Hollywood Popular Artists

Glamberts all over the world have broken in out celebration this week! Adam Lambert's second album "Trespassing" debuted last week and has skyrocketed up the charts to #1 in that time. Even more exciting -- he's the first openly gay artist to top the charts!

Not only is Adam insanely talented, but he is setting such a great example by showing fans that others' not-so-accepting views of his sexuality won't stop him from flaunting his talents on a world stage.

Adam is the seventh "American Idol" finalist to reach #1, and the first openly gay artist...ever. This is a big moment for music history, I think! Other gay artists have hit #1 -- like Elton John and George Michael -- but while they kept their sexuality tucked away from the public.

Recently MTV Act had a chance to catch up to him to chat about the progress of LGBT rights. Adam explains, "The LGBT community is close to my heart. I am one of the community, and I'm really happy to see the progress we all are making as a nation." Watch Adam Lambert's full interview on LGBT rights, and join in on the celebration but taking action below!
