Clay Aiken: "I'm Gay"

Clay is gay: Aiken comes out of the closet
The Associated Press
It’s official, ladies and gentlemen. To the disappointment of Claymates across the country (and the unbridled enthusiasm of gay activists everywhere) American Idol runner-up, devoted dad and Spamalot star Clay Aiken has just announced that he is, in fact, a homosexual.

Or rather, he will announce it, in the next issue of People magazine, assuming Perez Hilton’s sneak peek of this week’s cover is to be believed.

And since we don’t put much stock in Perez’s Photoshopping skills — come on, the guy still uses Microsoft Paint! — we’re thinking Aiken really is ready join the legions of second-tier celebrities (Lance Bass! Neil Patrick Harris! David Hyde Pierce!) in confirming the worst-kept secret in showbiz.

So please join us in congratulating the proud papa on his wanton act of self-discovery, and celebrate his sexual awakening by enjoying the best (and only!) Clay Aiken songs the MTV archives has to offer: “Invisible” and “The Way.” Plus, as an extra special bonus, we invite you to check out our all-time favorite People “I’m Gay” cover: Albus Dumbledore’s same-sex shocker of 2007.

  • Feel comfortable with the possibility of starting an age-gap relationship in a community where people think just like you. Recapture some of your youth and try striking up a relationship, whether romantic or just friendship, with a yonger someone!...
