“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” Adam Lambert says in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Correct. The magazine hits newsstands this week, but if you just can’t wait, here are some more tidbits from the article, including the fact that a drug-fueled incident at Burning Man led Lambert to audition for American Idol.
The flamboyant Idol singer hits our cover and bares all, talking about his childhood (”I started to realize I wasn’t like every other boy,” he says), the drug-fueled Burning Man epiphany that led him to AI (”I realized that we all have our own power, and that whatever I wanted to do, I had to make happen,” he tells RS) and his run on the show (”I was like, ‘I’m going to glue rhinestones on my eyelids, bitch!’ “). And yes, he talks about his sexuality. “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,’ ” he tells us. “I didn’t want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context.
“I’m proud of my sexuality,” Lambert adds. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.”

Duh. But still, props Adam. I’m glad you set yourself apart from Clay Aiken (who looks like a female dyke, by the way), in both looks, style, and your suave demeanor. Love you!
