I think it is a sick thing to do to a child-to bring a child into the world under these circumstances

He should have came out of the closet before he brought a baby into his life. It is too many confused children in the world now.

I don't think being gay has anything to do with raising a child. A child needs Love and Emotional Support from their parents unconditionaly. If a person can give that to their children than it shouldn't matter if
they are gay!

Wow as if the gay rumors weren't enough. The fag can't even go and actually have sex with the girl so he is gay. I don't give a damn how good he can sing, this whole baby crap just proves that he is gay.

- I thought this was about Clay being a father, not about his sexuality... And by the way, why do you care if he's gay or not? They both wanted a baby, is there something wrong with that? At least the baby is wanted and loved! I hope and believe they...
