Singer Adam Lambert has stated that he
is voting for President Barack Obama.
The 30-year-old Lambert tweeted his
endorsement of the president to his 1.7 million followers on Friday.
After messaging a link to Lena Dunham's
“first time” video in support of Obama's re-election, he added:
“In case I hadn't been direct, I am voting for OBAMA.”

Dunham says her first time was with a candidate who supports gay
marriage.)
“Hot issues 4 me in election r
Marriage Equality and a Woman's right to choose. I wish these social
issues were nonpartisan, but they aren't. I just don't understand
how folks would vote for a candidate and administration who's stance
on Human rights is so twisted and dated. And by ignoring these
issues, we are indirectly promoting ignorance and discrimination,”
he said.
Lambert, who is openly gay, has become
increasingly vocal about the marriage issue. At a concert to benefit
Marylanders for Marriage Equality last month, he
told the crowd that marriage equality was a human rights issue.
