      as if?!!
      well, good thing he came out but it was like "what you see is what you get". theres no sense in denying, maybe he just wants people to talk about him
      anyway, good luck daddy. you make your son proud.
      cheers!

      When I heard about this on MTV Canada's Aftershow tonight I was shocked! … not shocked that he was gay but shocked that after all these years he came out of that fucking closet!! I dont know who he was trying to fool! Too funny!



    3. 203

      ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!



    4. 204

      205

      Ummm was anybody surprised? I'm only surprised he took this long to come out.



    6. 206

      Did you just hear that thud…that was the sound of all the Claymates' jaws hitting the floor. Good for Clay. I'm glad he finally feels comfortable enough to share this news w/ the world. Hopefully it'll positively affect other young people struggling w/ the same issue.



    8. 208

      I KNEW IT!!!!!!
      wow people obviously. that baby looks constipated and cute and the same time.



    9. 209

      Don't hate on the baby; but Clay, IT'S ABOUT TIME!



    10. 210

      ABOUT TIME!



    11. 211

      pleaze, clay, go back in the closet. we don't need you making us look worse. i've seen the transcripts of you on manhunt (which of course you denied), and you are disgusting and vile. what a fucking wanker.



    12. 212

      that is a CUTE baby!



    13. 213

      Wasn't shocked at all.



    14. 214

      Good for him. I have a lot more respect for him now. Anyone who is honest and upfront about who he is and does not lie, I respect. I wish him the best with his new family and hope that because he is truthful he finds a sense of calm.

      From a straight kid - I respect you a lot more today, than I did yesterday!



    15. 215

      Not like we didn't already know, but I find it admirable he took this step towards sincerity to give his son a good example. Hope he feels lighter now.



    16. 216

      i laughed incredibly loud when i scrolled down and saw this.

      i knew gaykin would come out eventually



    17. 217

      Yawn



    18. 218

      It's about time.



    19. 219

      OMG! I'm so in shock right now…JK. We already knew. This is not cover worthy. HAHA!



    20. 220

      NO FUCKING WAY!!!!! THAT GUY WAS STRAIGHTER THEN A GRIZZLIES DICK!



    21. 221

      its about time!!!! good for him



    22. 222

      Lindsay and Clay admit… Next you're gonna tell us the Pope is Catholic



    23. 223

      omg the news that shocked the world!!!!!!

      or not.



    24. 224

      Re: tiger69357 – I am pretty sure that Keanu is openly bisexual…



    25. 225

      Why oh why is this news, who the fuck really cares!!!
      Aren't there more important things to worry about in this world than who does who behind closed doors. Come on people



    26. 226

      Now when will Ryan Seacrest finnally come out?



    27. 227

      Good for him! I have so much respect for him!



    28. 228

      Good for him….I wouldn't begin to wonder how hard it would be to come out in Hollywood…Good for everyone that does… :)



    29. 229

      Amazing! I can't believe that little baby is gay!! They come out sooo early these days.



    30. 230

      AWWWW!! Sweet baby! Welcome, wubbins. Congrats to Clay.



    31. 231

      This news got main page and the plane with Travis and that other guy got a little block on the front page??



    32. 232

      This is soo funny. I knew he was gay from a few degrees of separation with another American Idol contestant. But sworn to secrecy, said nothing. I'm glad he just decided to do this even though I know what his issues were originally. Next Ricky martin will have to come out, and yet again another first hand situaton where I know he's gay. And yes I live in South Florida…



    33. 233

      About GD time!! I'm happy for him.



    34. 234

      cute kid



    35. 235

      wayyyyyyyyyy too much makeup



    36. 236

      Finally!!



    37. 237

      Cute baby !



    38. 238

      I knew Clay in Raleigh, NC before he was on Idol, and he was pretty much sneaking around for boys then. It seemed like he was more worried about his mother's reaction than anything else. She's this big Baptist Churh supporter, like one of the biggest in the state, and he was terrified of being disowned by her if she found out. I'm sure she doesn't care now that he's paid off her mortgage and has all this money. I'm glad he finally came out, but I wish he would have done it sooner. I also knew the guy who outed Clay in the Enquirer, and Clay just sat back and did nothing while his crazy Claymate fanbase went out of their way to try to destroy several peoples' lives that were involved, some indirectly, in that scandal. I wonder how they like Clay now.



    39. 239

      .
      .
      surprise surprise…
      .
      Hey… why is he holding an olsen?



    40. 240

      Good for him!!! Finally!!! I mean we all knew but i'm so happy for him that he is comfortable enough with himself to say it. Congrats Clay!

