Out? 'I’ve Never Been In:' Lambert

Share

(Newser) – Adam Lambert finds it “funny” that people are talking about him “coming out” in the new Rolling Stone. “I’ve never been in,” he tells Access Hollywood. Lambert says he didn’t discuss his sexuality during American Idol because he wanted people to focus on his talent. “I chose to kind of ignore the issue until after the voting ended,” says the second-place finisher, but he thought it wasn’t much of a secret: “I sang Cher during Hollywood week.”

Lambert does concede that his sexuality is a little more nebulous than straight-up gay. “I wouldn’t ever give myself the label ‘bisexual,’ but bi-curious? Yeah. I’ve been known to make out with girls from time to time. Couple drinks involved, you know. It’s fun. And who knows? Maybe it’ll go further someday. I don’t know.”

"This is "news"?! This is nobody's business! This should not be an issue at all! I personally am not interested in what ANYbody does for "fun" after a couple of drinks! Reply

its everybody's business he is now a public figure like it or not he is going to shape the minds and hearts of people. Most likely it will be shape able minds and hearts. Thats why it matters. If its nobodies business what a couple of drinks do why are the DUI laws. And don't answer me back with some snarky comment about guys kissing guys doesn't hurt anyone. Thats a load. Bit guess what if his album is good Ill buy it. Hows that for hypocrisy.

DUI laws are a completely different matter. Being gay only "hurts" fundamentalists if you want to put it that way which really only makes it a religious issue, which in my opinion should be a personal thing even for public figures. Sadly, I heard his popularity on the show went down after he "came out". We still have a generation or two to go till homosexuality is fully accepted.

If your mind and heart is shaped by American Idol contestants, you stood no chance to begin with.
