In the September issue of OUT (on sale August 23), cover star Adam Levine talks frankly about the way his family responded to his younger brother when he came out. “I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality I acquired. Trust me, you’re born with it. My brother is gay, and we knew when he was two,” he told interviewer Shana Naomi Krochmal. “We all really wanted to provide some cushion for him and constantly let him know that it’s OK.”
The musician, a coach on NBC’s wildly-successful The Voice, was scathing of families who try to change a gay child. “A lot of people don’t want their kid to be gay and will fight it all costs, but I’ve got news for you—it’s a losing f***ing battle,” he said. “You’ve got to embrace it from the beginning. That’s the only way to deal with it as a family. Otherwise you’re just screwing yourself over, and you’re going to make your kid miserable.” [ KEEP READING ]

Maroon 5’s pretty boy front man, Adam Levine, stops by the OUT studio to chat about their new album, Lady Gaga, and his buddy Jake Gyllenhaal's sexuality.
On the Misunderstood Jake:
Will everyone stop thinking that dude is gay? Seriously guys. How immature is it of the media to perceive this guy -- it has to be because of Brokeback, right? I’ve known this dude forever. He’s one of my oldest friends, and it’s very weird that they have this -- it’s very immature and infantile the way they treat his whole situation. If him hanging out with his bros means he’s gay, it’s like further perpetuating that weird homophobia that exists in our culture, which is just stupid. So, yeah, he’s my buddy. I fuckin’ love the guy.
On Gaga:
Gaga is the perfect example because people are definitely saying things like, “changed the face of music” and “avant-garde.” And I love what she does. I love the fact that she exists. It’s almost like, finally there’s a pop star who brings a little bit more weight to it. She’s weird. She’s a weird chick. She does weird shit. She dresses weird. Her music is slightly off. That’s awesome. I think that’s great for pop music because it’s been so safe up to this point, and I like that she’s nude all the time and weird and awesome and cool. Madonna was that way too. I know she gets that comparison a lot, but it’s true. She was pushing the envelope back in the day. She was doing the same thing that Gaga’s doing to a large extent. She has her own spin on it. That’s fantastic. I love subverting the new generation of pop music and all these really safe Disney kids. But no, I’m not going to try to sound like that because that would be weird. That would be even weirder than Lady Gaga herself if we just all of a sudden got really strange -- because we’re not, that’s just not who we are. But she’s great, and there are very few things these days that are truly innovative and forward-thinking or at least different. Goddamn, everything’s just so generic. I like things that shake shit up.
