How could anyone not LOVE Adam Lambert. He's kind, sweet, loving, caring and so honest which is rare in our modern world. He's also a beautiful looking man with a beautiful heart. I couldn't love him more than I do after 8 years of going to his and Queen's concerts. His voice and stage performance is unmatched in today's world of mediocre singers.
I grew up in a very religious family and my dad was the church pastor. I was terrified of someone finding out I was gay. I was born with a blood disorder called Sickle cell and it causes very painful episodes that feel like glass shards running through your veins. Every time I got sick I thought it was god punishing me for being gay. I thought I deserved that pain eventhough I was only 7 or 8 and had not even kissed a guy yet. So I went through some really awful times in school & I thought it would never get better. But after I went off to college and started to find new friends my life improved in ways I never thought possible. I still have my ups and downs but I'm so happy I didn't give up. So my advice to young adults in very religious families, find a college far away from your family and live your life on your own terms.
I think that Freddie Mercury would be honored that Adam Lambert filled his shoes in his absence. Hes such a gem! I am a little angry about how attractive he is, though. Its otherworldly.
Never get tired of watching this. Adam is such a remarkable speaker. So honest, eloquent, well spoken, enchanting.
This is the 10th time am watching this
This filmed interview should be mandatory viewing in all middle and senior high schools. There is still too much fear and pain out there.
Search "Adam Lambert Is Anybody Listening" here on UA-cam. He is a master vocalist and proves he can sing ANY genre.
He can actually sing! But of course he's handsome as hell!
Is it possible to love him even more? What a TRUE man and role model for everyone......love you Adam ♥♥♥
After about 20 seconds I started crying the whole time.
Oh dearest Adam, it got better BUT its STILL going to get better. You're still underrated and unappreciated because of your sexuality. I STILL seen many people shame you because of that. Someday you are going to be one hell of a legend because you are simply THE BEST SINGER this generation has. No auto tune, no voice editing, no lame ass cheesy lyrics, no garbage. Pure talent, hard work and a gorgeous face and personality
Forget about "someday", let's just live life in the present. Right now, I see people shame him for different reasons: they think he's "illuminati" because they don't understand how the closet thing affected the initiation circles back in the day. People, the REAL Illuminati are the GOOD guys who knew the truth! and no-one cares about the fake ones. Wtf, stop promoting the immature version of Mankind... knowledge is our birth right. This conspiracy sh*t makes him want to escape by saying in interviews "There's no meaning" - which in turn shames people like me who actually are Thinkers like him! Yes, indeed, "it's just a pretty pattern" because he has no deeper heart connection with the person whom the pattern represents. They're essentially platonic... And because he hides nothing, "there's no hidden meaning" (this is a message for those who are still afraid). What he says, is personal to him. It doesn't imply we should be shaming other Thinkers who don't really care much about forging a "legendary status" for him. Believing in this legendary nonsense creates only illusions, because it comes from emotional baggage. True love is much, much more important. And he knows that, too.
Interesting comment. I would like to perhaps chat with you someday and go further into what you mean with your comment, 'cause I'm not sure I understand what you mean...
Giant talent, heavenly vocals, off-the-charts handsome, nice guy and one of the things I love best about him is he is such a great role model for young LGBTQ people who are struggling to find their way. Really, I think it's the biggest gift. Thanks, Adam!
I am a loner and I am not gay just excuses for who you are think you are Adam.
Adam is the sweetest person I know of. He is so open and honest with his feelings.
What a beautiful man... I love him so much, he's such an inspiration.
Lovely vid! I love this series. And omg, those school memories! :D So totally the same, me being really involved in class and exploring things in my head (I was even deeply into "Velvet Goldmine" later and wondering, "what's this all about?"). I love, love, love this totally nerdy stuff he's mentioning - being a nerd suggests a very deep passion underneath, which is incredibly sexy. People really need to understand that because they will be SO happy if they allow themselves to see past an image. I'm not gay, but I am psychic - which is definitely a form of queer. I'm Romanian, by the way. I always felt that beyond the Hollywood establishment was this "imaginary ideal American boy" (who looked exactly like this) who often took me on learning trips. Showing me this or that scene in a movie. As it turns out we watched the same shows, so hmmm.... also, in Romania the ancient guides on such paths were called "Wolves" for being outsiders.
"Dad, I'm gay."
"Yeah, yeah. We know." hahaha made my day :D
Adam, you're such an inspiration to me and the others, I love you so much. You have a wonderful heart and that's why I adore you. #glambert #till #the #end
a heart of gold.
