American Idol star Adam Lambert says he is ‘very comfortable’ with his sexuality after revealing he is gay. The singer, who finished second to winner Kris Allen in Simon Cowell’s hit talent show broadcast on Fox, says he did not ‘think twice’ about being open about his preferences. "I am gay, and I'm very comfortable with it," 27-year-old Lambert told the 20/20 TV show.

There was some controversy near the end of the show when speculation was high as to if adam was gay and how that would affect the vote on American idol. Adam says he believes that was a bit humorous as he notes that he didn't hide his sexuality.

"'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in. “I've always been out. I just chose to avoid it. I didn't, I don't feel closeted. Everybody that I worked with knew about my personal life.” Lambert first revealed he was gay in a cover story for Rolling Stone magazine, weeks after the finale of American Idol.

“I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer – not on my private life," he said. “So I chose to kind of ignore the issue until after the voting ended.” Lambert has dismissed suggestion American Idol bosses pressured him to remain quiet on his sexuality. “They were 100 per cent supportive the entire time," he said.
