Singer Adam Lambert has said being gay
is made hard by ignorant people.
The 30-year-old Lambert has said his
track Outlaws of Love, which is included in his upcoming album
Trespassing, is a look at the discrimination the gay community
faces.
Speaking to VH1's TheFABLife,
Lambert expanded on the track's meaning.
“I think one of the things about
doing this as a career is that I'm able to give people strength and
encouragement that feel like outsiders, especially being openly gay,”
Lambert said. “But one of the things I haven't gotten to do is
sing about how it sucks sometimes, how it hurts, and the pain and the
struggle that the LGBT community goes through on so many different
levels. And that's what this song is about.”
“It's really a very honest reflection
of the sadness. And it's not the sadness about being gay, it's the
sadness about the adversity we face. That's the difference. I don't
find being gay sad at all. I'm really happy. I think that's another
ignorant misconception. 'Oh, it's a really hard life.' It's only
hard because of the ignorant people.”
