”Idol” Adam Lambert: Singer not a gay civil rights leader
”I’m not consciously trying to change people’s moral opinions on anything. I really am trying to focus on the music. And if as an indirect result, (people) are more open to different types of lifestyles, then that’s awesome, I’m thrilled about that. But that’s not my goal.”
Adam Lambert, runner up in this year’s ”American Idol,” the televised contest for singers on the surprisingly amount of openness he’s received from fans in reaction to his being openly gay. Lambert was recently in DC as part of the Idol tour and says in this interview he strolled the streets of Georgetown incognito. (The Toronto Star)
