After coming out of the closet…even though no one ever shut him in there Clay Aiken reveals how he told his mother 4 years ago that he was a gay boy.  Clay stated to People magazine:

“She started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting,” “She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she’s come a long way.”

He also states that his fans maybe shocked about him being gay stating:

“Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it’s going to be a lot,” “know that I’ve never intended to lie to anybody at all. … But if they leave, I don’t want them to leave hating me.”

His mom didn’t know till four years ago…seriously?  I mean this guy just has the face and voice of a gay guy, drawn out sss’s and all.

So to those who didn’t know this already Clay Aiken is gay; People got the exclusive interview where Gay Aiken comes out of the closet for whatever reason. Aiken states to People magazine:

“Yes, I’m gay,”
“I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”

Why they would even cover this story is beyond me, laziness I suppose “hey bob I need a cover story”, “Just throw some gay guy on it, that crap always sells”. Aiken just did it for the money…poor bastard.

“I want to apologize to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I’ll sort myself out,” “And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them.”

He’s just sorry he got caught, that or he was looking to get caught who knows, who cares.  I guess crying your gay doesn’t get you enough attention these days, drugs and rehab is the new in.
