ABC's "Good Morning America" Cancels Adam Lambert Concert Amid Fallout from Raunchy AMA Performance

Well, the fallout from American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert's disgraceful American Music Awards performance has begun. According to Newser, he won't be appearing on "Good Morning America" tomorrow. He had the hubris to say that the reaction can be considered discriminatory and that's too bad. I was more enraged by the simulation of oral sex than I was over the kiss. I am really surprised that the gay and lesbian community has been very quiet on his actions.
TVNewser has learned ABC News canceled the concert after Lambert's sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards Sunday night. Lambert led men on leashes, dragged a woman by her foot, and smashed a man's head into his crotch, all while singing his new single "For Your Entertainment."

ABC, which aired the awards show, received about 1,500 phone calls from people complaining about the performance, a number ABC calls "moderate." An ABC News spokesperson tells TVNewser, "given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."

Lambert performed as part of GMA's summer concert series in August, and it was in a "20/20" interview that Lambert came out, telling Chris Connelly, "I am gay, and I'm very comfortable with it." Source: TV Newser
I have no issue with this man being gay, but to simulate oral sex on stage during a show that is widely watched by children is disgusting and disgraceful. He hasn't even reach the pinnacle of his career and he is already turning people off. I was equally disgusted when Madonna was lip-locked with Brittany Spears during an appearance on an awards show. We have lost all sense of decorum in this country and people who are upset about Adam Lambert's raunchy performance need to speak up.
