Adam Lambert: From “American Idol” to LGBT Hero



Clay Aiken isn’t the only openly gay “Idol” contestant to make the big time, however. It seems like it was just last season when Adam Lambert was belting it out on “Idol,” but the spiky-haired, guyliner-wearing pop-rock singer placed second on the show’s eighth season back in 2009. Unapologetically gay yet never acknowledging it openly on camera, Lambert was consistently lauded by judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson. Viewers would end up voting for the more mainstream (and straight) Kris Allen as the season’s winner. Post-”Idol,” both men have released two albums, and though Allen has the title as an “Idol” winner, Lambert has sold more than 600,000 albums than has Allen.

Lambert’s biggest hit came in late 2009 with “Whataya Want From Me,” peaking at No. 10 on Billboard. One of his most interesting recent efforts, however, is on Swedish EDM musician Avicii’s debut True.

Lambert isn’t merely focused on belting out powerful notes like Freddie Mercury – he’s also been a strong advocate for the LGBT community. He’s said in interviews that because he is a visible celebrity, he feels like he should bring to light the injustices faced by LGBT people.

The singer released a remix of his song “Aftermath” to Billboard and donated portions of the proceeds to the Trevor Project, which aims to end bullying and suicide among LGBT youth. Lambert has raised more than $43,000 for the organization and on a separate occasion raised funds for a number of LGBT groups like GLSEN, It Gets Better Project, GLAAD, the Gay-Straight Alliance and the Human Rights Campaign. The singer has also worked with the It Gets Better Project and has narrated a PSA about bullying.
For his efforts, Lambert received a GLAAD Media Award nomination in 2010 for Outstanding Music Artist. He’s won several awards for being an advocate, like the Equality Idol Award from the Equality California Los Angeles Equality Awards in 2011, and he was honored the same year at a PFLAG National Los Angeles ceremony.

Lambert’s LGBT activism continues still: this summer he headlined the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival, and in May he won the GLAAD Davidson/Valentini Award for his significant contributions to promoting LGBT rights. He’s received other honors and awards throughout the year, and his pronounced support for the community has paid off: June 15 was declared “Adam Lambert Day” in Pittsburgh after he headlined the city’s “Pride in the Street” concert.

This is how I feel sometimes when people say really stupid stuff.
