Adam Lambert Is Hurting Gay Marriage? NOT!

In an amazingly stupid article in the usually intelligent Huffington Post, Jennifer Vanasco, the Editor in Chief of 365gay.com, wrote that Adam Lambert's sexually racy performance on TV is hurting the cause of gay marriage. Jennifer, you should know better than that. It seems everyone supporting the marriage-only strategy is trying to find someone to blame for its failure to win even one single election. Some blamed our Maine loss on misleading TV ads from the opposition and the President for not speaking out against it. We saw the homophobes put on the SAME misleading ads in over 30 previous elections. This should have surprised no one! Since beginning his campaign for the presidency Obama has never supported same-sex marriage. So, blaming the President for not speaking out is stupid and counter-productive. The President has been very clear he supports federal rights for all same-sex couples in any "legally-recognized unions" and not only "marriage." Now they are trying to blame this young performer. Come off it! The marriage-only strategy is to blame for our failure, not the President and not Adam Lambert. If you want someone to blame, how about the marriage-only activist taking responsibility for their own actions. (That is something I am trying to teach my 4 year old.) They are continuing to try to achieve a worthy goal with a failed strategy. We need a new strategy.
