'This week, GLAAD received several incident reports about an article published to Yahoo! Music's 'Reality Rocks' blog featuring an interview with openly gay recording artist Adam Lambert.
Our constituents alerted us to a number of hateful comments, many of which promoted anti-gay violence. One commenter wrote, "This is why a concentration camp is needed for homosexuals," while another said he wished Lambert would die by suicide.

'While many comments supported Lambert and the gay community, GLAAD counted 83 of the article's 279 visible comments (29.7%) that were in violation of Yahoo's Terms of Service...'
GLAAD.
There's some lovely people out there...
