LOL; I was wondering how long it would take his Twitter feed to explode. Witty? I don't think so. You know, in all seriousness, I wonder if the irritated response from the already-large-and-growing-larger Glambert population which occurs when these "jokes" are invoked are starting to really make a difference. It may be me, but I notice that DJs and others who regularly have made snarky gay jokes are making them a bit less. When you get "called on" publicly every time you make a veiled bigoted joke, it makes it less ok to engage in that kind of humor. I think some public figures are periodically thinking a bit harder about their "humorous" topics. In all seriousness I say you're absolutely right and its GREAT!!!

Heh heh heh..... I guess he now knows that his tweet wasn't funny. This person is an idiot. Not only did you piss off Adam's fans, you pissed off Adam. Exactly!! And sort of funny how now he's trying to "make things right." Live and learn.

Following the tweets is really interesting. There are like... 1 for every 500 that has a different opinion, quickly drowning to the tweetsea. Impressive fanbase for an amazing man . I bet the DJ never knew what he was going to get when he hit the "tweet" button! I wonder how many tweeters are just now painting their toenails pink .

I find the whole Today Show piece outdated and offensive in itself. What could be offensive about a mother playing with her child (of any gender)? It would be socially acceptable if the mother was busy and the child was set in front of the TV eating junk food! There is nothing news worthy about the whole today show segment. It makes me angry that they considered "controversial" for a boy to paint his nails on a day a mother drove her car into a lake with her children in the car. This!! This!!!

Right? lol 1 minute ago and then the message is lost :( He's absolutely right. Calling him names or saying hateful ugly things to him won't convince him or anyone else that his "joke" was wrong. If he meant it as a slight to Adam I assume this response from Adam's fans won't really endear Adam to him nor will it make him evaluate his opinions on gender roles. JMO

Good Heavens, I never knew pink on men is frowned upon. Just this Saturday I bought a new pink shirt for my husband - ADORE!
...and about that idiotic DJ... if painting your little boy's toenails pink results in a man as wonderful as Adam Lambert - I wish I'd tried it with MY son! Hah! ;D
(edit/ calling the DJ out is fine by me - attacking him, is rather stupid - we want these guys playing Adam's songs).
