Perhaps this is why Adam's fans call him
“The Voice”.....
June 9, 2013 by Q3
I used to think Adam’s greatest gift to the world was his singing voice, and he is now sometimes referred to as "vocal superstar Adam Lambert" so I was not completely off track.
But lately I have come to realize his true gift is his voice.
Over the past four years I have read so many stories of how Adam has inspired people to be themselves and to care about others. But it was not until recently that I realized how influential Adam has become.
Not influential in the way that "pop stars" often are -- as style icons. Not influential in the way that "rock stars" and folk artist often are by influencing political opinions. But inspiring at a personal level -- inspiring people to be proud of who they are, to help one another and to reach for their own dreams.
In a world filled with people making carefully worded statements about everything, Adam speaks with plain honesty about his life, his experience and his hopes for himself and for others. There is not a roomful of PR people figure out what he should say and writing clever lines for him to say. He just speaks.
Recently, Adam received GLAAD's Davidson/Valentini award for making a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community. The award was announced in advance a there were a few people in the LGBT community who were critical of the choice, but many, many more who were pleased with the selection.
When he received this award, Adam made a speech -- his first real speech I believe. Here is what Adam said:
Thank you. [laughs] Thank you. Ok, I have to make a speech. I'm supposed to be just 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, -- yeah -- and with that comes a lot of responsibility. and a lot of opinions.
One person this you should be more this. Another thinks you should be more that. And the label thinks this. The fans think that. Your family wishes this. This community wants you to shut up. That community want it louder The conservatives. The liberals. [singing] 'Whataya Want From Me'.
At the end of the day, it's not always so black and white. On one hand you have the Stonewall generation, who paved the way. Yeah. They're proud rebels who have waved the rainbow banner. They've 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's 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.'
Yeah. Now because of increasing visibility, more kids coming out earlier. And of course we are always going to have our challenges with acceptance but it has certainly gotten better. Yeah.
So it's a crucial time. Right. Totally crucial. We're right in the middle of two generations with two different perspectives but one common thread - love. Yeah.
With all the differences of opinion both within the LGBT community and elsewhere, the best we can do is to keep it real and 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're gay or
they're straight, they're old, they're 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 into this. [laugh] I think about it a lot it drives me fucking crazy. [laugh] But my goal is to try to both represent myself and my community proudly. We have come so far. Now let's unify in our goals and take it farther.
Have a beautiful night.

Adam Lambert Checks Out Bootsy Bellows
Posted Saturday June 8, 2013 2:03 PM GMT
All smiles as he preps for a wild night out, Adam Lambert arrived at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood on Friday (June 7).
The "For Your Entertainment" singer ditched the black in a gray shirt, blue jacket, and jeans as he headed inside.
Recently, the 31-year-old glam rocker joined up with the Friend Movement to help prevent bullying by replacing hurtful "F" words with kinder ones, like "friend."
Displaying the stars against a red backdrop with their middle fingers raised, LeAnn Rimes, Lance Bass, Carmen Electra and others encourage folks to "Give Bullying the Bird."

HE WILL ROCK YOU: ADAM LAMBERT + PITTSBURGH PRIDEIN ARTS + ENTERTAINMENT, CELEBRITY, LIFE + CULTURE •
MAY 23, 2013by Rachel Jones | Photograph from Lee Cherry
Leather and glitter and everything rock – this is what Adam Lambert is made of. He’s also a compassionate person who supports his fellow members in the LGBT community. Whether he’s inspiring others or just getting them out on the dance floor, Lambert is making a difference the best way he knows how: through his voice.
With his smoky eye makeup on and jet black hair spiked, the prominent pop star is ready to bring his fierce flavor to Pittsburgh Pride. Chris Bryan, director of marketing and development for the Delta Foundation, which is organizing this year’s Pittsburgh Pride celebration, says Lambert is the ideal performer to headline Pride in the Street. “We’re always looking for an entertainer who will appeal to a broad audience, and we think Adam Lambert is the perfect choice,” Bryan says. “We can’t wait to hear his amazing voice resonate up and down Liberty Avenue!”
