Clarification

Regarding Adam Lambert; whose AMA performance I did not see live...please do not make this a matter of homosexuality and what might be perceived as my bigotry. Smut is smut. I don't want to see this behavior between two men, two women or any combination thereof. I am offended by the cheapening of the passion that was created by God to establish a relationship set apart from all others into a sideshow.
We have become accustomed to sharing that part of our lives that was once hidden. How then, do our children call sacred what we have called common?
No, it isn't that I am unable to acknowledge passion or sexuality. It isn't that I am embarrassed or ashamed of acts of intimacy. It is that you cannot scatter the ground with diamonds and think they will retain their value.
We have scattered the ground with sex and in the process, the value of love is destroyed.

AMEN! I saw a comment by Tina on Facebook - which led me to watch the video clip of the AMA awards. I did not see it live.

What saddened me the most is that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that my two neices saw the show live - especially since my 14 year old neice is head-over-heels infatuated with Adam Lambert.

I was right - she saw the show. What kind of message is that sending? ....yes, like the scattered diamonds...

I'm glad we don't have TV service any longer. It's bad enough to catch a headline on Yahoo. The still picture Yahoo showed yesterday was disgusting enough ... Hollywood is the Pied Piper and the youth are mesmerized by the tune being led astray. Smut is smut regardless of the combination.
