"Adam Lambert made one of THE defining gay anthems of our time...Outlaws of Love ” > A++ VMA article by @EQMusicBlog http://ow.ly/omibP

Have seen tweets and comments in several other threads, but thought it also belonged here as it beautifully clarifies, among other things, a terrible oversight at the VMAs....

EQ Commentary:
LGBT Equality Or Just A Really Good Show? The Macklemore VMAs Gay Debate
28 Aug 2013
Adam's part here...
The problem here really is society, it’s not Macklemore at all. Gay male artists have tried for years to get the recognition that Macklemore received overnight as our “new LGBT hero”. Many gay male artists have had to hide their sexuality in the industry to even garner a sliver of respect and support in their pursuit of a career in music. Gay artists like George Michael, Darren Hayes and Ricky Martin hid their their sexuality altogether during their reign on the charts, waiting until the right moment to come out that wouldn’t equate to complete career suicide. It’s very brave and surprisingly difficult to pull something like that off with the spotlight following on your every move whilst you’re gracing the Billboard Hot 100.

On the other side of the coin, we have the gay trailblazers like Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, Sam Sparro and Adam Lambert who have had moderate mainstream commercial success whilst being out from the very beginning of their careers. But why doesn’t society raise and elevate these artists to VMA status for being honest and true to who they are from the beginning? Something is definitely off here when we only allow gay artists to elevate up to a certain point in the commercial mainstream, MTV / radio-friendly world of music.

I’d like to examine that if I may…

Last year Adam Lambert made one of THE defining gay anthems of our time – it’s called “Outlaws Of Love” and it’s one of those LGBT anthems that literally brings tears to my eyes, every time I see and hear him perform it. Most people would have deemed this track more than single-worthy. A lot of hardcore Adam Lambert fans would have supported this song as a potential single from “Trespassing”, with hopes of elevating Adam Lambert to the level of Freddie Mercury or Elton John. But why wasn’t “Outlaws Of Love” released as a single? It’s actually more poetic than Gaga’s “Born This Way” if you’ve ever heard it. Well we can only guess, but something tells me that Adam Lambert would have loved RCA to have invested heavily into “Outlaws Of Love” as a single in 2012 – but they didn’t. Instead, they wanted him to make an album of 80′s cover songs which eventually led to leaving the label due to “creative differences”. You can’t say the boy didn’t try!

Adam Lambert was also actually in attendance at the 2013 VMAs in which he presented an “Artist To Watch” award to Austin Mahone for nothing more than having released his a mediocre song and video for “What About Love”. Meanwhile the LGBT equality show is going on in full effect at the VMAs with Adam Lambert not partaking. Instead MTV is crowning Macklemore with high praise for “Same Love” – bringing a straight rapper, a lesbian and a straight R&B superstar ally in way of Jennifer Hudson to perform the track to the world on international television. Everyone really, except a gay male artist was present during this LGBT equality show. But I guarantee you this, if Adam Lambert would have joined Macklemore, Lewis, Mary Lambert and Jennifer Hudson during their performance of “Same Love”, the result would have had a much bigger impact.

Actually, if that happened, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now.
