American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert talks about "being yourself" in a People.com exclusive. "It's a really, really cool thing to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it." "The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are."
But for anyone still questioning his sexuality, Lambert says, "Calm down, and keep speculating." When asked if he'll address his sexuality directly in an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, he had only one word to say: "Maybe."
Please, please, please.... let the whole "Adam Lambert is Gay" thing rest already. Why would any artist who is just starting to build a career want to spoil it by coming out? Did Elton John come out as gay early in his career? No, he claimed to be bisexual and today he's gay and married to his partner. Adam has many years ahead of him to come out if in fact he is something other than straight. Forcing him into a corner is just plain trouble. His evasive comments above have him starting to sound like Sarah Palin and that's definitely not good for a budding career.
