'I think it's nice to be a part of the force that helps people open their minds,' said the Queen singer during an appearance on U.K. TV.

Queen singer Lambert, 41, addressed the current climate when he made an appearance on U.K. TV show"There's different attitudes in different countries for sure," thealum told his interviewers."Right now, even in the U.S., you're seeing a strange sort of pushback... And it's probably in response to the fact that we're shining so brightly and so beautifully.

"For me, being a gay man in media has been a really interesting journey, one that I'm really grateful for," he said elsewhere in the interview."And I think that over the past decade or so, you've seen a big shift in acceptance and visibility and all these things. People understand it more now. They're less scared of it. I think it's nice to be a part of the force that helps people open their minds.

"I think Pride reminds people of that, that there is community, there is a big family," Lambert said."Some people are not fortunate enough to have their real families accept them for who they are. And so the thing that's so beautiful about Pride is it gives you the sense of an adopted family. And I think that that's something that we all really enjoy about this time of year, is the community.". After sharing the clip, he appeared at thelivestream telethon.
