Is Adam Lambert hurting gay America?


Gawker's Richard Lawson thinks that 'American Idol' runner-up Adam Lambert's coyness regarding his sexuality is hurting gay America. Or, if not actually hurting gay America, then at least coming off as "lame".

What do you think?

We're in kind of strange times for public figures with regards to coming out.

A lot of famous people have come out with no negative reaction or impact on their careers: Wanda Sykes, Suze Orman, Neil Patrick Harris.

But there are still a lot of famous people generally regarded to be gay who, for one reason or another, have not come out: Queen Latifah, Anderson Cooper.

Adam Lambert's kind of a unique case though because with all the photos of him making out with guys and such I can't imagine there are people out there who perceive him as anything but gay.

Does he owe it to anybody to confirm or deny?

Does anybody think there's a possibility he's straight?
