Gay American Idol contestant gay Adam Lambert, who's always been gay, has come out to "Rolling Stone" magazine to announce, yes, he's gay.

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," the American Idol runner-up said. "I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me."

Only, not so much. The singer would not come out of that closet while still on the show, and avoided all questions about his sexuality. He addressed this little controdiction by basically stating that America is not so fond of someone being an out-and-about fairy.

"I was worried that [coming out] would be so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing," Lambert said. "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."

If you are Kelly Clarkson and you just won Idol for the first time, then you can be amazed that people want to dig into your personal life as soon as you become famous. If you are Adam Lambert, the 42nd second-place-winner, and still amazed, then you're an idiot. Seriously dude, you knew what you signed up for. Now, either go off and make a record or bang a dude, America would be happy to obsessively talk about either.
