June 8, 2009 by Jeanne
Adam Lambert, this year’s runner-up on American Idol, attended the Young Hollywood Awards last night and I think he looked great in his own unique way.

He was presented with the “Young Hollywood Artist of the Year” prize by Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi. She recently talked about his sexuality on The View and he was asked if was upset by her basically “outing” him on national television.
“No,” he said. “I mean their asking the same questions everyone else is asking and Kara was just being honest, she’s a good friend of mine now that we’ve recorded together and I don’t think she did anything wrong.”
He revealed that when he appears on the cover of Rolling Stone, that interview will contain some more details about his personal life: “With the Rolling Stone cover I am going to be talking about a lot of things that people have had questions about so…I think that will be nice I think we can move forward and we’ll all look forward to the album together… At this point its such a honor that people want to know about me.”
What about the guy he was spotted holding hands with the other night? “Ill take the fifth on that one.”
Judging from the picture (see below), it looks like Adam is happy to me so I think he will either confirm that he’s gay in that Rolling Stone article or, at the very least, is bisexual. I try not to comment too much on the sexual preferences of people but he was talking about it so I feel like it’s okay.
Good for him for not being mad at Kara. I think everyone in America already pretty much knew, I know I did. It doesn’t really matter. He is amazingly talented. I think not winning Idol was the best thing for him, because he is going to go off to bigger and better thing.
The news here is that a FANTASTICALLY TALENTED and wonderfully kind, compassionate, respectful, humble, GRACIOUS young man accomplished winning this award.
Why is it that the articles printed on this ACCOMPLISHMENT are either headlined and title with a reference to his sexuality, or make a brief one liner about the accomplishment and then focus on his sexuality??????????
This is crazy. The story is the young man’s OUTSTANDING talent and his beautiful qualitys!!!!!!!
Is anyone ever going to focus on THIS???????
Please, enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love Adam. He moves and inspiringly touches our hearts and souls. Write about that!!!!!!!!!
Adam, congrats. I don’t care about your sexual preferences but I can’t wait for the album! I really hope you include some slower, “ballad style” songs on it, as I think that is one of your strengths. How about a bonus track of “Mad World”?? That would be awesome.
