First, they were accused of messing up the Proposition 8 campaign, then they were chastised for deciding to wait until 2012 to challenge the marriage ban. But they certainly made the right decision when they chose ... http://www.365gay.com/blog/ruby-sachs-tv-ad-during-pageant-will-get-gay-issue-out-to-new-audience/feed/ http://www.365gay.com/blog/112009-lambert-and-hicklin-fight-it-out/ http://www.365gay.com/blog/112009-lambert-and-hicklin-fight-it-out/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:03:39 +0000 James Withers http://www.365gay.com/?p=10863 Against the pleadings of my better angels, I'm ending the week on the war of words between Adam Lambert and Out editor Aaron Hicklin.

The Baltimore teen, who was a quick wit and adored by teachers and peers,  was found in the closet of an aunt. Raped, stabbed, and gagged. "He was a sweet young man. He wasn't afraid of who he was.

Oh, Newsweek, Newsweek, Newsweek. What were you thinking? Were the interns in charge when you made the decision? Has the media meltdown forced you to get rid of some of your best minds, people who would have said the cover of Sarah Palin was 17 steps past wrong?

It's another blow to the LGBT advocacy project and a blow to print media. Now maybe I shouldn't knock blogging.

On the one hand we've got Carrie Prejean, whose 15 minutes of fame feel longer than "The English Patient," throwing a temper tantrum on "Larry King Live" for King's audacity to ask a legitimate question about her choices in the wake of a sex tape scandal.

Homeless shelters, feed the hungry, social outreach, community building, these are all part of the church/shule/mosque environment. So I nod and feel a little guilty for being so judgmental.