    41. Lidia says – reply to this


      241

      I am soooo suprised.
      NOT!!! come on, its about time!!!!!



    42. 242

      Never saw that one coming! LOL!!!



    43. 243

      OMG Noooooooooooooooooo



    44. 244

      UMMM….Hello! Is there anyone out there who thought otherwise!



    45. 245

      We all pretty much knew



    46. 246

      I might have respect for him if he hadn't been saying things like, "either you're a womanizer or you've got to be gay. Since I’m neither one of those, people are completely concerned about me".

      Why not just say nothing? (and really - is anyone surprised??)



    47. 247

      Finally! woohoo now my 2 fav. queens can get together!! wink wink Perez!



    48. 248

      thank god he finally admit that he is gay coz it is so obvious



    49. 249

      Did he get the title of his song wrong. It's 'Invincible' Clay, not 'Invisible'. I really hope he didn't expect this to be the shocker of the year!!!



    50. 250

      Good for him. I think it takes a lot of courage for people in the public's eye to come out. I wish good things for him and the new baby. Now if only Michael Jackson would come out. =P You are allowed to be pissed off by that comment.



    51. 251

      Lying about it to the press might have tainted this, but good for him.



    52. 252

      WHY DOES CPS TAKE CHILDREN AWAY FROM "SOME" FAMILIES,SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE POOR BUT NOT FROM A RICH PERSON LIKE CLAY AKIEN WHOSE MENTALLY UNSTABLE.I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GAY PEOPLE HAVING CHILDREN.CLAY ONLY DID IT FOR THIS "COMING OUT THE CLOSET" PUBLICITY STUNT.



    53. 253

      clay aiken admitting he's gay would be like george bush admitting he's an idiot…we all know it already, we just want to hear it from the horse's mouth



    54. 254

      Good for him,im sure its hard coming from an uneducated southern baptist upbringing filled with hate. Its also hard when you are in the public eye,you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. So im glad he finally felt comfortable with coming out. And for the fucks in here who always say no one cares,they are the ones who really care,because anyone who knows anyone gay knows how much people hate gay people and care alot.



    55. 255

      Like we REALLY didn't see that coming!



    56. 256

      Finally, damn. I was getting so frustrated at how hard he was trying to seem heterosexual.

      I still can't stand his ass though. He can't sing that well and by no means in the world is he attractive.



    57. 257

      Everyone needs to come out, so that it isn't an issue any longer . . . Imagine - years from now the term "out" won't even exist. One can only hope . . . Get some clitorises and balls people.



    58. 258

      WTF! HE HAD A KID! BUT HES GAY?!

    59. wrog says – reply to this


      259

      Like fucking DUUHHHH!!!!!

      Kathy Griffin must be SOOOOOO enjoying this moment.



    60. 260

      ’bout dang time dude lol… wtg



    61. 261

      He didn't have to come out of the closet, as there isn't a closet in the world big enough to hide all the Clay Gay!



    62. 262

      WHAT YOU MEAN HIS GAY



    63. 263

      Congratulations Gayken!!



    64. 264

      thats only like 4 years overdue



    65. 265

      Thank you Captain Obvious!!! I am glad he is coming out and will raise his son honestly and open. The baby is cute - I bet he will grow up to be some big burly straight football player! Or just a regular guy - I can just see"The Birdcage" being acted out in the Aiken household in about 25 years!

    66. D-Bag says – reply to this


      266

      At least he has class unlike Lindsay and her girl/boyfriend. Way to go Clay!



    67. 267

      It was the worst kept secret everywhere. My grandma even knew and she thinks everyone is straight. ;)



    68. 268

      GOOD FOR YOU CLAY….BUT REALLY….THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE TO US!



    69. 269

      I'm very glad this finally came out. I've never been a Clay fan, mostly because I hate his music, but another reason was because he was obviously gay and denied it. We live in an shitty world that is very hard on different people, but you know-stand up for yourself and come out..you'll only be loved more for being proud of your sexuality. I think it's wonderful he's setting a good example for his son. Eff people that leave him because of his lifestyle. He has a family now, and family comes first.

      GOOD FOR YOU CLAY! We already knew anyway!



    70. 270

      Was anyone surprised honestly? It's about time.



    71. 271

      That baby look scared



    72. 272

      OK. WE ALL KNEW THAT…
      IT'S ABOUT TIME!



    73. 273

      i feel like this wasn't even needed



    74. 274

      Re: Melissa is always right

    80. 280
