Adam Lambert And Mom Leila Honored By PFLAG
Quote :
Adam Lambert and his mother Leila Lambert were honored by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) in Beverly Hills on Sunday night (September 25).
The inverted triangle is a symbol that represents the LGBT community, and was given to Adam because of his “authentic” voice—because he is willing to stand up and be authentic in his voice. The other piece of the logo is the heart, which represents the family supporting LGBT people. This part of the award was presented to Leila for her support of her son.
Both Leila and Adam gave touching acceptance speeches upon receiving their awards. Leila first spoke about her discussion with Adam when he first told her that he was gay. She then shared her experience from her first PFLAG meeting, where she realized that everyone left with a feeling of camaraderie. “I really feel like we are in this together. It takes all of us to do this. We really need to be supportive. We as straight people, we as gay people, we all need to be together on this. It really makes a huge difference.”
