Gay Aiken: Who Knew? (The Rest of The World, Actually)

Gay Aiken: Who Knew? (The Rest of the World, Actually)

We interrupt this blog for a special breaking “Obvious News”:

Clay Aiken is a homosexual!

Thank you. This has been another edition of “Obvious News”. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming….

In a “shocking” news report yesterday season 2 American Idol runner up Clay Aiken admitted to the world his sexuality. Aiken who had recently just became a father via surrogate mother (his best friend) had made the decision to tell the world of his sexuality. Prior to become a parent, he was notorious for dodging the three word question that he felt would launch him into a category only few have manage to survive. He often met interviewers with head on aggression, saying that it was none of the world’s business; only his, God’s, and the people he loves.
But in and interview with People Magazine he said that he was compelled to tell the world the truth because he cannot raise a child where he would have to hide or lie about things (which in turn might make the child think that those things are okay. Reaction to this news is barely in its infancy. One fan even commented on his website saying that she was completely shocked to the point where she couldn’t function at work. Very few people have posted their opinions negatively. But this low and slow trend in negativity is good; give us an honest social deviant any day!
And although pretty much anyone with a gaydar knew about your sexuality, Mr. Aiken, I applaud you. You are one of the few who have set foot into the new social frontier of out (and proud) gay parenting. And although you will lose some fans, you will definitely pick up a large following that not only sees you as an artist, but an activist and a role model.

PS, I doubt your career will take a nose dive. Those things only happen to people whose news of their sexuality came out of the left field!

We salute you!
