Rockchic My gay friends would be disgusted when you said Lambert speaks for the gay community, he has taken gay rights back 50 years looking like a camp nellie with
his feminine make up and camp personality on stage.
There are some gay men who are 100% men and all gay men are not into make up and ladies fox furs and eyeliners.
god forbid if you think that is normal.

Adam never intended to be the poster boy for gay rights that kind of got foisted on him after Idol but over the years he's become one of the people they often ask to appear at events, give speeches etc. He doesn't turn up in eye make up and camp clothes, he usually wears suits, one thing he does know is how to be appropriate to the situation. He does charity work with the Trevor Project and GLAAD so whatever you and your friends think of him they clearly appreciate the fact he's so open about his sexuality and that he's helping to break down barriers. His mom has even had letters from people who were struggling to accept their gay children and had cut them off and have now made up and accepted them because of Adam.

I'm well aware there are lots of types of gays and that's one of the things he stresses, that all gays don't look or act alike and you can't sterotype them into a one size fits all box, any more than you can straight people. IMO you don't know the first thing about him and are guilty of judging a book by his on stage cover instead of finding out about the person underneath.

Some may but most are just impressed by his talent and the person he is inside.

A lot of abuse regarding Lambert on facebook and twitter, he gets called lots of anti gay names faggot, freak, queer etc...... not good for the straight acting gay man though, i find the homophobic comments are still from american population they still cannot accept him.

I don't see much homophobic abuse, take a look on Twitter for the Cher tribute, the vid was only available in the US initially and loads are raving about him, no abuse in the comments. There will always be homophobia to a point but I certainly don't see Adam getting it any more than other out gay celebs. IMO the more he carries on just being himself and not letting anyone tell him how to live his life the more the prejudice will die down, people have become a lot more accepting in the ten years he's been on the scene and there's far less homophobic comments than he got back then.

Rockchic You must be blind if you think Lambert is getting accepted by the homophobes. Anti gay treatement is rife in the USA and in the Uk it is more accepting.
Nothing wrong in been gay but he does push it too far.
In doing so a lot of hard rock fans ignore Queen now.

That's not what I see, last year when they were touring there were endless tweets and comments on instagram from hard rockers and metal fans who'd seen the show and loved it, they don't seem to have a bias against how he looks or acts and are more concerned with how he sings. He's always been accepted by rock fans who were hoping that's what he'd do after Idol they just probably don't like his more pop based music but with Queen music they don't have a problem. Lots of rock musicians are impressed by him, Alice Cooper, Meatloaf, Rob Halford, Slash, James Michael, Joe Elliot & Rick Savage etc who've all been to their show.

I agree there's more homophobia in the US than here in the UK but outside of certain very conservative area's he seems to escape it pretty well.

The artists that you have mentioned are friends with Queen anyway and are going to be nice to May & Taylor.
They will secretly know that the band are not as good as they used to be with Freddie & John,
Sure full marks for them keeping the band going but they have pissed a lot of people off in doing so.

Keep on deluding yourself!!

Only if you like talentfree twats

Snifflesse You are the deluded one if you think Adam is on a level with Freddie.
Freddie could wipe the floor with him any day if he was still here

So you think Rick keeps wearing his Queen + Adam t shirt instead of just a Queen t shirt to be nice? Really don't think Alice was just being nice he says the first time he saw Adam on Idol he said "that guy should sing for Queen". Meatloaf called himself an Adam Lambert groupie back in 2009 and Slash only asked to mentor on the show because of Adam and Alison.

Incidentally I've never said anyone thinks they're as good as they used to be with Freddie and John. I'm sure lots of fans would have Freddie and John back in a heartbeat but it clearly can't happen.

They haven't pissed nearly as many people off as you seem to think. Sure there are some fans who aren't on board, I'm sure there were when Paul was with them and no matter who they'd toured with not every fan would have been happy but they've been successful for six years and it's showing no signs of slowing down so there's enough people interested.
