Adam Lambert was the first openly gay artist to have an album debut at the top of the US Billboard chart
HuffPost UK is turning Loud & Proud, celebrating gay culture in all its forms across the entertainment industry - remembering those pioneers who paved the way, celebrating the breadth of expression we have now, and asking - what is left to be done?
Adam Lambert is a ceiling-smasher in his own right, as the first openly gay musical artist to debut an album at the top of the US Billboard chart. Since 2009, when he came second on ‘American Idol’, he has sold more than two million albums, and been Grammy-nominated. He has also taken his place as Freddie Mercury’s most natural heir, playing alongside the remaining members of Queen on their worldwide tour since 2011.
What is the first gay cultural moment that you can remember?I remember seeing RuPaul on VH1, and being fascinated with this drag queen. I’d not seen one before. Also watching ‘Will and Grace’. I remember watching the show with my family, and we all laughed, which helped us a lot. It broke the ice and opened the way to their accepting me as their gay son.

Great article. Adam is a natural spokesperson for the LGBT community as long as people understand he's human like the rest of us.
Adam is a good spokesperson, comfortable and honest and unapologetic about his life. It's a shame that even now we have state legislators who support regressive laws based on fear and ignorance. We still have a long way to go.
Be that as it may
It's more than okay to be gay
You light up the day
Your little quirky ways
Possesing both male and female brain
Now that's something
The so-called straights
Can glean and gain
As they mostly think one way lwl!
Wow! this configuration of 4s...gone berserk! Let's see... 14 (4s)
