"I loved watching Adam Lambert on American Idol. I kept thinking, I’m so proud of all the gays that put
themselves out there because they don’t get a huge amount of encouragement when they’re young. Adam
Lambert, he sits up there knowing what people say about him on the blogosphere, knowing that people love
him, knowing that lots of other people have completely the opposite feeling about him, and he just belts out a
song. That takes guts. Those other two finalists got to pick their nose and fart and do whatever straight guys do.
Adam’s leading a whole other, more complex life, and he deserves a huge amount of respect for being
courageous and being creative and not being daunted."
