Adam Lambert was recently honored at the 2011 Equality Awards and was also presented with ‘Equality Idol Award’ for being a role model to the LGBT Youth. Adam Lambert has also participated in a campaign called “It Gets Better” and donated the proceeds coming from the song ‘Aftermath’ to the national suicide-prevention hotline for LGBT youth called “The Trevor Project”. Here’s the video below and for Adam’s acceptance speech, he said: “Over the past couple of years since American Idol I’ve recognized my responsibility as a gay man in the public eye. And that’s something that I’m really thankful for. As a teenager growing up when I was struggling with my own identity, I didn’t have anybody. I didn’t have anybody to really look up to…and to recognize the opportunity to be somebody that was comfortable being ‘a fuckin weird fag,’ hello, and I own that phrase. I am. I’m weird, I love it! I was that theater kid in high school that like playing dress up…and to have someone be like that in the public eye and to be proud of who they are, I realized that this was my chance to do that for other people.”
