" Mary Lambert: for when you just can&amp;#x27;t make that therapy appointment Just over a year ago, Mary Lambert was a bartender in Seattle. These days the 26-year-old&amp;#x27;s r&amp;amp;eacute;sum&amp;amp;eacute; is bursting: She melted our hearts on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis&amp;#x27; &amp;quot;Same Love,&amp;quot; played wedding singer to 33 couples at this year&amp;#x27;s Grammy Awards, and is prepared to release her debut album, Heart on My Sleeve, out this fall (most appropriate title ever, by the way). Lambert&amp;#x27;s on top of the world, but the woman still has her liquor license...ya know, just in case. She&amp;#x27;s real like that. And so is her music and her mission: GLAMOUR: You announced your sexuality to the world on &amp;quot;Same Love.&amp;quot; What was that like? MARY LAMBERT: As a lesbian in this industry, I&amp;#x27;ve been instantly embraced. I came out when I was 17&amp;amp;mdash;coming out in middle or high school is one of the most difficult things that anyone could experience. I wouldn&amp;#x27;t wish it on my enemies. GLAMOUR: Your mother is gay too. Did that make it all any easier? ML: My mom wasn&amp;#x27;t happy when I told her. She was terrified that I was going to get killed. But I put myself in her position and thought, Yeah, I&amp;#x27;d be scared [for my daughter] too. When you&amp;#x27;re 17 in the suburbs and know only three gay people, holding hands with your girlfriend is a proclamation. GLAMOUR: Your fearlessness has made you a role model. Do you think that the way we view pop stars is changing? ML: Definitely. Adele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole &amp;quot;Screw you, I&amp;#x27;m awesome for what I do&amp;quot; attitude, which I really look up to and want to be a part of. GLAMOUR: Speaking of stars, we can&amp;#x27;t wait for your album! ML: I&amp;#x27;m so excited for this record. It&amp;#x27;s very much who I am. There are love songs and heartbreak songs. There&amp;#x27;s even a song about domestic violence, which many people in my life have experienced. It&amp;#x27;s one of those quiet killers that&amp;#x27;s swept under the rug. But why not talk about it in pop music? GLAMOUR: We couldn&amp;#x27;t agree more. Now let&amp;#x27;s take it back for a second: What bartending tricks do you have for us? ML: I&amp;#x27;m going to be a little braggart here. I make an amazing Old Fashioned. I use chocolate bitters, smoked orange, and frozen brandied cherries. I still have my liquor license, so I can make you a cocktail! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
