Bringing my post over from the end of yesterday's thread because I think this guy's has something to say in his tweets. He talks about Adam and Same Love song.
A guy on twitter comments about Same Love and Adam. I think it's well worth a read.

@adamlambert was treated as a deviant and a pariah for kissing Tommy Joe Ratliff on stage at the #AMAs in 2009.
David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
People called it shocking, revolting and not family friendly. @adamlambert had his @gma performance the next morning cancelled.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
@cbsthismorning intentionally blurred out @adamlambert kissing Tommy Joe Ratliff on their morning show.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
@adamlambert has never recovered from that incident. Which was 100% based on homophobia and a squeemish attitude against male-male affection
David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
No, what happened tonight with #SameLove cant necessarily be compared to that performance, but it says a lot about how things have changed.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
From perverted and blacklisted to celebrated and applauded by celebrities and the American public. #SameLove
David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
@adamlambert had star written all over him and had a single reach #1 on the charts. He was going to be the one. The US gay music star.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
Homophobia essentially destroyed that for Adam. If #SameLove were made by a gay artist, it wouldn't get mainstream play.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
Getting a lot of RT's on my @adamlambert tweet. I'll say it again---if #SameLove were made by Adam, it would not get mainstream play.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
#SameLove got mainstream play because it was made by a heterosexual white man who had already man two hit singles.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
And again, even that did not stop #SameLove from losing millions of listeners compared to his other two hit singles.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
That needs to be said, and it needs to be said over and over. Also remember @marylambertsing. She is so talented and so sweet.David Robertson @101flyboy 1h
@marylambertsing is an integral part of #SameLove. She's a lesbian woman. She's a singer. She's talented. Support her career as well people.

@dianakat1 It is tragic. It's sad. It's a poor reflection on society and the music industry. Adam is so incredibly talented indeed.David Robertson @101flyboy 30m
@itisaball Adam's already received a lot of positive success in Asia especially. In Asia and much of Europe, they like his nonconformity.David Robertson @101flyboy 31m
@itisaball In the USA, nonconformity makes you a threat. The deep rooted double standard is not only appalling but almost never discussed.David Robertson @101flyboy 17m
It's all about perspective. #SameLove is about so much more than a song or Macklemore's gay uncles. The fight for #equality is a daily one.David Robertson @101flyboy 13m
Lets keep fighting in their honor, for the youth, for our families. Complacency kills. We have a voice today. Use it to continue change.
David Robertson @101flyboy 12m
@idontneedamap82 @ljak07 @adamlambert I hope you're both right. Adam has too much talent and individuality to not receive his due shine.David Robertson @101flyboy 12m
@idontneedamap82 @ljak07 @adamlambert Gotta make sure radio stations play his song. Glamberts have to make noise for Adam.David Robertson @101flyboy 12m
@idontneedamap82 @ljak07 @adamlambert Make radio stations pay attention to his music. People power always can work.David Robertson @101flyboy 11m
@itisaball Yeah, China is a pretty conservative country so it's weird when you think about it. I think it's because he's "shocking" to them.David Robertson @101flyboy 11m
@itisaball Plus I also think they tend to attach quickly on celebs who show support towards them and Adam is great with fans.David Robertson @101flyboy 10m
@itisaball It's very evident in pretty much all fields. Race, gender, origin, classism is as rife as ever. US is all about status.David Robertson @101flyboy 8m
@ljak07 @idontneedamap82 @adamlambert
Yes. I honestly think Adam shouldn't get to attached to the mainstream labels.
David Robertson @101flyboy 7m
@ljak07 @idontneedamap82 @adamlambert
Adam is more marketable when he's his true self than when he's more "corporate" and stands out less.
