CBS Under Scrutiny for Blurring Gay Kiss

The CBS “Early Show” blurring of Adam Lambert’s kiss with a male bandmate has enraged Jeremy Kinser, an editor of The Advocate, reports Extra.

Immediately before the blurred image, CBS aired unedited footage of Madonna and Britney’s kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.  Kinser claims there is a double standard for male gay entertainers and CBS acted hypocritically as they decided to put Lambert on the show after “Good Morning America” cancelled Lambert’s appearance.

A CBS rep replied saying they gave the situation much thought, but the decision ultimately came down to the image currently causing great controversy.

Tweeps are having a mixture of emotions towards CBS, ranging from appreciation to outrage:
