Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate!!!!!!!!!May your day be special.
Thank you all so much for the goodies from the Awards. What a treat!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta say Adam's mom looks absolutely fabulous. She has morphed over the past 4 years and has blossomed (she always looked great, now she looks absolutely fabulous.)
What a great bond that exists between these two. She is everything a nurturing, loving mom should be. It makes me want to do more as a mom. They are both inspiring. I'm sure the two of them will hit the town today in a mother's day celebration fit for a great mom.

*for the sake of its beauty, and for the record:)
( and for the international fans who might want to translate and because I have a thing for written word):
Adam Lambert’s GLAAD Award Acceptance Speech
Okay, I have to make a speech; I am supposed to just be a singer, but I tried to write a speech, so bear with me.
After almost winning American Idol, I have become a public figure; an openly gay public figure. With that comes a lot of responsibility and a lot of opinions. One person thinks you should be more this, another thinks you should be more that, the label thinks this, the fans think that, your family wishes this, this community wants you to shut up, that community wants it louder, the conservatives, the liberals, what do you want from me?!?
At the end of the day, it is not always so black and white. On one hand, you have the Stonewall generation, who paved the way. They are proud rebels who have waved the rainbow banner; they fought for our rights and brought causes into the light and into the press.
On the other hand, you have the next generation coming up and because of the groundwork that has been laid, they have more than the luxury to say: “Yeah, so I’m gay, it’s no big deal; my sexuality does not define me.”
Because of increasing visibility, more kids are coming out earlier and, of course, we are always going to have our challenges with acceptance, but it has certainly gotten better.
So, it is a crucial time, right? Totally crucial. We are right in the middle of two generations, with two different perspectives, but one common thread – love. With all the differences of opinion, both within the LGBT community and elsewhere, the best we can do is to keep it real and to spread a message of acceptance.
If we can inspire even one person to open their mind or another to be who they want to be, whether they are gay, they are straight, they are old, they are young, man, woman, black or white, then it is worth being objectified by the sometimes frustrating world of media sensationalism.
Thank you to GLAAD for recognizing my efforts because I put a lot of effort to this. I think about it a lot, it makes me f… crazy, but my goal is to try to represent both myself and my community proudly. We have come so far, so now let’s unify in our goals and take it further.
Have a beautiful night, thank you.
*any corrections are more than welcome, re contents, punctuation, spelling... for example, is it 'because of the groundwork that has been LAID or LAIN'? Thank you. |
