Adam Lambert on cultural appropriation: 'If we focus on all our differences, we stay segregated'

Adam Lambert has given his views on cultural appropriation.

The singer recently made a comment on Twitter to suggest that today's society is more blended than ever, with the US star saying:

"This whole cultural appropriation debate is so 20 years ago. Our cultures r BLENDING. A new, open minded/hearted generation is on the rise."

Lambert has now followed this up with a series of tweets about how acts and artists reference different cultures because they think they are "beautiful".

The 'Trespassing' man said: "I am so lucky to be part of a circle of fellow artists who are so open and full of love for our respective backgrounds and cultures. There are times I forget (or want to) that there r others that aren't as integrated or progressive. Our experience isn't everyone else's.

"It's why we are the artists. We love to reference things we find beautiful or badass. The creative impulse is actually very pure. If we focus on all our differences, we stay segregated. Right? I'm an Idealist though.... That's my slant. ;) and MY opinion. Everyone has one.

"If anyone takes offense - I'm sorry. Not ever my intention. But when did we all get so damn sensitive!? Life's too short! Have fun, be free. As an out and proud Gay man, I see LGBT culture appropriated all over the place! Catch phrases and all! Am I upset? No - I think it's fab. K I'm off the soapbox. I love us all (sic)."
