I somewhat agree here. I didn't see Gaga or Eminem, but I did see Jackson's opening performance - and she did do a crotch grab. However, you can't compare Gaga's whiskey bottles, Eminem's lyrics and Jackson's grab to his oral sex routine and homosexual kiss.
I'd agree again here. He's right about criticism being because it was a homosexual act (grabbing male dancer and thrusting crotch in face as though performing oral sex; kissing male keyboardist). I don't like and don't promote lewd performances, but I would rather keep it hetero than homo. I'd have less of an issue if he were a straight man kissing a woman or doing other things during his performance with a woman. Don't agree with it, wouldn't watch it, but it would be better.
Yah, okay. It is the parents responsibility to monitor their child and watch what they allow the children to view. True. But regardless, the performance was raunchy. It was disgusting. It was a punch in the face to the majority of americans who don't agree with the gay lifestyle. He wanted to make a statement, and he did it.
At least his fans can have something to look forward to.
To sum it up, he's playing the victim card. He's a gay performer who's been unfairly singled out, while he feels others (hetero) got a pass.

I agree with him that others should have been excoriated. But they didn't simulate sexual acts and they didn't commit sexual assault against one of their band members. The entire show should have been scrapped. It was awful, both in skill and in the obnoxious display of depravity.
If Adam had sung like that on American Idol, he wouldn't have made it through the audition stage.
