Clay Aiken Comes Out

Posted by Brett Singer

Clay Aiken: This isn't an act, I'm really gay.It's official – Clay Aiken is a gay dad.

In news that surprises absolutely no one, the AP is reporting that yes, Virginia (or is that Mary?) Clay Aiken is a gay man. Claymates everywhere are in tears.

The story highlights from CNN?

·  "American Idol" runner-up and infant son are on new People cover
·  "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things," Aiken says
·  Aiken made his debut on Broadway in "Spamalot"

So. The first two, OK. On the cover of People, interesting (especially since it was previously reported that no one wanted that picture because it was too "creepy"). Can't lie while raising a child, yes, right, newsworthy quote. And…he was on Broadway. This is relevant because…?

UPDATE: Famecrawler has the People Mag cover which features the headline, "Yes, I'm Gay." Pulitzer material, methinks.

He sings very well.  He must have been a nice and kind enough person to the baby's Mother for her to choose, yes choose, him to be the Father.

He has had pressure put on him for years and years.  

Would anyone want someone chasing them around...hounding them to find out their personal business ????

I think NOT !!!!

I wish Clay, Jaymes and their new son a very, very happy and long life as a "family".

God Bless you.
