Gay Rights: We Demand Cultural Acceptance of Ball Gags & Bondage Straps

I would like to remind Adam Lambert that families with kids watch TV during the prime time evening hours. If you have not seen You Tube videos of his AMA awards performance, you've probably heard about it. It was a whirling spectacle of eye liner, leather, spiked shoulder pads, bondage wear, face in crotch dance moves, male on male deep throat kissing and sexual simulations that would have made Madonna blush in 1988. All of this set to a tune that sounded like a group of pterodactyls in a bag being beaten with a whip. Though I'm sure it was a very kinky bondage whip.

Though Lambert said his goal was "not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom", I think that freedom of expression and artistic freedom can be promoted without simulated oral sex on prime time TV, call me crazy... See,"Freedom of expression" is not synonymous with "immoral, over sexualized behavior" contrary to the belief of some (mainly liberals and the ACLU).

I love how Adam Lambert wants to be the beacon of "freedom of expression". His self righteous attitude is overwhelming. Gadzillions of more talented men (and women...wouldn't want to discriminate) have come before him, but this twit in leather pants, with a gelled pompadour and eye liner is going to revolutionize the world and fight for artistic freedom for all....

I'm tired of sexual depravity in the name of "equal rights" and "free expression". Yes, you are free to express yourself, and yes, you have freedom of speech guaranteed in the Constitution, but have you ever heard of basic decency and morality? Guess what? Not everything has to be on display for the world to see in order for it to be legit, meaningful and accepted.

I have nothing against two men loving each other, I see nothing wrong with the gay lifestyle. Everyone should be able to love whomever they fall in love with as far as I care. To each his own. I just don't think it needs to be put on display constantly. Sexuality doesn't need to be flaunted by gays or straights. Its that need for attention and ridiculous over the top behavior that actually hurts the gay movement and prevents the level of acceptance from mainstream America that they so desperately seek.

I just get really sick of the gay movement using shock factor to seek acceptance. Gay pride? Absolutely, I can get behind anyone wanting to be proud of who they are. But it doesn't have to mean a parade full of men in bondage outfits, boas, wigs and thongs screaming "We're here! We're queer! Get used to it!" while twittering and dancing down the street at noon on a Saturday for all to see.

When women were fighting for equal rights you didn't see them bouncing around naked and shaking their boobs demanding the vote. The civil rights movement did not find black people in bondage whipping each other with ball gags in their mouths-so why do so many gay rights parades/protests involve pornographic dress and behavior?!?! How do they expect to be taken seriously in the eyes of anyone when they act like that? I'm tired of the gay rights crowd using blatant porn for pure spectacle. I'd be just as grossed out of a man and a women sucked deep throat like Adam did to his band mate, it's not the man on man thing, it's the fact that two people don't need to stick tongues down each others throats on network TV during prime time when my kids are watching. That level of overt sexual behavior belongs in the bedroom, not on the street and certainly not on TV without a warning. I'm not a prude, honest-my kids weren't hatched from eggs. I'm just a mom.

The gay rights movement needs to focus the attention on what they have to say, instead of who is saying it, so they can make a well reasoned argument for how they should be treated "just like everyone else". See, the "everyone else" they want to be like doesn't wear sequined bras, body glitter and clownish drag makeup. If gays want to be accepted by mainstream society, maybe they should try regular, albeit incredibly fashionable, clothing instead of peacock feathered boas and sequined thongs. If Adam Lambert wants to be taken seriously, then perhaps he should focus more on trying to sing on key without screeching than on grabbing his crotch just to get headlines.
