Yep, you were right. And you and you and you and you. Adam Lambert is gay.
“Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, ‘I’m going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler,’” he tells [Rolling Stone]. “I didn’t want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context.
I’m proud of my sexuality,” Lambert adds. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.”
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) president Neil G. Giuliano has already released a statement on the interview:
“As more and more Americans get to know gay and lesbian people, it has a tremendous impact in terms of creating awareness, understanding and acceptance of our community. American Idol has become iconic in our culture, and as Adam continues to share his story during his post-Idol career, we hope his decision to live openly and honestly inspires gay people and opens the hearts and minds of his fans and others he will continue to entertain.”
What say you, Watermark readers? I’m sure no one is surprised, but do you think Lambert will go on to become the inspirational role model Giuliano is hoping for?
