American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi has thrown a cat amongst the pigeons, letting slip what most of America already suspected, that Adam Lambert is gay.

“I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet],” she said on The View this morning.

“I think he was always openly out. I never thought he wasn’t.”

When asked by Barbara Walters if the rumors surrounding his sexuality may have influenced voters, Kara said, “Well, first of all, I hope not … because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Adam and winner Kris Allen] had that.”

Let’s just wait for Adam to make an official announcement on if he’s gay or not…like it’s any of our business anyway.
