Bedlam, which unleashed its first issue on Tuesday (April 30), sees Lambert fans coming together to contribute articles and interviews.

In a blurb on their website, the free magazine said:

"BEDLAM is an ongoing creative alliance comprised of Adam Lambert fans coming together to share our creative works, ideas, and passion on the pages of Bedlam Fanzine, a FREE interactive digital magazine."

The first issue sits at a massive 234 pages and it can be viewed here. Speaking about the zine, Bedlam said:

"This 234 page rebooted premiere issue explores how fans express their fascination and fanaticism with Adam Lambert! The digital fanzine will feature original art, fashion, essays, humor, photos, commentary, "BEST" lists, playlists, event recaps, recipes, blog profiles, interviews, and much, much more."

Lambert has teamed up with the charity and the U.S. cell phone provider to offer followers the chance to win a place at an intimate concert and attend an exclusive 'meet and greet', but he has now revealed information on another way to to fundraise for The Trevor Project, which is an LGBT crisis and suicide prevention service provider.

Writing on his official social networking page over the weekend, the 'Trespassing' superstar explained that AT&T will donate 50¢ (32p) to the aforementioned organisation for every 'retweet' the message receives:

"I’ve teamed up w/ @ATT, @TrevorProject. For each person who RT this AT&T will donate 50¢, max 50k to @TrevorProject #attliveproud."

The 'Live Proud' campaign, which Lambert is both supporting and promoting with his involvement in the contest, aims to help the LGBTQ community to feel inspired, empowered and proud. Fans have been asked to share an image or story that best represents an AT&T “Live Proud” moment to enter.

The competition is only open to entrants from the USA and 10 winners will be chosen from across the country to meet Lambert at an intimate gig in Los Angeles.

A message on the competition's official Facebook page explains that "The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth" and that "AT&T's collaboration with Adam Lambert was based upon Adam's compassionate work and bold influence in the LGBTQ community."

The contest will end on June 30 and you can enter here.

Kent, publisher of South Florida Gay News, posted a message yesterday (April 17) slamming the 'Trespassing' superstar for gracing the front page for nothing more than splitting with his boyfriend and explaining that Lambert "has not made a career promoting gay rights. He has made a career promoting himself, his music, and his albums."

Jason Parsley, the associate publisher, has now hit back at the claims made by Kent and confirmed that he strongly disagrees. Of Lambert's activism for the LGBT community, he writes: "In May he’ll be traveling to Vienna to perform at Europe’s largest HIV fundraiser, Life Ball. In 2011 for his 29th birthday Lambert set a fundraising record for charity: Water, which brings safe drinking water into developing nations. He raised more than $320,000. His starting goal was a measly $29,000, proving the power of his celebrity status. These few items only scratch the surface."

Parsley continues: "I disagree with the piece – and him – wholeheartedly. Kent attempted to make the case that Lambert hasn’t done anything for the gay community in his short few years on the public stage. But what my publisher obviously failed to realize is just how much Adam Lambert has been doing for the gay community."

"He’s the first mainstream pop artist to come out at the beginning of their career. Look how long it took celebrities like Elton John or George Michael to come out?"

"Adam Lambert isn’t just making a difference in America, he’s making a difference all over the world. He recently performed in Russia, a country that may ban foreign gay couples from adopting children; that is trying to ban ‘homosexual propaganda;’ and last year Moscow banned Pride marches in the city for the next 100 years. Yet Lambert performed there giving young LGBT people in Russia hope and a role model to look up to."

Describing the 'Trespassing' hitmaker unworthy of his GLAAD Award, Kent went on to slam him for his lack of work for the LGBT community:

"Few things reflect how shallow national LGBT organizations can be other than the revelation that the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is going to coronate Adam Lambert with a national media award in San Francisco next month [...] Adam Lambert may be a Grammy nominee, a Billboard 200 artist, and he may sleep with other men, but he has not made a career promoting gay rights. He has made a career promoting himself, his music, and his albums."

He continued: "He (Lambert) is a rising young gay star whose career is just beginning, and maybe someday he will take his fame and fortune and advance the cause of LGBT equality. But he has not yet done so. Therefore, seeing him on the cover of our newspaper a few weeks ago made my partner and me puke."

Referring to the cover story, which was about Lambert splitting from long-term partner Sauli, Kent added: "As I have been on leave, the staff has been running the show. You hire good people and you trust them to do the job. My business partner trusts me to make sure we get the job done. Both of us went ballistic that Lambert was on our cover. Other than feature new makeup every day, what has this kid done to warrant a cover story?"

The full article, which can be found here, goes on to conclude that the only thing Lambert was useful for was getting the newspaper and online verion 'hits': Meanwhile, thanks Adam. Because of you our website got more hits and a spike we had never received anything like ever before."

Back in March, Lambert was named the recipient of the 2013 GLAAD Davidson/Valentini Award, which goes to "openly LGBT media professionals who have made a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community".

The vocal powerhouse was subsequently praised by a GLAAD spokesperson for his 'fearless' attitude: "Adam Lambert's continued success as one of the world's best-selling pop stars shows LGBT people that they can be themselves and make it in a mainstream industry that many feel unfairly rejects them. Adam is fearless on stage and astonishes audiences in every country he performs in."

He also recently received the key to Miami from the Miami Beach Mayor, who praised Lambert for "being brave enough to be openly gay on 'American Idol', after headlining the Miami Beach Gay Pride event and was cheered on by thousands of supporters.

The hitmaker took home the 'Favourite International Artist' title and during his acceptance speech thanked his fans for helping him to win the accolade:

"Thank you so much to Channel V and to you guys here, and to my fans out here."

"I'm so glad to be here in Macau and I'm so glad to be performing for you in a little bit. Thank you, I love you!"

Writing on his official Twitter page about the honour earlier today (April 18), Lambert expressed his gratitude for the recognition: "So honored to have received the Chinese Music Award for Fav International Artist tonight!! Thank u Channel V! I had so much fun performing!"

While on the red carpet, Lambert stopped for a brief interview and spoke about performing on the Chinese version of 'The Voice' recently along with how his tour of Asia has been, and said:

"It's my second time coming to Macau. I had so much fun, it was amazing. It was great to be on 'The Voice'. It was amazing, a little tour here of south east Asia here. We also did Hong Kong, it was wonderful. I love my Chinese fans!"