I love you Adam Lambert. Your soul is huge and pure and you’re teaching us 50 +generation how to accept and how to parent our kids and just be good people. Youre open and bubbly. And sometimes dark. You are real. Love you. Your music. Your voice. Your art. Your soul. Rooting for you always. Love you with Queen. Keep learning and amercing yourself in life. We will watch in awe at the wonderful you you are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️May all your dreams come true.
His Mom thought he might be gay before this, She went to talk to someone about how to handle it, they told her to wait until he tells you. On the way back from this program she asked him, if he would like to have a girlfriend, he said no, thn asked him if he would like to have a boyfriend, he said maybe and then the ice was broken. I have a 22 year old granddaughter who i think possibly is gay. I won;t say anything to her until she is comfortable coming out, if she is gay. It is the persons choice about when they want to come out. I love her and no matter what happens that will not change.
How could 19 people watch this wonderful testimony and give it a thumbs down? What a crazy world.
I never used to think I cared what people thought of me. I came out a year ago just to my family and they've been great.After verbalizing that I was gay, I realized how much I did care what people thought. All the repression from my past started to bubble up and I've been dealing with it since. Over the past few months I've begun to care less and less what people think of me and I love it. It really does get better and the key is to know yourself and your worth. If you value and respect yourself then others will too eventually. It's all about confidence.
Somebody once told me (when I was having a hard time with haters) that 'what other people think of you is none of your business'.
Makes things so much easier to remember that sometimes.
What a lovely, open, honest and articulate man.
He opened my eyes to what children face as they discover they're a little different from many classmates. I never thought about that aspect, that it would happen so young and the fears that would arise. In a different interview he shared that coming out to yourself is the hardest of all. Sad for those whose families scorn and reject their children. It's tragic.
Adam's parents were open, liberal, progressive... and yet he was still afraid. I can't even imagine what goes through children's minds if they come from a family that is not accepting. What I give his parents credit for is trying different activities when he was young and not pushing anything on him, to let him find himself and a place where he felt included and welcomed.
sadly my mom rejected my bisexuality it's been years since I came out to her and she says bi phobic things and makes a big deal out of me wearing my LGBTQ pins or clothing and isn't okay with me dating other women/girls too bad because I am bi/queer and more into the girls lmao. thank goodness I have friends and other family who accept me if she doesn't come around. chosen families are so important for young LGBTQ people
A tear is rolling down my cheek.Adam is such an inspiration.I couldn't be more proud for him.He's confident and honest.Just a beautiful human being
Oh yes, I had a tear as well. My opinion of him, which was already high, just jumped into the stratosphere. This gay man has so much respect for him. Thank you, Adam.
Thank you Adam Lambert on behalf of all the kids out there struggling with the same issue.
"You've got to let it go! That's the thing that's in your way." Well-said statement about self-acceptance. While I'm not gay, I'm a single mother in the state of Utah where unwed mothers are taboo. The constant people always trying to set me up with so-and-so's brother, or saying, "I know a single dad," threw me so headlong into wanting to escape I'm practically a recluse. I think it's time to straighten up and simply say that I'm perfectly happy being a single mom. I can always have friends.
We all have our individual soul mate, who can make it appear like we're essentially nuns. Not everyone spends their life together, but the link is always there. We know deep inside that when it comes to having someone balance us out, things are pretty specific and not run-of-the-mill so-and-so's brother. That's why, if you've already had a child or children, you can just tell everyone you've "done your part". The rest is private and as said, because of this link which is always there, the children are much happier with a happy mom (rather than a mom who's trying to make it work with a friend, who will then most likely become an enemy...).
But surely looking at it that way can hurt some people in MJ's position too.
Not everybody who's a single parent is so because they met their soul mate, and lost them somehow.
Some people are single parents because they did something of which they didn't realise the consequences (got knocked up to use old fashioned parlance (and I'm in Britain, and was the result of a teenage mother so sorry if it's still a horrifying phrase to anybody).
Stuff happens, and it's not always perfect, but you can be happy. I have friends who are single - some parents, some not, some because they've lost people for whatever reason, others because they never found them.
Society just needs to accept that there are as many different ways to live as there are people, and we're all valid.
MJ - I hope it's a bit easier for you now!
Getting together with a dude just so you can both be non-single is a ridiculous reason to get into a relationship and doomed to failure. What silly people you’re surrounded by. Be yourself, be single if that’s your thing, do you!
Ok please put Adam in a Lexus commercial. It's important. :)

When did he become this hot?
He is handsome as hell
I have mad respect for adam lambert!!! He is 100% brave and right. When he was asked if he was gay...he owned it and told the truth and the public accepted it. There was no scandal.
It infuriates me that gutless men like Ricky Martin and Anderson Cooper (yes! i said it!) both denied being gay for years like it was something shameful. even though Blind Freddie could see they were gay. And it makes the public suspicious of gay people like: "Is he or isnt it"? And it became more of a scandal when they finally did come out...because they vehemently denied it for years.
