American Idol's "glamboyant" runner-up, Adam Lambert, takes the cover of Rolling Stone and officially comes 'out'saying, “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay." “I’m proud of my sexuality,” Lambert adds. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.”
Under the covers, Lambert talks about his childhood - saying ”I started to realize I wasn’t like every other boy," his "psychedelic experience" at Burning Man that led him to American Idol, how his sexuality impacted his Idol run, and his true thoughts on winner Kris Allen.
Lambert also shares his reasons for coming 'out' in Rolling Stone saying, “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.’ “I didn’t want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context.
The magazine hits newsstands tomorrow, but you can get a sneak a peak HERE, including an exclusive behind-the-scenes video from his RS photo shoot.
