As
New York inches closer to possibly legalizing gay marriage,
singers Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga tweet their support.
Lambert, the 29-year-old openly gay
runner-up of American Idol
season 8, messaged on Sunday to his more than 1 million followers a
link to his website featuring a quote from comedian-actress Liz
Feldman: “It's very dear to me, the issue of gay marriage. Or, as
I like to call it: 'marriage.' You know, because I had lunch this
afternoon, not gay lunch. I parked my car, I didn't gay park it.”
“Exactly,” Lambert said. “If we
want to progress as a society we have to begin to focus on how we are
the same and not how we're different.”
Last week, Lady Gaga rallied her 11
million Twitter army of followers to fight for New York's proposed
legislation, and specifically
targeted undecided Senator Mark Grisanti of Buffalo.
“Attention Little Monsters URGENT,”
she messaged with a link to a
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) page urging proponents to voice their
support for the legislation. “Call your senators, and help
legalize Gay Marriage in NY TODAY. Justice.”

Dov Hikind ironically asserts that Lady Gaga nearly convinced him on
gay marriage.)
