Clay Reunites His Personal and Professional Lives

Clay Aiken isn't about to apologize for keeping his private life under wraps. The popular 'American Idol' runner-up publicly announced that he is gay two weeks ago - the revelation came as a surprise to few, as Aiken's fans and detractors have been speculating on his sexuality since the beginning of his singing career.
PEOPLE reports a post on clayonline.com written by Aiken himself, reading, "I would have preferred to separate my personal life from my professional life. But, living as myself without discussing my sexuality publicly would have been as impossible...I am not defined by my sexuality. It is, simply, a small facet of the same person I have always been. Nothing has changed." Currently, this post is not visible on Aiken's blog.
In a 2003 interview with 'Rolling Stone,' Aiken directly addressed the issue of his sexuality, saying he was neither gay, nor a womanizer. In the missing blog post, he explains, "When this guy started asking me about things that I didn't really know how to answer for myself, things that I was not yet ready to admit to folks like my mother and my family, things that I found intimidating and invasive, I responded in what I assumed was a benign way at the time."

hahahahha, its pathetic to read these ignorant responses to orientation, im gay and gay or straight has no bearing on what type of person one is. rather ones character and compassion and actions define them, so who are these ******** to say their opinion on someone they know nothing about other than they are gay, thanks highschool dropouts! learn to convey a point of view eloquently please. Im 6'1" 195 solid muscle and id love to see one of you ***** ass bigots step to me. id wreck!! Second of all my kids will not be influenced by my orientation, but by my paternal care for their well being, mental and physical. and they will know that they must always follow their own heart, we are all gods children and must utilize and our free will with the utmost love for our neighbor or enemy whoever it may be. Its takes a truly courageous man or woman to admit and accept their fears with understanding and love and morality.

Please choose your friends by their character, rather than one's sexual preference. You are missing so much in life when you fail to love unconditionally.Thrive in Love, Life, Truth, Peace, Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding.www.ucclove.org

Seriously people, who cares if he's gay. It's so OBVIOUS that he is. He didn't have to publish it to let people know he's gay! Too many pages have been devoted to this no talent guy. Let's move on!

I think it is unfortunate and non forward thinking to alienate one due to his/her sexual preference. To judge people on trival reasons i.e. race, gender, orientation etc. rather than on the contains of their hearts is demoralizing and just plain WRONG. One's sexual preference doesn't make him/her better or worse than the next person. Futhermore...only GOD can judge, so why do people constantly try to fill His shoes on Earth. A child, whether the product of a heterosexual union or homosexual union have equal chance to be GREAT or just plain ****** UP. Matterfact, MOST of the demented, twisted people i know are STRAIGHT. There are a lot of ****** up ppl in this world...and guess what...they have a mommy AND a daddy. so the ppl posting comment sprewing hate and ignorance all need to think about that.P.s. i am a straight person {that is unimportant. but i wanted ppl to know it isnt just homosexual people tired of the way they are judged)
