Hey guys, be sure to tune into Friday’s edition of The View if you want the inside scoop on a slice of celebrity dish that’s sure to be hot on the blogosphere this weekend.
On an episode of morning gabfest airing this Friday, American Idol Kara DioGuardi reveals that she has never been confused about the homosexuality of Idol runner up Adam Lambert.
In fact, Kara tells the ladies of The View that there’s no way Lambert isn’t gayer than Pottery Barn on a Saturday morning.
How you doin’?
According to ABC News, Barbara Walters asked the Idol judge if she felt Adam’s perceived homosexuality had a negative impact on Idol voters.
To which Kara replied: “Well, first of all, I hope not … because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Lambert and Allen] had that.”
“Either way,” she said, “I don’t think that Adam [Lambert] was ever in [the closet],” she continued. “I think he was always openly out.”
When Babs asked again if Kara thinks Adam “was always openly out,” she replied, “I think he was. I mean from what I’ve seen … I do. I never thought he wasn’t.”
Lambert, a 27-year-old musical theater aficionado from California, has never confirmed speculation that he is gay.

The true is that people are reluctant to ask Adam directly, because they KNOW it is a very intrusive question about his PERSONAL life! He is hardly being coy and he is not hiding anything at all… He’s lived as an openly gay man for, like, a decade. He is not being Clay Aiken, he open and comfortably uses his guyliner, face products, glitter, nail polish, his glamorous costumes (Zodiac Show), and he has never made any attempt to hide or deny the photos of him making out with other guys, or dressing in drag, or the videos of him performing in drag shows, etc… any people interested can easily google him and it is all over the internet. Besides, does anybody have a single doubt he is openly and flamboyantly gay? His mere appearance is his ‘confession’. It is so fckin´ obvious… if he makes an announcement it will just look stupid!
Also, his brother spoke freely about his gayness months ago: “Listen, ladies: ADAM IS GAY. You need to stop asking him to be your boyfriend because that doesn’t really compute for him. All is not lost! We’re brothers and I’m straight. It’s practically the same thing. I think the choice is clear, so, you know where to find me (the internet).
Just because he is now an even more public figure doesn’t mean he is suddenly back in some fckin´ closet. It’s not as if he’s ever hidden anything; he’s been pretty transparent! I don’t know why the media doesn’t seem to understand that you don’t need to scream out (by the way, screaming isn´t a problem for him, lol) the words to make it clear that you are gay, and Adam has definitely made it clear. I think Adam is out and damn proud about it. Why does he need to have the words plastered over some magazine for them to make money off of? They need to get off his back already. He’s gay and he isn’t hiding it. And why should it matter if he were to publicly proclaim his sexuality or not?
Why people have this giant urge to push gay people out of the closet? Even when they are NOT there?
Intentionally or not, Adam is making public mockery of the media’s obsession with identifying, labeling and categorising human beings amidst completely irrelevant context. His sexuality has never applied to the competition or his career, and yet people are focusing on it. His refusal to indulge them is calling attention to how backwards America is in terms of ‘the novelty of homosexuality’. He is brilliantly proving the point that sexual orientation shouldn’t be an issue. He is letting the media stew, and asking us to again, think out of the box. Why should it matter?
By not making a big deal out of it, he is doing the gay community more justice. The question is: do you want to be defined by your sexuality? What Adam is doing is making sure that people know that he succeeded on his own merits and not because of some perceived ‘specialness’ of being a gay contestant.
