After spending many months coyly ducking the matter of his sexuality while he competed on American Idol this season and after AI judge Kara DioGuardi pretty much outed him in a recent interview, AI runner-up Adam Lambert bravely stepped out of the West Hollywood, CA club Guys & Dolls last night while holding his boyfriend Drake LaBry‘s hand for all the world to see:
I understand that the lovebirds did some shopping together at Kitson before their big night out. Adam apparently dropped some major $$$ on a Marc Jacobs blazer for Drake — sounds like lurve to me:
While something this benign should be a total non-issue, I think it’s great that Lambert is finally feeling free enough to be who he is without fear of reprisal from anyone else. I can absolutely understand why he (or anyone for that matter) would not want to openly discuss matters of sexuality while they are competing in front of a national audience for something as large as American Idol. But, if DioGuardi is to be believed, Adam wasn’t hiding anything at all behind the scenes on the show:
I’m just really happy to see the lad proudly being true to himself … and if a simple hand-hold is where it all begins, then so be it. Those jeans, on the other hand, are a might frightful and should be burned immediately. Sexuality be damned, I still take issue with some of Glambert‘s styling choices. OY!

Cute couple!
Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing. Those heinous jeans are the real breaking news story here. Gag!
@CB – what about the heinous “mandals”??? Other than that – totally cute couple!! Wish ‘em much happiness!!!!
Ahhh i love adam lambert no matter what his sexuality is. I still cant get over him getting robbed on americian idol, tracks of my tears was genius.
Awwwww! :)
He definitely should not be hiding that hot boyfriend of his – if only to make sure everyone knows he’s taken!!
@SuziLee – I can’t believe I missed those!!! FUG!
His jeans I didn’t notice them I was too busy wondering wtf is on his boyfriends feet D: omg those shoes are never ok never.
Clay Aiken went all bitchy at Adam last week so I just need to put it to Clay that this is how real queens do it, proud and not in the least bit bothered by what anyone has to say.
I don’t watch American Idol but “Team Adam” for fierceness.
Good looking couple. Seems they’ve been solid for a while. I’m happy for them and wish them the best.
Acid Wash went out with the 80′s
Im going to order my boyfriend a pair of stonewashed ‘glambert’ jeans and make him wear them.
Trent,
I am a little suprised that you didn’t even put former Vice President Dick Cheney’s most recent comments on Gay Marriage in your newsflash. For those who don’t know, he made a statement saying Freedom means freedom for all and that gays should be able to have any arrangement that they wish. I am glad he finally voiced his opinion about this. I am proud of my fellow republican today.
@anna — I actually just heard about his comments, just added a newslink to the story :)
what a handsome couple they are!!! Good for him for stepping out with his boyfriend, holding hands for all the world to see! Bravo! I love Adam and can’t wait to hear his album (whenever it arrives!)
His boyfriend is beautiful! They make a cute couple.
Hmm, his boyfriend kind of looks like Shia Lebouf in that last pic.
I am so glad he feels confident to be who he really is, it makes him such a BIG STAR to just be hisself fu*k anyone who doesn’t like it they can turn their heads!! You go Adam!! Cute boyfriend!
Adam sure has got himself a hottie.
Is his name Drake or Drew?
@joyfulJ — It’s Drake … dunno why I wrote Drew :( Sorry!! Fixed!!
Adam is extremely good looking!
