Wow, that was shocking. I never would have guessed. This is the biggest surprise since Liberace. Middle America must be beside itself with people whispering in diners, "If Clay can be gay, it can happen to anyone."
Congratulations, Mr. Aiken! All kidding aside, we love you at this page. Welcome out!

Congrats to Clay. I was especially touched by his reason for doing so; that he wanted to raise his child with honesty and respect.

Yep, that's a damn good reason.
I don't think this will ultimately hurt his career, his popular music is generally secular. But he did make a big deal about being a Jesus worshiper... There's going to be fallout from Christians, and a lot of hate mail.
I'm not really a fan, but those of you who are out there should maybe send him some kind words to offset the likely bigoted response he'll be getting from the Christian right.

Yes, it's nice to see him doing the right thing for himself. Such is evidence of a healthy self-esteem. Personally, it would be over my dead body that I'd hide who I was just so I could get crumbs of phony approval from the tables of religious fanatics. I am happy for this man.

Hit timing is good. I am all for people rising in their respective careers staying closeted until they have amassed a large and growing fortune, and then at the right time coming out. We as gays are well served having the wealth move to our side. Wealth gays can promote our cause in ways that regular folk can't. Not to say the regular folk don't do a lot, they do plenty, but wealth has it's privileges and influence in the upper circles of society.

I'm glad he is out of the closet and I do like his singing. Now that he has a child, it's good that he defines some values for that child.

It's about time.
Sadly some are already clamoring about how he "can't" be both gay and Christian. Funny how we never see them claiming one can't be both divorced and Christian, or an adulterer and Christian, etc. Just one more way they prove their campaign has nothing to do with Biblical values and everything to do with intolerance.

Not to mention hyposcrisy, buffy. Christian Rightists are very good when it comes to being hypocrites.
They want to know why so few gays are Christians? Because you really can't be gay and Christian. What self-respecting LGBT wants to wait for whatever crumbs these jerks deign to throw our way?
I'm glad Clay is out of the closet. i wish him all the best.

SO ETHAN,
what about:
The so-called “Pulpit Initiative” (earlier MnIndy post) was launched by the Alliance Defense, an offshoot of James (Focus on the Family) Dobson’s evangelical empire. As the Arizona-based organization’s website explains, this coming Sunday, September 28, is the target date for the effort. When IRS complaints ensue, ADF’s strategy is then to take individual cases to court in an attempt to overturn the IRS rule.
the other side presented by ADL:
“Ministers and pastors, in their personal capacity, already have every right to support or oppose candidates for public office,” said Abraham H. Foxman, national director for ADL. “They can speak out on political issues, and promote voter participation and voter education initiatives. But politicizing churches coerces congregants, distorts the political system and poses a serious threat to religious liberty.” http://minnesotaindependent.com/10536/dobson-bred-pulpit-initiative-to-flout-irs-ban-on-church-political-endorsements-seems-to-be-failing
SO,again Ethan, you gonna share a little more about yourself?

Ethan, do you swear to the risen Christ that you have never posted as AJ or Theo? If you can't answer this question, as there is ample evidence that you have, you should be kicked off this blog.

Ethan will you state, as god is your witness that you have never posted as AJ or Theo? If you can't answer this question, as there is ample evidence that you have, you should be kicked off this site. The way this question is framed you don't have to "swear".

GOOGLE co-founder Sergey Brin is noted for making Prop 8 in California an 'eguality issue'
"However, while there are many objections to this proposition -- further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text -- it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 -- we should not eliminate anyone's fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love."

IS THAT ANDERSON COOPER Behind Sergey? Looks like a FABULOUS party.

Aiken's got an awesome voice and is very talented. Hope the oncoming slaughter from those who oppose gays will make Clay an even stronger individual.
