Singer Adam Lambert says he's happy to
be out because he doesn't want to have any regrets in 20 years.
Lambert will headline Pride
in the Street Festival, which takes place Saturday in downtown
Pittsburgh.
Speaking
to NewsRadio 1020 KDKA, Lambert was asked whether his gay rights
activism puts his career at “risk.”
“Do you view it as a risk? Do you
view it as something you have to do?” host Joe DeStio asked.
“In some cases, there are parts of it
that might work against me,” Lambert answered. “I figure in 15
years from now, 20 years from now, I don't want to look back with any
regrets. You know, I want to do what I want to do. And ultimately
that integrity is the thing that I think is more important than the
immediate like sales or, you know, measurable success.”
“And I also feel like, you know,
between you and I, it's kind of a little bit fun to kind of rile
people up,” he added with a laugh.
