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. 18 or older, eh? HAHA...Adamstorm on the horizon...I figured gigs would start lining up for him. Selfish..I want it all. Gigs for visability and a new single and album to get him on the charts while all this publicity is roaring along. Pity he isn't twins..  |

I was just wondering what brought up the PopJustice yearbook business today? I think Adam was trying to bury that with his Twitter party that night. Is there something that made it relevant again? Just curious.

I can not bring myself to be too concerned over this issue. At times, everyone feels undervalued and unappreciated. It is just a part of the human condition. I have much more sympathy, say, for starving children, single mothers, political prisoners, the wrongly imprisoned, people without healthcare... Let me count just a few of his blessings: Adam was brought up by an involved and loving family. He has a circle of long-time caring friends. He has that one special significant other. He is loved by millions all over the world. He is widely recognized for his unique talent. I've seen more precise statistics, but I'd think Adam is easily in the top 1% of income, not just for singers, but for every profession. He is one of the rare artists that can support himself doing what he loves to do and has been doing so since high school. By every measure I can think of, Adam is a huge success. If he has not achieved every goal he has set for himself, I say that is a good thing. The odds are that he has a long life ahead of himself. See, this is what gets me, and I apologize if I use your comment as a blown up example of others that have bothered me in the past. But, really, if we hold all our concerns in life up against your standards then there would be nothing to feel. You know, like my husbands illness will always be HeWhoCannot ameded by anothers and heck, he is not dead so why worry? My son is verbally bullied but others are physically bullied, so I should be happy? Adam has money so that's all that matters? Children are dying of starvation so, you know what? NOTHING should matter but that. But it is possible to care about them while caring about others. I am a little sick of my concerns over what I concider important things in Adam's life being trivialized. If we can worry for eternity about the swimming attire he chooses and whether he will shave today or not, or even if he will sell any records, then we can take a moment to worry about how he feels inside. That is far more important to me and him. And if that is called "angst", which has become a word I have come to loath because of it's overuse and accusational uses here, then I just don't think you guys have understood a thing Adam has been saying about having a dark and light side of equal importance, let alone his message of putting everything on the table or accepting others who are different. Am I the only one who has listened to him sing Underneath? I apologize again. This is not aimed at anyone specific, but good god. We waited a long time to discuss something as revealing about his core as it comes, and when we do it is dismissed. Let me have my opinions, state your, but don't try to talk me out of mine. There will never be a time when eveyone is in the same end of the pool. What is wrong with that? Everyone has their own feelings and opinions and they are allowed to state them in a civil way. I do not think that your opinions were being trivialized by others people's point of view! Remember that if you state your opinions, other people will, too.
Since you hit the quote button on my post, I can only assume you are talking to me and I find your comments offensive. If you intend to make a general statement, hit the reply button and make a general statement. |

I was off line for several hours and got back to see the wonderful heart-warming news: GLAAD to honor Adam Lambert at the #glaadawards in San FranciscoThis is so important & really special - more so than the vocalist award that he's up for along with Frank Ocean. How many times can I get teary-eyed with pride over this beautiful man?
And PITTSBURGH PRIDE too?
Hey - there ain't gonna be no down time no there ain't!!! I am SO HAPPY for him!
