I've been a silent member for 10 years. Telling Adam Lambert fans not to post anything political is telling Adam Lambert fans not to breathe. Since that was a new "rule" the comments have dwindled down to nothing.
As a COVID survivor and a proud LGBTQ supporter, I find it hard to believe that any fan wouldn't support Adam's views. This is a different world we live in, and it calls for a loyalty and a voice.
Yes, I am an Adam fan. Yes, I am a Democrat. Yes, so is Adam. Yes, I'm loud. Yes, so is Adam.
I'll see you around. Signing out for now.
Kitty

Signing out for now. Kitty The things about it Kitty, is there ARE some fans of Adam's who do not share his political beliefs. I know I find that difficult to fathom but it is what it is. Since we are not supposed to bash each other here, Q3 decided the easiest way would be to avoid political discussions. And honestly it makes it simpler to not have to babysit the thread for potential political fires.

and that's why you're losing members. It's about Adam, not you. What's "easiest" is not what Adam would do. I don't even get Adamtopia anymore, and I'm here daily for years! You've lost me and you've lost what Adam is all about.
Look at your flailing "fan club" I'm leaving after 10 years. I'm sure I'm not alone. It doesn't make sense.
Are you listening to the same Adam Lambert? Are you listening to the same Q+AL?
Good Lord, I wish you well, but we'll agree to disagree. Good luck, and good bye after 10 years. *sigh*
I laid in a bed for 4 weeks with COVID. I have suffered in US under HeWhoCannot amed . I have listened to Adam Lambert's music, and it helped through the most difficult times, and it has lifted me up to believe I am a "Super Power" (I know corny quote) And I can't come on my favorite fan site to post my experience? Again, doesn't make sense.
My love of Adam Lambert is musical, political, emotional, proud, life-changing, etc. I've seen him live 8 times (6 times with Queen) all over the US. And I'm not allowed to talk about it how it affected me??
I'm done

Don't know about anybody else, but I'm ok on concentrating on the music, on what unites us instead of what divides us. Adam's concerts and QAL concerts are about the music, not about politics...lots of people from different walks of life attending.
Now back to watching the fan "concert".

If you would like to leave then go for it

Signing out for now. Kitty There are thousands of places all over the 'net where any level of political discussion can be had. Newspapers and radio are full of it. Most of us get all the politics we need without even trying. I value Adamtopia as a place where I can come and not think about politics, to immerse myself in the music and the friendships I have made in more than 10 years of attending Adam and QAL concerts. I applaud Q3 and staff for keeping this a mostly political-free zone. I can support Adam's political views where he makes them ... on Twitter and Instagram ... but here I'd like to support his music.

Well I miss showing support for Adam and being able to discuss some politics. However a decision was made. But if we have to shut up about it then it should apply to everyone, even to those who are glad that it is a politics free zone. Q3 wanted the discussions to end so we all should respect that unless we are the moderators.
