A few years ago I recall there was a WNBA game at Madison Square Garden during which lesbians staged a “kiss in” for whatever reason they thought they had to. My guess is the motivation was pure attention seeking and a need to be seen but who knows. I remember feeling very strongly that not only was it inappropriate because most obviously people brought their children to the games, but also because we as adults should have the right to enjoy ourselves on our free time without having some sexual political agenda being forced down our throats while we are there. If I want to support gay rights I will go to a meeting where it is presented not to Disney World ,professional sporting events or anything else that falls under the umbrella of leisurely activity for me and my family. The awful behavior by Adam Lambert,some American Idol singer on ABC’s AMA award show last night, struck me in exactly the same way. It was grossly self indulgent and highly inappropriate . Those of us with cynical minds may sneer and say thats what made it great , that it said screw all convention and was a charged performance. (I have mistakenly always assumed performances required talent.)Once again I will answer .. Why should my leisure family time be infested with some person’s obssesive need to be seen in a vulgar way or by some hidden agenda by a pseudo political group? Why are the needs of some perverted ,greedy individual or the agenda of a gay rights group and the money it can possibly generate more important than the rights of our children and the decency and respect we as adults should be offered on our free time? Adults have the right to choose if they want to be involved in some political cause or go to a racy sex show . That is what makes our country great. However ,it becomes distinctly wrong when an adults choose to do something like go to a sporting event and it is shoved down their throats. Or possibly their 10 year old daughter has a passion for music and a parent chooses to put on the AMA awards ( network tv: ABC) so she can see professionals perform and is victimized by the egocentric ,money motivated, self indulgent antics of some gay singer. Will this all end when we finally have achieved full dissolution of the family in this country? Furthermore if you are someone who still believes in family and has certain values where do you turn?? I can tell you this with certainty…What we are allowing and choosing as a society is tremedously compromising to the fabric and integrity of the family in America. Our children are learning that that the expression of an individual even if it is sexual ,violent and evil and the need to make money are more important than their own self worth.
