From day 1 Adam Lambert chose to place his vulnerable, beating heart out there for the world to kiss and stab. He rose out of American Idol with a revolutionary artistic statement. Beyond openly expressing his sexuality, he and Tommy kissed their way across mainstream America and around the world. Yes, that IS a statement for the books. Maybe more fun than refusing to move to the back of the bus (Rosa) but not so different. (Huge kudos to Tommy)

The way was prepared for someone like Adam and there have been other similar boundary pushing artists (def. not American Idols) . But how many have the spine to step up to the plate?

Adam is already firmly in the book of social boundary pushing artist changemakers. He has chosen to be not a small, but rather a MASSIVE GLBT community changemaker. He has used his star power to help his people. Nothing in my book is bigger than this. No artistry, no statement, no visual or musical piece is more beautiful than Adam using his fame this way. 

I crave his voice and his entertainment, but his heart is what wins me every time. I have no doubt that who he is, his integrity and heart, has significantly helped increase the mobilization of changemakers for gay rights, equality, and fair and kind treatment of our neighbors across the U.S. Included in Adam's followers are a group of huge-hearted fans who want to change the world for Adam and for all those facing similar ridiculous injustices, inequality, and oppression. These particular followers batter down walls, and infiltrate bastions of ignorance out of love for Adam.

Adam is a hero already. He has used his sex appeal, his sexuality, his talents and his skills to help rally massive change. He scared and likely still scares conservative members of both the gay and the straight community. Bravo!! Adam is a true artist and his greatest artistic statement is not his pop music. It is his loyalty to being fully himself and his courage and determination to fight oppression with and for all who have suffered it. His voice is the servant of his heart. What is more beautiful? Really?

Proud fan. Integrity is a rare thing.

Wow. Nice.
