benpatrick90069Ben Patrick Johnson I have new love and respect for @adamlambert after the speech he just gave. Proudly called himself a "weird fuckin" fag." Video soon! I love Adam but the language he used here made me cringe a little . . . .don't mind me, it's the prude in me. Me, too, Mayumi. Because it will probably be quoted around the world within the next 24 hours. But, consider the context. He is talking to a group championing the rights of GLBT individuals. I think it is an example of Adam code-switching.... matching his communication to the people he is addressing. It's one of those things a member of the group can say to other members, but outsiders never can. Unfortunately, it WILL be taken out of context by the straight media community, and probably get lots of condemnation and misunderstanding. As experienced as Adam is with the press and the internet these days, he still occasionally seems to slip and not consider the broader community that will read what he says without the understanding of context. Can't fault him.... it is natural for him to do the code-switching. But, yup, I cringed. ETA: But if he considered it and said it anyway, all I gotta say is, he is one hell of a brave, ballsy, real person. |

I'm genuinely curious.... is it the use of 'weird fag', the use of 'fucking' - or the use of all three words together? I remember waaaaaaaaaayyyyy back in my gay clubbing days that it was the gays themselves who referred to each other as fags and queens. It was normal.... whatever that is...lol  |

This was a proud moment and he was speaking to his audience, that was there. |
