Adam-lambert-gay "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi is definitely not one of those 'speculating' about Adam Lambert's sexuality.

She says he's gay.

"I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]," she tells Barbara Walters in a taped interview airing Friday on ABC's The View. "I think he was always openly out."

Walters asked if Lambert -- who has never publicly said he's gay -- "was always openly out."

"I think he was," DioGuardi replies. "I mean, from what I've seen ... I do. I never thought he wasn't."

Did Lambert's sexuality influence the votes? "Well, first of all, I hope not ... because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Lambert and winner Kris Allen] had that."


Lambert -- who has been on websites dressed in drag -- has 'skirted' sexuality questions.  But there are widespread rumors that he may announced he's gay in an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone.

"Maybe," is all he will say on that rumor.

More Adam Lambert Dish:

Adam Lambert the victim of an AT&T voting fix?

Is Adam Lambert gay, straight or bi? And why do we care?

Clay Aiken says Adam Lambert made his ears 'bleed."

Clay Aiken apologizes to Adam Lambert. Seriously.

Lady Gaga talks about liking boys and girls. Lucky for everyone!

Again, why is Adam orientation is relevant? He is not wearing a tainted Idol crown, so why can we leave it alone? We don't want anybody keep digging of Adam's sexuality . We DO NOT CARE. It is not a HOT topic to be discussed. Is NON of Anybody's business what goes on behind close door. You don't ask the President Obama how is his sex life do U? Or if he does have time for that.

So.. for all of you want to know Adam's Orientation... if you are a Male and you have a so called "Wood Pecker".... I am pretty sure Adam does too.

I hope Adam's just simply say... it's all about music and nothing else. Adam We don't care and we Don't want to know. Ignore the Ignorant here in America. Just make a Great HIT songs... and put yourself out there get Awards and be Proud of Who you are. Beat the odds, and make the impossible Dream come true for your sakes and all the Kids out there that look up after you.! Way to Go Adam... Be yourself stay Gracious... Luv ya to pieces.. keep your private no need to broadcast to Anyone...is non of anybody's business but YOU alone. Go Adam.. U Rock!!!!

You were so much better than Kris.. sorry but you were... Show them all how to do it now cutie.. and be your self.. you the best... Love you.. Susie


I really don't care if you're Gay. You are an awesome singer and I believe you will hit it big. I voted for you for hours. I expected you to win. I believe you were cheated out of the crown. No worries you will be a huge hit. I can't wait to purchase your albums.


Wait a damn minute here...ADAM'S GAY!! Oh lordy Adam's got "the gay" i'ma tell my knittin' circle right now!


Who Cares???????????????? He is a Fabulous singer !!!!


I don't even remember the songs or the splash made by the winner. I do remember Ring of Fire and the insanely superior voice of Lambert. He was cheated by a homophobic American public. Period. Do I spend time lamenting this No. But as a gay man I know the scales are tipped ALWAYS.
