Singers Adam Lambert and Ricky Martin
are among the openly gay celebrities accepting the ice bucket
challenge in support of the ALS Association.
The group's #IceBucketChallenge helps
raise awareness and funds to help in the fight to find a cure for
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrics Disease), a
neurodegenerative disease.
Lambert accepted the challenge from
Chris Colfer, Matthew Smith and Charl Brown and dared Brian May,
Roger Taylor and Rufus Taylor to follow his lead. (The video is

In
his 60-second video, Martin says he's very happy to be a part of
the cause.
“But I also want to challenge some
people. I want to challenge Will.i.am. I want to challenge Kylie
Minogue. I want to challenge Joe Madden, Calle 13, Sofia Vergara,
Juanes and Pablo Alboran,” Martin said before lifting a bucket of
ice cold water and pouring it over himself.
