Gay sex is a criminal offense in Malaysia, and the main Islamist opposition party disapproves of singer Adam Lambert’s openness about his sexuality, describing it as promoting “gay culture”.
The former American Idol runner-up performed in the mainly Muslim Southeast Asian country recently, and said that the only thing he would omit from his show was an onstage kiss with a fellow male artist.
"My performance will still have a lot of vibes about it," said Lambert.
“…I'm just refraining from making one little kiss,” he pointed out to Reuters correspondents when asked whether he was sending the wrong message by agreeing to suppress his sexuality in his show.
"There will be lots of leather and some sequins, and spikes and studs and fur, it'll be exciting," he insisted.
Exciting for whom, we wonder? Did the Islamic politicians have grounds for their anger? Share your thoughts with us in the box below.