Honesty is the best policy!
I still remember when he was on American Idol, someone from my own city!! I was amazed. I've loved his music and singing since the first day I heard him. I remember at 13 that I realized I was not like other boys too--I can totally relate.
his voice is so beautiful and he raises me up
I love adam so much! Not just because of his 100% pure heavenly looks, but his 100% warm hearted personality. Why can't everyone have such a kind heart like adam?! Look at this people, this is truly what the world needs to listen to.
Heavenly looks, heavenly insane talent and a kind heart ❤️ how can one human have all that? I hold so much admiration and respect to this man.
Adam, you are an inspiration. This video should be widely publicized.
From the first day I saw you on AI, I knew you were going to make it big. You've far exceeded everyone's expectations.
You're a great role model for success and confidence for ALL children, no matter their gender identity, or sexual preference.
Your parents should be so proud.
Shalom...
Adam is the sweetest person I know.He is so honest with his feelings.Just an wonderful human being
I couldn't agree more! He will always have my support! Not only is he a wonderful human being, but also an incredible artist who deserves so much more recognition!
+Michael Mayer well said :)
When Adam didn't win American Idol, I stopped watching the show.
cristina solano
They were so unfair to him.
I stop watching American idol to when he didnt win.
Cristina, I think Adam should have won also, jmo, I think he was the best singer/performer that year. BUT - look where he is now, what doors opened for him. Doors that may not have opened had he been the winner and tied to a year of AI travel etc, he's doing awesome, appears 100% happy with his life - many of the winners of these shows are nowhere now - one major exception - Kelly Clarkston an probably Adam would have been that other exception, but they say one door closes and another opens and, hell, many opened for Adam - was meant to be and he has an awesome career and life, he doesn't appear to hold any regrets about not winning - ya winning would have been awesome, but just look where he is now !!!! Other than Kelly, and I've heard Scott McCreary's name pop up here and there, I don't think any of the winners really got a career from the idol. So I think Adam has done a damn Great job with his career and talent for being the runner up JMHO
He is one of the reasons i get up every morring and fight my depression. He is also one of the reasons I don't give tow fux about what people think of me for being pansexual.
Adam: dad I'm gay
Dad: I know
What an inspiration. I would share this video with anyone who is struggling with their own identity and the things that make them unique.
Yeah, with me then! I have his exact brain, but I'm a girl. Must be the Romanian in us. So I'm into cute small guys, but unfortunately many of them are not allowed to be like that, everyone makes fun of them because they're supposedly not "masculine" enough. This in turn messes with my attraction because mentally I'm drawn to confident guys - but if you're constantly made fun of, it takes its toll. Totally crappy society we live in. I think that a person should be masculine/feminine as much as they want, because it's essentially a private thing to do with a relationship. (It's not the Army or the Party who needs to appreciate you, it's your Love...)
So glad he has good parents...love should never change when a kid comes out to parents.
Thank you for sharing your story, Adam... this is one of the things I admire about you. Through your music, you gave me the strength to finally come out as bisexual.
Parents should want the best for their kids, anything less is selfish.
This is the most relatable coming out I've ever seen. I never thought I would have so much in common with Adam Lambert.
Man I'm crying cause my parents will never understand things about being different
One of my favourite people on earth! Thank God for Adam!
Wonderful Adam! The same Comming out story like my son and me . I asked him the question because I wanted to know finally whether he's gay . He was 16 years old and he has not dared to say but I felt it for two years that it is so. He told me what he has done for a fight against it, and he began secretly to scratch. Terrible! But now I know it and it was perfectly fine for me. I love my son more than anything!!!
He has amazing parents.....and am sure that helped him be all that he could be....
By just watching this video I have gotten so much respect for him!
I just love him unconditionally
Thank you Adam for just being YOU. Loving and accepting WHO you are and living a life in TRUTH and HONESTY is something that anybody can look up to and try to emulate. GLAMBERT 4 EVER!
i can't possibly love him more, NOW💕
As a religious person I would never ever disown or scold my children if they are homosexual. Why? Well because they didn't choose to be. Also many people have sadly misinterpreted a part of the bible which lead to many believing it goes against God's teachings. This story along with Simon Curtis past makes these two singers such great people and inspirations💖
Well, in the Bible there are many things against gays
Beautiful..i can listen to him talk for days and daya
Adam has always been so inspiring. This is such classy production.
Everyone should watch this video. Not just gay people but everyone. It's wonderful!
This had me in tears. Adam is a truly beautiful soul. I'm having emotional problem over the week but this video just help me feel relief. Each and every interview of him keeps helping me to be a better person 💙
OMG thank you Adam. I'm crying
thanks. he is so strong. Thanks Leila and Eber.
