Adam Lambert Kissing A Guy During A Performance Shouldn't Be A Big Deal.
Notice how I say, it shouldn't be a big deal, due to a homophobic audience and bias news sources it is being made into a big deal. 1500 complaints isn't that many and I don't see how they have a right to complain, it was freedom of expression and art. And personally I think that these complaints are a form of discrimination and that expressions such as these should be encouraged to quash this sort of pathetic hatred. Come on people Lambert is gorgeous and it's a performance, not anything to do with sexuality.

The only thing that bothers me is the fact that Adam Lambert is gay. It breaks my heart along with millions of other women to know we don't have a snowball's chance in hell with that cutie.

 I loved Stephen Colbert's quote on Adam. "you can't change someone's sexuality through prayer - it hasn't worked for the millions of teenage girls praying over Adam Lambert"

Oh i don't think its gay men v women as much as it is a blatant discomfort with sexuality. Sexuality belongs in strip clubs and the dictionary. Where they know it will be not on tv where it didn't used to be. The argument is equally archaic as homosexuality being immoral. What's sad is that it's those frantic, arguing tactics that keeps people in the closet and thusly more craving for the spotlight and glamorizing pop culture and the alternative trends that follow.
It's all so much simpler than any screaming pundit will let their masses believe. They themselves do not have an opinion on the matter. Just a college degree in reading cue cards. No offense communications majors. ;)

I'm going to agree but I think some of the complaints were about the act of oral sex within the dance moves. I saw that and I kinda lifted my brow, but the guy-on-guy kiss wasn't a big deal for me and shouldn't be a big deal for anyone else. I love how women can kiss and its all good but when men kiss? That's just disgusting, right?

 Bill O Reily has been described as having had a field day with the whole performance. Apparently it high lights the moral collaspe taking place in society.
I've watched the performance and I thought the whole thing was rather sexy, Adam certainly has some moves which I certainly wouldn't have any problem with if it were me involved lol.
But seriously I think that we live in a very white, heterosexual society where control still trickles down from them and people like O Reilly properly get turned on when he sees Madonna and Britiany kiss but due to the double standard gay men aren't allowed the same liberty.

You are so right that I still don't care. I don't care who Adam Lambert is. I don't care who he kisses on MTV. And I certainly don't care that it was a man. I saw the picture and I couldn't tell what sex either of them were. They looked like cheap David Bowie A.K.A. Ziggy Stardust knock offs to me.

I agree for precisely the same reasons as Gren. It isn't a big deal or certainly no bigger deal than Brittney and Madonna kissing. The fact that people have complained only highlights the act in the first place so Adam Lambert should be (and no doubt will be) pleased that people have complained. As should you be really.

People are still allowed to voice their opinions though if they do find it distateful and you should be confident enough that you have reason on your side to quash those opinions for what they are - archaic

I'm agreeing only because there definitely is a double standard (not because I thought what he did was artsy or cool or your claim it had "nothing to do with sexuality"). The fact is if Brittany Spears had been leading a male sex slave around stage on a leash and had kissed him and faked a few sex moves the whole thing would have been "ordinary".

 Yeh I didn't have enough room to mention the whole double standards thing. I might be wrong but didn't Britiany and Madonna kiss on stage a few years ago. I think it's a male thing, heterosexual men are powerful and they dislike gay men kissing but lesbians kissing is kind of like a fantasy that they enjoy and they don't have so much of a problem with it.

Not wanting to see two men kiss on t.v. Does not make you 'homophobic' Kddan.

'Art'? No, it was simply a way to garner attention.

 It was definitely an attention grabber. Glambert has done it again!

Only 15,000 complaints, it most probably would be 15,000,000 if more people knew about it! Make that 15,001 now kddan, that kind of thing makes me physically sick!

 1500. This is one of the reasons why your science is so weak.
