What many suspected has now been confirmed, by the actual source. American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert confirms he's gay in the newest issue of Rolling Stone magazine (www.rollingstone.com), thus marking the first time he's openly discussed his sexuality to fans and media.
Lambert and the nine other finalists of last season's popular TV show are scheduled to perform at the nearby Tacoma Dome on July 7. Seattle Gay News looks forward to bringing you coverage of Lambert's initial performance in the Seattle area - stay glued.

Hello,
I am from Providence, RI, and my organization of LGBTQ Southeast Asians is organizing a one-day caucus for LGBTQ Southeast Asian leaders from around the country, in Seattle, on August 14th.
We want to do outreach to LGBTQ individuals in Seattle, and let them know about this unique opportunity. Its actually the first time that LGBTQ Southeast Asians have ever had a national get-together.
Please let me know, and I can send you the information to forward.
Thank you!

What? A one-day conference to bring together LGBTQ Southeast Asian leaders to identify needs and issues, build new relationships, reflect on leadership, and plan a communications strategy to create a national network of Queer Southeast Asians.
Who? LGBTQ Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, Vietnamese and other leaders who identify as both LGBTQ and Southeast Asian.
When? Friday, August 14 (but we encourage people to stay for the whole NQAPIA conference that continues on until Sunday, August 16)