How the hell can anyone be so damn hot??
Adamazing!!! How could you not be a fan. I certainly am a proud Glambert
Oh, I am easily not a fan because I consider myself of the real Family. I am Romanian so things are wired differently for me. Back in the day, I thought I was a Queen Fan, but I soon realized my experiences and feelings regarding them were derived from something else entirely. I don't know. maybe others can also learn this about themselves. It's important to know oneself and know energy. Fandom just seems to be about wasting energy in the wrong directions. It doesn't necessarily help the artist, either. For example Elvis had so many fans - did they help him be happy? Arr, see, it's a problem. Luckily, Adam's not "Elvis" no matter how attractive the parallel might be to some... they really need to think about what they're saying. In "We Will Rock You", Elvis and others are mentioned as those who tried to break through to the other side, but FAILED. Ya want that here? I don't think so...
But you don't actually know him, so you are basically just another fan.
(Not that I'm not.)
gawd, i could watch adam the whole day..
he's so beautiful
Just finished watching this great interview with Adam Lambert. He is so honest and open about his life style and you can either accept it or not as long as he is happy and living his dream performing music that's all should matter. He is a great role model and a beautiful person with a big heart.
Omg he's the sweetest 😱😍
i admire him, for all he had to go through and all his hard work... and still remains humble, what a guy
and i completely understand what he means... im not gay but i am different in some way and I too refuse to do certain things because people usually do them, and because it is considered the right thing to do at same point in your life
i refuse to have a spouse, to have kids, im a soloist in eevrything, and that´s how im gonna live for the rest of my life - alone, because im one of those people who are happy on their own
Svetlana Andrášová - SAME! 💕 I was born this way, as well, and have NEVER made apologies for it because being authentically myself has literally only ever brought me joy (and fortunately has never harmed anyone, either). Trying out other people’s practices and ideologies just never did it for me.
Blessed are we who have always known the person we were meant to be(come).
Such a wonderful role model So so happy for your success. Looking forward to your next hit! Give this singer his Grammy already.
While watching this i started to cry. I respect him so much!
Knowing his music & finding myself. Now I know a taste of being not "Normal". Struggle still real when ppl was educated & brought up very conservative. At least I end my fake marriage . Not living under a line & being able to wake up every morning & be myself even Im alone
Adam I love you darling! God broke the mold after he made you! I'm so glad you're in my world Adam! Thank you for having the courage to follow your dream! You make me so happy!
I'm crying!!! Haven't seen this before. What an inspiration. Having struggled with some things my whole life, this is just... wow
how the hell could i miss this? seriously
Wow!Adam is really an Inspiration. I wish there would be more People like him having the balls to be like they are.Thank you very much Adam for being so open and giving others the Courage, who find themselves in a same Position.You are great. God bless you Dear!
Such a lovely and beautiful story, it's so wonderful that you have such lovely parents, and that they are so cool 😊👍🏻❤️ They really have raised such a sweet guy, you're amazing 😘❤️ I can just look on and listen to you every hour, every day ❤️ I met you in Denmark on April 25, at your concert in Falconer, and you're so amazing and such a sweet guy, you have such a lovely aura around you, and i got dragged in and i just wished that this moment standing there with you, could last forever, but sadly it couldn't 😭 And i actually cried several days after the concert was over, cause i didn't want it tobe over, i wanted to experience standing with you again and be at your concert again 😳❤️ And i really hope i get the privilege to meet you again some day 🙏🏻❤️😘
Thank you for this heartfelt video & for giving Adam the opportunity to give such hope & inspiration to those that feel beaten down. He is a real man that's proud to be himself & didn't give anyone the power to diminish him or his dreams.He values himself & others, something for ALL human beings to remember. I hope one day there will be no more labels. We can all just be....
Omg this is so inspiring. He's my idol for sure, i wish my parents will be like that when i tell them...
I really hope so. Good luck for whenever you decide to!
I hope it all turned out to be okay for you too...
You never cease to admire me, Adam.
He is such an amazing beautiful human being, ILHSM!!

What a heartwarming video. His story took me through an emotional roller coaster with a happy ending. Adam you are such a beautiful and talented soul. Thank you for sharing and helping others that may find themselves in similar situations.
He look so different from American Idol, I didn't recognize him... glad to see he's doing well
I love and admire him more. And I think his parents should be an example for others families to give support to their gays children.
I love him and I love this video! He was an inspiration to me before coming out and continues to inspire me since coming out. Amazing man, phenomenal performer and a true role model 😍 So proud to be a Glambert!
This just shows me how amazing adam is and it makes me love him even more!!!
