What I can't figure out with the States and gay marriage is you just have to look north of the border and see what has happened in Canada since we legalized it. Not much has changed except gay people are getting married, some are raising families, and some are getting divorced -- just like everybody else. That would be too easy. :  |

Here is the EW article of Trespassing www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20594232,00.html MUSIC REVIEW Trespassing (2012) Adam Lambert B - Adam Lambert might be the only American Idol alum who considers purple eyeliner a daytime look. So it's hard to understand why it took him so long to make his big gay dance-club album. ( : WTF? ) Even after he came out in 2009, the eighth-season runner-up didn't stop flirting with the straight crowd, indulging in classic-rock guitars and gender-neutral pronouns on his debut, For Your Entertainment. But on Trespassing, he's left the closet far behind — defending gay marriage (''Outlaws of Love'') and celebrating what happens when two consenting adults love each other enough to share their safe words (''Chokehold''). He's also officially coming out as a superfan of funk, '80s-night house, and Studio 54 grooves, tapping Chic's Nile Rodgers to produce, along with Pharrell Williams and Dr. Luke. Thanks to these pop vets, Trespassing's first half is a study in fabulosity: ''Kickin' In'' is stripper-heel disco at its finest, and the rousing ''Shady'' plants its freak flag in the uncharted territory between Nine Inch Nails and Michael Jackson. Too bad the ballad-heavy second half is so laughably over-the-top By the end, our hero is wailing about fallen Towers of Babel and ripping away his flesh and bone to a ''red river of screams.'' Cheer up, Glammy. It's nothing a little makeup remover can't fix. B- Best Tracks: Scissor Sisters-inspired Kickin' In : Industrial Pounder Shady : She is loving the dance part, she's mocking the dark part. WUT? OK then. ETA I brought it all over if you don't want to give them hits. I can't believe a so-called mainstream magazine would publish a review so blatantly hateful and gut-twistingly homophobic! It's not even remotely about the music! No, I don't want to give EW hits, but I hate not calling them out on how low this is. chokehold is about celebrating what happens when two consenting adults love each other enough to share their safe words??? WTF??? She completely missed the whole point and thought it was about S&M? She is an idiot. Coming from this critic, it was amazing that he got a B-. |

OK, I have just found and read EW review. IT IS SO DEEPLY INSULTING, ON SO MANY LEVELS, I'm shocked. How dare they. I won't elaborate any further, I don't want to spread this garbage around. Who wants the link, PM me. "Adam Lambert might be the only American Idol alum who considers purple eyeliner a daytime look.

B- Best Tracks: Scissor Sisters-inspired Kickin' In Industrial Pounder Shady" Hmmm the EW reviewer seems to not like Adam "flirting with the straight crowd", "indulging in classic-rock guitars", "using gender-neutral pronouns", and "wearing purple eyeliner" . Almost sounds as though he/she thinks Adam hasn't been loyal enough to the gay community. Sounds a little angry, resentful, and mean. Someone is hyper-focusing on how Adam is perceived rather than actually listening to Adam's music. This is a very sad thing. Sad that EW would allow this kind of a review. |

Secret Squirrel @squirrely007 RT @urgency: Hey, @ew, your review of Lambert's new album was about 75% gay jokes and stereotypes and that's not funny at all. You get a D-. slackmouth @mouthslack @ew Trespassing review is startlingly homophobic. Bigotry disguised as wit - sorry, "wit" - is still bigotry The Spindleshay @thespindleshay @ew so did any of your editors notice the Trespassing review devotes far more attention to just how gay Lambert is than to the music? lame rachel @rach_eva @ew perhaps you should have given your Adam Lambert album review another read before it went to print chock full of coded homophobia Donna @ala4afam @ew the grading of Adam Lambert's album doesn't bother me but the homophobic tone does.... today of all days. #insulted Gay is OKAY! Michelle @insomniac19 The more and more I think about it the angrier I get. This is EXACTLY what he was talking about in his RS interview. NoAngel @noangelpf So @ew, was that Adam Lambert album review supposed to be about the music, or just an opportunity to be offensive & make homophobic jokes? Teletubby Hellspawn chunkeymonkey81@ew Today POTUS came out in favor of marriage equality. Step into the 21st century. Ignorance does not a music review make. gelly @14gelly @ew I thought you were reviewing an Adam Lambert album, instead you used your words making offensive & homophobic jokes. Bootsy @ladybrinehart RT @mouthslack: @ew Trespassing review is startlingly homophobic. Bigotry disguised as wit - sorry, "wit" - is still bigotry kristen jristen@ew because homophobia definitely something that can be fixed with concealer. We should try that in North Carolina. Satanicfloret @satanicfloret Ironic that on the day this happened twitter.com/#!/adamlambert/status/200348529988878337 @ew published a homophobic review of Lamberts album. :( Heather A McDougald @hmcdesq @ew And to be clear, I don't care whether you like the CD or not. You didn't review Trespassing. You mocked Adam Lambert because he's gay. Michelle @insomniac19 @ew Melissa Maerz can have whatever opinion she wants about Adam's album. I would ask you to kindly remove the homophobic language however. Bootsy @ladybrinehart I'd be sorry for @ew's replied rn, but they deserve peeps pointing out the offensive not-even-subtle gay stereotyping. Gem @argeneau @ew Wow, any chance of having someone else review Adam Lambert's new album that isn't homophobic, making passive aggressive gay stereotypes? Retweeted by jen Secret Squirrel @squirrely007 Dear @ew I thought album reviews were to review the music, not the artists personal life. Or to be a platform for homophobia. Beth Drew @strut_ Dear Melissa Maerz @ew ... I'm sorry that you're so bitter, but spewing homophobia is not cool. You suck. Love, me. THIS IS ONLY A PART OF THE ATTACK. I TRIED TO STAY CALM WHEN I FIRST READ IT, BUT I CAN'T. I AM TOTALLY PISSED. |

This is an unofficial fansite, not Pharrell's site. True , but it's the N 1 fan site and it's exciting that they're saying to buy his album. Yes! Totally agree!! |

This is the EW review in a twit longer so we don't have to give them hits. www.twitlonger.com/show/hbn4r3"Adam Lambert might be the only American Idol alum who considers purple eyeliner a daytime look.

Almost sounds as though he thinks Adam hasn't been loyal enough to the gay community. Sounds a little angry, resentful, and mean. Sounds like someone who is very afraid of how Adam is perceived rather than someone who is objectively reviewing Adam's music. This is a very sad thing. DID THEY EVER LOOK AT THE FYE COVER? DID THEY? FUCKIN MORONS. |
