GLAAD Backs ABC Up
Adam Lambert’s sexual orientation had nothing to do with ABC’s decision to cancel his appearance on two shows on their network but because the American Idol alum couldn’t stick to a script – at least that’s what the network and GLAAD would like you to believe. The nation’s most outspoken gay rights group just released a statement in support of ABC’s decision to pull the singer out of Jimmy Kimmel Live and an upcoming New Year’s Eve special in the wake of his AMA performance. GLAAD backed ABC’s explanation saying “It would appear that the kiss between Adam Lambert and his keyboardist did not factor into ABC’s decision … ABC has a history of positive gay and transgender inclusion that includes featuring kisses between gay and lesbian couples on-air.”
