Is American Idol’s Adam Lambert Gay?

Adam Lambert gave a stunning performance of "Mad World" tonight on American Idol that resulted in Simon giving him a standing ovation. Unfortunately, the live show ran more than 5 minutes over on the East Coast.

Which means a lot of people who recorded it missed seeing it and wound up screaming at their TV.

American Idol contestant Adam Lambert sang for his spot in the final 12 tonight, and the internet lit up with people asking a simple question: Is Adam Lambert Gay?

We could argue that in a modern age, Lambert’s sexuality really doesn’t matter, but there is a simply answer.

Adam Lambert is gay. Is there really any question?

If he isn’t gay, then he’s doing a damn fine impersonation of being an extremely camp gay person, but the evidence for the question is quite clear.
