Adam Lambert on Out Magazine Controversy: "Not Every Gay Man Is The Same Gay Man"

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has finally spoken out on the controversy concerning him and his recent cover on Out magazine--well, to be more exact, about the allegations from the magazine's editor, Aaron Hicklin, that Adam and his management had many conditions surrounding the cover shoot.

To backtrack a bit, Adam was included in the magazine's Out 100 list, honoring the most successful gay people today. He was named, in fact, as Breakout Honoree of the Year by the magazine. But Hicklin later posted an open letter on the magazine's website, complaining that the management had qualms about putting Adam on the cover of the magazine. "Apparently, Out was too gay, even for you," he wrote. He then alleged that Adam's management would not let the singer do the cover unless a straight woman is included, and that the singer wouldn't look "too gay". He also claimed that Adam refused offers from the magazine to appear on its cover while American Idol was still underway.
