My, my! Adam's schedule for this summer seems to be filling up fast. I hope he has time for album #3!!! :D
ohhhh...350.00 a seat.. hmmm ...expensive for a regular fan to attend to support Adam. One fantastic press release for Adam. GLAAD for it too!  As far as Chick-Fil-A, can't join in on the party. It's gonna take more than free food coupons to see if this company has changed it's stripes. They lost business and money. They want it back. Sorry to harsh anyone's happiness. I personally will hang and see how they operate in the future. Everyone wants on the LGBT bandwagon now cause it's a hot topic. I do so hope their motivations are genuine..just am not feeling it. But PLEASE, celebrate if you so choose. I'm not picking on anyone's posts. This is just the way I feel personally.  And I'm losing posts..anyone else? |

Me too. I think the tree where they carved some "sweet words" about me is still there in my former high school. The bullied kid never went away, but I try to move forward. Discovering Adam and this fabulous place did improve many things #grateful Happy birthday to Sauli and all Atopers who celebrate today!!! edit: I'm still not good with the quote thing, LOL, the gif should have this text with it: " I am curious how many of us Atoppers were the weird kids, the geeks, the outcasts, the ugly ducklings in school." |

CFA as a company is very homophobic. Their contributions to anti-gay causes actually doubled this last year. However (and it's important to know), individual franchise owners can (and many do) disagree with the corporations policy(s). I believe there was one in New England somewhere who last year spoke out against the corporation's stance, and also offered free food to a pro-gay event. What they need is more of these franchise owners to speak up and tell the main company that they don't share the official stance, that it harms their business, and if they keep pushing, the franchise may have to reconsider continuing under their label. Granted easier said than done, but if enough spoke up it might have some impact. Just saw your post as mine were evaporating into the ethers. Thank you for giving more details on the company's track record and possible change in attitude in the franchise ranks. I was going on gut feeling. Perhaps this was one franchise that is flying in the face of the company to make a stand. I believe the ultimate changes in many homophobic attitudes will be at the grassroots levels and expand from there. JMO |

Hello everyone on Adamtopia!!
I am so excited I can hardly type!!!
I will be attending the GLAAD Awards in SF on May 11!!!
Now . . . here is what I am thinking. Please, someone, tell me if this may work.
I was one of those kids who had a yearbook of blank pages.
What if anyone, or everyone, from Adamtopia put a picture on a blank 8 x 11 page and signed a message to Adam? And, all of these pages could be put together and given to Adam as the Adamtopia Yearbook???
I could do this! I would be happy to email from our 'Members Only' site my address . . . and collect and collate and put into 'Yearbook' form, messages from all of us - and pictures (whatever anyone would choose for themselves!) - and present this Yearbook to Adam on May 11th!
I have no assurance I will meet Adam at the GLAAD Awards . . . but I have a VIP ticket which assures me a party 'with the celebrities' - and I promise to be fierce! I will make it happen! Already, there is a group of 'Topians who will be at my back!
Let me know what you think. I know I can make this happen. I just know it, Universe!

Devin Velez put his spin the Miracles' "The Tracks of My Tears," of which Adam Lambert's rendition of which still ranks as one of the best in show history. Velez didn't leave nearly the same impression, but the judges praised him as being "back" after landing in the bottom the last two weeks. "This was flawless from you," Carey told him.

More from Pittsburgh. www.pittsburghpride.org/
ADAM LAMBERT TO PERFORM LIVE ONLIBERTY AVENUE AT PITTSBURGH PRIDE!!!Tickets go on sale Friday, April 5 at 10 amPittsburgh, PA—The Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh is pleased to announce that Grammy® nominee Adam Lambert will be the featured entertainer at its “Pride in the Street” event, on Saturday, June 15. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, April 5 at 10 am. Lambert will perform a 90-minute show with a full band and dancers on the outdoor stage at Liberty Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh between 9thand 10th streets. Last year’s event drew a record 6,800 attendees with headliner Melissa Etheridge. Citing influence from various artists and genres, Lambert has a flamboyant, theatrical and androgynous performance style, and a powerful voice with multi-octave range. He has received numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” in 2011. He has often been identified as the first openly gay mainstream pop artists to launch a career on a major label in the U.S Lambert has been a major contributor to the advancement of social acceptance towards the community. He’s lent his voice to the “It Gets Better” campaign – a project in response to school bullying and a rash of suicides among LGBT youth. He has been a vocal supporter of marriage equality and has suggested that unequal treatment under the law is complicit in the burden of “shame and guilt and secrecy” that attaches to the LGBT community. In 2010, he received a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding Music Artist and in 2013 for Outstanding Music Artist. In May he will receive the Davidson/Valentini Award at the 24th annual GLAAD Media Awards. The award is presented to an openly LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for our community. Tickets for Pride in the Street are $35 in advance and can be purchased online at www.pittsburghpride.org/tickets or by calling 1-888-71-TICKETS. To attend the event, you must be 18 or older or accompanied by a parent or guardian. |
