Adam Lambert to be First Gay American Idol
Adam Lambert wears eyeliner and diamond stud earrings and has won a rare standing ovation from American Idol judge Simon Cowell. With just 3 weeks to go before the finale, the 27-year old is the number 1 pick to win the talent show and become, possibly, the first gay or bisexual singer to be named champion. Adam has neither confirmed nor denied his sexual preference or the speculations about being gay. When photos popped up of him kissing other men and dressed in dragged, he simply said “I have nothing to hide. I am who I am.” A professor at Syracuse University in New York has said “Some people are saying, wouldn’t it be amazing that in the same year that the first African-American president took office in the U.S., we also elected the first gay and/or bisexual ‘American Idol’. I don’t think that’s comparable. Rather than being surprised, I am thinking ‘Wow, have we really got this far without having one yet?’”
