Jeez. More cut and paste jobs.
Fur on anyone is a horrible look, and what he had to day about it, is also horrible. Really disappointed.

Fur-coated pirate - an interesting look:

Of course I'm sure no one cared anything about animal cruelty way back in the 70's and 80's. I don't think people started to get animal-rights conscious until the hippy era. Oops, that was the 60's. Never mind. Of course the McCartneys were ahead of their time, Paul going vegetarian in 1975 and Linda a few years before that. They did not approve of killing animals for their meat or fur.
Unfortunately Elton wasn't on that train either despite the growing movement of that era:

A really good pic is one where he's wearing a fur coat and a leopard hat. I wonder whether he killed the leopard himself, or simply bought it from someone who killed it? Appalling either way, I suppose.
For the record, I definitely like Brian's position against animal cruelty, but full disclosure; I eat meat and have several leather (although no fur - not even faux fur) jackets. Also a whole lot of leather shoes, several leather handbags, and at least one leather briefcase.
No one seems to fuss over leather as much as they fuss over fur!
Now, if Adam comes out on that Chicago stage in nothing but very short white shorts, I can't wait for the outrage from 70's and 80's Queen fans!
Sir Elton John does not currently wear fur nor has he in years. AL's attitude toward fur is held by the Sarah Palin crowd who celebrate the image of her hanging her head out an airplane with a shotgun barrel pointed toward a pack of wolves. Thanks to the example given by Dr Brian May, we in the states are alot better at protecting our wildlife. He showed us campaign techniques which have helped get people to critical public comment meetings. His use of social media for all animal issues has also helped tremendously.
Maybe AL should wear fur while on the tour if in doing so, the distaste of wearing dead animals will raise awareness of the need to save animals. I just can imagine how it would go over with Brian and with his supporters.
This is about the jacket Adam was wearing to the WWRY show:

There's a reason for that. Domesticated cattle is accepted as a protein source, so the leather hides are a side effect of the accepted killing for beef. The same applies for sheep shirling - the skin of sheep, including the tanned hide, used after the animal is slaughtered for food. I wear leather, but shirling is too ick for me. Animals that are skinned for their fur are not in the normal human food chain (fox, chinchilla, mink, etc.). I'm sure their carcasses are sold into the pet food market, but they are cruelly treated primarily to harvest their skins unmarred. I definitely do not wear real fur. Most designers use faux fur now because of the backlash to their real fur counterparts. I'm sure very wealthy people can obtain real fur, though, and some no doubt do.

It's very inconvenient for you to have to come up with a rationale that excuses fur wear in some cases, and condemns it in others, even without knowing whether the fur is real or faux. Good luck with that moral conundrum, but be careful, hypocrisy is the inevitable result of such an argument.
As for how it will go over with Brian and his supporters, you already have your answer - Brian and Roger love Adam, Adam is fronting for Queen at Brian and Roger's request, and the arenas are all essentially filled except for the new additional sections which were added as a result of the high sales and high demand. I also suspect that Adam probably isn't wearing real fur either by personal philosophy or at the very least out of respect to Brian's position. But by all means, if you believe he is you should definitely take Brian, Roger, and Adam's advice and stay home.
I find it hugely ironic that when Lambert-haters can't argue that he's no good for Queen (the arena sales have proven the opposite) they will go to any other argument they can, even when it's irrelevant to the issue at hand - Lambert fronting for Queen. So now the argument is fur, perhaps next it will be the eating of meat, or the buying of a specially bred dog. Of course every person trying to troll Lambert-fans is unlikely to be a vegan, vegetarian, or PETA member until this very moment. Hypocrisy. But luckily it does have one redeeming feature - it's entertaining to those of us who see through it. Clearly, not being fans and not attending the concerts, they have no ability to change Brian's mind, or Roger's mind, or Adam's mind - therefore the argument is solely targeted toward the Lambert fans because they can't get their anger out any other way. It's trolling, pure and simple. As there are always some who miss the real argument and follow the tangent, it should provide entertainment for both sides for a while, while inevitably changing nothing. Oh well.
The most entertaining part of the great fur (is it faux or isn't it?) debate is all the folks not going to a concert tour talking about how they wouldn't now, if they weren't already. It didn't matter then, and it doesn't matter now. Thanks, and goodbye.
eta: I've seen a grand total of 2 people on Queen/Lambert threads posting about the fur issue in such a way that could result in change for the better (from anyone who reads about this issue). Kudos to them for making that effort. The rest are just sorry attempts to use whatever issue they can to slag off Adam, with the result that they've probably done no good at all to the cause, so I assume they care more about slagging Adam off than the cause of animal cruelty. It's too bad - there was a good, teachable moment here, blown by many.
I guess Adam didn't know that he was supposed to go to that show in a T-shirt, bluejeans and tennis shoes and try to be as incognito as possible instead of looking stunning and fabulous. Those who call what he wore a "costume" don't know that Adam is a fashion icon. If it is ever revealed that the fur collar was not real fur, it has been much ado about nothing, as usual.
I don't get it but no matter what they do, both Barack Obama and Adam Lambert are the constant targets of criticism and hatred. I think they are both wonderful, caring human beings but they are constantly portrayed otherwise! It is disgusting!

Much of the slagging off of Lambert isn't actually about Lambert, it's somene's idea of fun in trolling Adam's fans. You shouldn't take it seriously, because it's not. Slagging off Obama is a whole 'nother matter. Yes, plenty are just trolling liberals when they do, but as the politician holding the highest office of the US, where a 2-party system exists, you can bet plenty of people dislike him. The further to the right of the spectrum, the more that's likely to be true, with Tea Party and it's KKK affliliates about as far right as you can get. They are serious, but again, there's no point in debating with them online. They're no more likely to become progressive thinkers than educated liberals are likely to become the duck dudes. Not gonna happen. The ballot box is hopefully where issues like this get resolved in the end.
Based on this photo of Brian and his wife, Anita Dobson, I don't think he cares if Adam has fur on his jackets:

You really are blind when it comes to AL aren't you.
I'd be upset if I saw anyone wear real fur. Have you missed that part of your fuked up reading post and mind skills?
You have often posted about how much money AL earns. It's sad he had to resort to wearing fur in trying to make a fashion statement, that's a fail on his part and what he had to say about isn't any better. "Defend, defend" the guy no matter what he says or does it seems. Even though his own views on fur is biting him bad.
FFS, take of your shades and look at the real world for once. You assume wrong about many people, including me by the way. You are more crazier/sadder/biased than even I thought if you think people are saying what they are on these matters just because of their feelings about Q+AL or AL. But alas, it's on QOL where you can only read, but not reply there, so you do it here. That says it all.

Fashion icon my butt. Was that voted by the Glamberts more than once in one of those silly polls?
You think he looked fabulous wearing fur...shame on you as well. I dare you to post that elsewhere, unless once again you are chicken shit. He looked like a jerk, even more so wearing it where he knew Brian May would be.
Of all the choices he has for clothing, why did he decide to wear fur? It wasn't cold, bad weather, it was May for pete's sake.
It's disgusting that many AL fans think the guy can never do anything wrong. You are more worried about the reaction he might get at upcoming shows than anything else, and that is all that matters to you, not even Brian's thoughts and actions about animal's well being. Do you even know or care what he does for them?
Once again you compare AL to Obama. Well, at least I know why you do it, all because AL mentioned Obama in print. The both of them are far from perfect btw, hate to break it to you.
The lengths you and taptap will go in defending the guy. Crappy way of doing it and both of your assumptions are wrong, about me, and many more people.
