Will Adam Lambert really bring a change to the apparently double-standard censorship that seem to be present in the US media?

Cannot believe it? I found some examples:

1. Adam Lambert is Censored – Madonna and Britney Are Immortalized
Double Standard Censorship: What’s Okay for Girls Isn’t Okay for Boys
by Damien Andrews, AP

After American Idol finalist Adam Lambert kissed a boy during his performance at the 2009 American Music Awards, CBS network executives immediately blurred the image for all repeat broadcasts on their channel. But when Madonna kissed Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music awards, that 15 second girl-on-girl kiss was all we saw on the news for a month. And it was as clear as crystal. In fact some news networks slowed the footage down and enlarged it so we could see just how saucy (pornographic?) Britney and Madonna got during their open mouth smooch. They blurred Adam Lambert’s kiss, but enlarged and enhanced Madonna and Britney’s kiss. My point is: double standard censoring is alive and well. Girls kissing girls on TV has become a lucrative business out in Hollywood, in part thanks to the award winning Showtime lesbian drama, The L-Word. But you will never see a show like The L-Word based on men, apparently. Mainstream society has become very comfortable with a girl kissing another girl. But obviously we are still not ready to see a boy kissing another boy on TV. Just ask Adam Lambert.

In a straight male dominated world, scenes like Adam Lambert kissing another boy will never be widely accepted on TV or in the movies. One question I keep asking myself is: if Adam Lambert was a girl, would his same sex kiss have been blurred out at the AMA’s? Um, well, obviously not. Is that okay? No, not really.

UPDATED: Pink’s performance provoked strong reactions too.

Any more? give me a shout!

LATimes shed some more light and gives some more facts about Adam Lambert’s abc cancellations.
In their article ‘ABC shuts Adam Lambert out of ‘Kimmel’: Is the FCC to blame?’ we read among others that, despite Adam giving the blame on FFC, not ABC:

The performance on Kimmel’s live stage was scheduled before Lambert made his now infamous debut on the AMAs on Nov. 22.
The FCC doesn’t monitor programming after 10 p.m. (Adam’s appearance aired at 10:55 pm)
In a statement to The Times, an ABC spokeswoman made no mention of the FCC and would only explain the network’s decision to disinvite Lambert from performing on “Kimmel” as follows, “We decided not to move forward with the booking at this time.” ABC declined to be interviewed about the issue.

Some of the abc producers talked about Adam’s AMA performance just after the show has been aired.
The video is called ‘AMA Aftermath’ (!) and the main conclusion is that… Adam is not famous enough to do the controversial things on stage (!).
