To no one’s surprise, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert reveals in a new Rolling Stone interview that he’s gay. “I’m proud of my sexuality,” said the 27-year-old singer, whose soaring voice and flamboyant personal style made him the center of attention in this season’s competition. Lambert said he decided to compete on the show after taking “certain funguses” at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, and that he was attracted to married first-place winner Kris Allen, whom he called “totally my type,” except that he’s “100 percent straight.”
