GLAAD released an additional statement on the ABC – Adam Lambert controversy this afternoon less padded than the two awkward statements issued in the previous 24 hours.
Says GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios in the new statement:
"We appreciate ABC's commitment to gay and transgender inclusion in other programming. However, let us be clear that GLAAD remains steadfast in our assertion that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard by ABC as an openly gay performer. We do not support ABC cancelling Adam Lambert's past and future performances. We urge the community to reach out to ABC and express their concerns that Adam Lambert is being subjected to a double standard."
GLAAD also sent along a link leading to information on its website about who at ABC you can call and email with your outrage, something that many of you have already been doing without their help.
