Neil G. Giuliano, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), issued this statement today regarding Adam Lambert coming out in Rolling Stone magazine:

"As more and more Americans get to know gay and lesbian people, it has a tremendous impact in terms of creating awareness, understanding and acceptance of our community. American Idol has become iconic in our culture, and as Adam continues to share his story during his post-Idol career, we hope his decision to live openly and honestly inspires gay people and opens the hearts and minds of his fans and others he will continue to entertain."
