Adam Lambert: “I’m Gay. I’m proud of my sexuality”

Adam Lambert covers Rolling Stone that hits stands today. In his interview for the mag Adam goes out of the closet and talks about many things, but the cornerstone of his speech is, of course, his sexual orientation.

I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay…. I’m proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It’s just another part of me [But] I’m trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.”

Adam goes on to say he realized he was gay when growing up as he “wasn’t like every other boy.”

[on American Idol] I was like, ‘I’m going to glue rhinestones on my eyelids, b–!’ Right after the finale, I almost started talking about [being gay] to the reporters, but I thought, ‘I’m going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler.’” Adam confessed. “I didn’t want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bulls-. I need to be able to explain myself in context.”

Is that the right context for you, Adam? This guy is so hungry for publicity!
