Proceeds benefit The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth.
Each pendant features Adam Lambert’s signature and “Believe In You” inscription on the back.
“I believe that peace is exactly what the Trevor Project promotes. Peace of mind, peace amongst our youth and peace at home. With peace comes comfort and grace and that is my wish for ALL.” Adam writes on the website.
In this week’s edition of Adam Lambert airplay, there is something positive to report — not only did the singer actually end up staying steady with hit “Whataya Want From Me,” but the song actually ended up adding a few spins.
Overall, the hit managed a total of 1,655 spins in the past week across all formats (via Idol Chatter) — which is a tiny gain of seven from the week before. As for what brought this on, we could really just blame this on just a few naturally-occurring fluctuations — even though it could also be easy to say that Adam getting honored by the Los Angeles Equality Awards helped to give him some additional exposure. (You could also say the same about his appearance at the VH1 Do Something Awards.)
COMMENTARY: Important lessons learned from a night of equality
Quote :
A couple weekends ago, I experienced a great night for equality at Equality California’s 2011 Los Angeles Equality Awards. I’ve served on EQCA’s board for several years, and this year, had the privilege of co-chairing the gala with the charming Jeannette Yazedjian.
EQCA’s new Executive Director Roland Palencia was introduced and EQCA honored New York Assemblymember Daniel O’Donnell (sponsor of New Yorks’ historic Marriage Equality Act and Rosie O'Donnell's brother); social media company Facebook; and pop star Adam Lambert.
We got extra entertainment and a "YouTube moment" when the always-unpredictable Kathy Griffin presented Lambert with his award by commanding an impromptu singing duet with the “American Idol” runner-up.
The audience also experienced deep emotions when Wendy and Shawn Walsh took the stage to honor their son and brother Seth, the 13-year old California boy who committed suicide after being bullied at school.
As the three award recipients made their acceptance speeches, they each reminded me of poignant lessons for our LGBT’s community fight for equality.
