Adam Lambert's short-lived facial hair
has been mocked by men's fashion glossy GQ as “testosterone
problems.”
The glossy roundly knocked the
29-year-old openly gay Lambert when he stepped out in April wearing a
mustache and goatee at an ASCAP event. “If you wear make-up, do
not grow a mustache,” the magazine opined in naming the singer's
whiskers among the “best and worst” style moments of the past 12
months.
On Tuesday, the magazine's editors went
further, tweeting, “Rules of Street Style: If you have testosterone
problems, a mustache doesn't always help,” along with a link to its
online lineup of this year's memorable style moments to cheer or jeer
at.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation (GLAAD) chided the fashion glossy and demanded an apology
in a tweet: “@GQfashion Being gay is not a 'testosterone problem' –
Apologize to @adamlambert & the gay community.”
GQ editors quickly complied.
“Re: our Lambert tweet, we were
thoughtless and apologize. We shouldn't make stupid jokes about
people's testosterone. As always, we learn,” the editors messaged
on Twitter.
