Adam Lambert Pushes for Change
by Hilton Hater at .Recently going on record with how difficult it can be to balance life as an openly gay man with life as a a recording artist, Adam Lambert stopped and combined both worlds this week.
Prior to performing "A Change Is Gonna Come" in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the singer told the crowd:
"The thing about the song is, it's amazing that it was originally intended for civil rights, and ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't noticed, the gay and lesbian community is in a civil-rights movement right now."
Adam then detailed his own experiences with discrimination before moving into a heartfelt rendition of the single. Watch it all unfold now:

I like your songs so much. May you be happy forever Adam!
The truth will out ... that TRUTH being that ADAM should have WON American Idol for that performance ALONE!! All the rest were just previews leading up to that EPIC moment. I CRIED when ADAM sang it on AI Finale night because I KNEW ADAM wasn't going to win when the producer asked ADAM to perform THAT particular song. It was a silent precursor of the outcome. NOW ... almost two years later ... I am crying tears of JOY as I once again watch him perform it ... ADAM has been validated and recognized WORLDWIDE for the artist that he IS ... TOTALLY!!!
I luv u adam u r super talent, and goregous!
one of my favorite parts of that whole thing is at the beginning when he says "open the gate." lol! :)
I was extremely moved by Adam's speech on civil and LGBT rights. I understand that DADT has been repealed, but am not counting that just yet. Need absolute confirmation. If true, this is indeed a step in the right direction. Adam, has become s role model for equality, whether that was his intention or not. Keep in mind that organized religion use to consider women less valuable than farm animals. We have all come a long way baby!!!
