HOMO HATERS PROTEST ADAM LAMBERT AT IDOL CONCERT

Sometimes living in New York City, I forget that although we have come very far with gay rights, we still have a long way to go. Reality definitely hit home for Adam Lambert when The Westboro Baptist Church hit up an American Idol concert in Kansas City yesterday to protest the existence of last season's talented second place performer. They were met by at least a couple of counterprotesters, who got them on record.

Said Megan Phelps-Roper, while a few others sang some of their own tunes about how "Brokeback Mountain" has ruined America: "These are a bunch of rebels against God and they're teaching rebellion against the standards and commandments of God."

Tweeted Lambert in response late last night: "Thank you all for the support. Love overcomes hate. Love has no color. Love has no orientation. All is love. :)"

Amen sister. I say religious extremists have ruined America, not Brokeback Mountain. If the only defense you have for your stupidity is using a fucking movie that promoted love and longing for someone but because of society, you can't be together with your true love, then maybe you need a better defense.
