Adam Lambert to Rock Logo's 2nd Annual "Trailblazer Honors"

As LGBT Pride Month kicks off and the nation awaits an historic Supreme Court decision on marriage equality, Logo today announced that Grammy nominee and GLAAD Media Award recipient Adam Lambert will perform at the 2015 Logo “Trailblazer Honors.” The annual event and television special honoring pioneers at the forefront of the march to LGBT equality airs on Saturday, June 27 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. LGBT celebrities and allies including Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sir Ian McKellen, Raven SymonĂ©, Judith Light and more will be included throughout the event.

“We’re on the verge of a transformative moment for marriage equality in the midst of a remarkable time for LGBT rights,” said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV and Logo. “This year’s “Trailblazer Honors” will be a celebration of the pioneers from across the spectrum of the LGBT movement who continue to drive the sweeping changes at hand.”

“Trailblazer Honors” will recognize and feature celebrities, politicians, activists and trendsetters who are transforming the cultural landscape and elevating LGBT equality. The one-hour special will be held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, one of the first religious institutions in New York City to champion the causes of LGBT people, including the fight for marriage equality.

Adam Lambert will perform his new single ‘Ghost Town’ from his upcoming album ‘The Original High,’ set for release on June 16. Lambert is the first out LGBT artist to have a number one hit on the Billboard 200. In 2014, he received the Davidson/Valentini Award from GLAAD for his LGBT advocacy efforts, including his work with LGBT youth organization The Trevor Project.
