 The long-awaited and ultimately anti-climactic quote that finally puts to rest the speculation over the "American Idol" runner-up's sexuality will appear in the issue of Rolling Stone that will hit newsstands this week.
“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” Lambert says in the magazine.
“I’m proud of my sexuality,” Lambert adds. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me."
According to Us Weekly, Lambert goes on to say that he didn't want to come out during the show because it would have overshadowed the reason he was there in the first place. He did say that "Idol" producers gave him the freedom to handle it however he wanted, but he thought it would have been over-sensationalized at the time.
"I’m trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader,” he says in the Rolling Stone interview. "I'm an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing. It shouldn't matter. Except it does. It's really confusing."
Adam talks about his mansion roommate and eventually "Idol" winner Kris Allen, recalling his reaction when the rooms were assigned.
"I was like, `Oh, (bleep), they put me with the cute guy,'" Lambert says. "Distracting! He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight."
You'll get your chance to ask Adam about this and the rest of his experience on "Idol" next week, when he visits Comcast.net for a 30-minute live chat as part of our string of chats with the "Idol" Top 10 that continues today with Scott MacIntyre at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.
*** Click here to comment! What do you think? Does this change your perception of Adam? Are you glad he came out?
