At the same time as Adam was making his speech, a tweeter @busky sent him a one word tweet: fag When will it end? I don't see the tweet but the real answer is, it won't. That's why it's so important that he used the word and reclaimed it with such pride (as other gay men have been doing for years). I'm so proud of him. Personally I didn't cringe, I cheered. Same here, I would usually cringe, but giving the context, i just felt proud of him |

And I don't thinik Adam will care! This was a proud moment and he was speaking to his audience, that was there. You're right. He knew that going in. He was giving that "condemnation" the ugly name projected onto him and owning it, reversing it and saying, "It has no power over me anymore." Choke on it bitches. The label is just a label – it doesn't marginalize me. Or US (his audience) ..used as a term of endearment... nothing unusual....very warm...I love it. |

I believe in free speech, but I'd love to see ATOP be an angst-free zone on this incredible night when Adam's character is being honored. AGREED! Here...  |

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. You are not a prude, it is the difference between "our" generation and the today generation. We have two boys and one girl, the two boys speak a VERY different language from our girl. Raised in the same house, different language. Adam is no different from my 29 yr. old son or 25 yr. old son and both of them did NOT hear it from MOM & DAD. (Truth...........when pissed...........I am a reborn sailor/truck driver  8-) ) P.S. Assuming you were refering to the cursing ;D) |
