'American Idol' runner-up Adam Lambert has given his first major interview in which he discusses his sexuality.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Lambert said: "I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay. I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me."

Lambert also revealed that he had a crush on the winner of this year's show, Kris Allen.

"He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type - except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100% straight."
