Petition to stop Adam Lambert performing in Singapore

Petition reaches 20,000 signatures

A group of people calling themselves 'Concerned citizens and parents' have launched a petition to stop Adam Lambert performing a new years countdown gig in Singapore. The reasons behind the petition are for his stance on LGBT rights and his rather sexual performances. 

Lambert is scheduled to headline the 2016 countdown concert in Singapore which is broadcast on television live. The concerned citizens have said "The singer is hardly the kind of performer to send off our historic Jubilee year". 

LGBT rights are a divisive issue in Singapore, as technically sex between men continues to
be a criminal act.

Last year an issue of the Archie comic book series was banned in the country as it depicted same-sex marriage.

Another petition however, in 'support' of Lambert was also setup on the same site. The statement made with this petition was as follows; “We, the moral majority of Singapore utterly denounce and condemn the obvious sexual orientation discrimination demonstrated by the other petition.”

Lambert shared a link to this petition on his Facebook page, alongside a statement which said, “I am a uniter, not a divider, and I believe in celebrating the human heart and spirit… the tour is based primarily on new material, and it promises to be a thoughtful and sophisticated insight into the pursuit of happiness and self-worth.”
