Adam Lambert: 'I want to exist in an entertainment community that doesn't care about sexuality'

Vocal sensation Adam Lambert has revealed that he hopes the entertainment industry eventually arrives at a point where sexuality doesn't have to be a talking point and the focus goes back to the talent. 

Speaking to the Huffington Post, the 'Trespassing' hitmaker explained that people should be paying attention to the voice of the musician rather than their sexual orientation:

"I want to be able to exist in an entertainment community that doesn’t care one way or the other what your sexuality is. We’re seeing the results of all the work that we’ve done, and it’s very exciting.”

Lambert, who is currently fronting iconic rock outfit Queen, went onto add that while Freddie Mercury never came out in the public eye, people should still consider him to be something of a pioneer because of how he presented himself and behaved:

“Freddie might not have been out, but he certainly was an original. He was bold, he was risky, he got onstage and did whatever the f**k he wanted, and had a very cool approach to being an individual.”
