Peace Prize. There are countless, nameless people who worked as passionately and hard as MLK to advance equal rights; who even died for the cause. Why should MLK have streets named after him, and not those others? Okay, I know I am preaching to the choir. But, it just pisses me off that Adam goes to Miami and donates (I assume) his time and talent, Adam gives this magazine the broadest awareness it has ever gotten, Adam crashes their website, and they trash him for it. WE all know that Adam would have greater success and recognition as an artist if he had just kept his mouth shut about his orientation and stayed in the closet like so many artists feel they must in order to have a career. WE all know the courage it takes to perform despite state department security warnings and bomb threats. WE all know what Adam is accomplishing by being Adam. It is a shame some others can't see it. But, GLAAD finally has! Bravo. |

Wow!!! SFGN Meow!! I guess they are jealous because they are not getting recognition from GLAAD. They really should have kept their mean, spiteful, petty behavior to themselves. They are pitiful. I laugh at them.

SFGN article : Makes you think why it is difficult to eradicate hatred. Some who pretend to fight it, are actually breeding it. It is savegery that pretends to be noble. I guess its the summer of their discontent.. Measured dance .. in a glance..
