Of course the pun was intended, though very poorly executed. In case anybody forgot, "gay" is synonymous to "happy" and yes, this is another coming out story! It is going to be a shocker, I tell you. Hold on to your seat so you don't fall out...American Idol runner-up of the second season, Clay Aiken, has finally said it: "Yes, I'm Gay". The People magazine cover is the proof. He shares the cover picture with his beautiful son, born on August 8th, 2008, "conceived via medical intervention with his 50-year-old 'best friend,'" according to Yahoo! news. I don't get it either.
There has always been speculation over Aiken's sexuality and Aiken said he felt quieted by his largely female fan base, afraid he would lose his support. However, his new baby boy was his inspiration to come out, because he doesn't want to raise a child "to lie or to hide things". How wonderful!
LGBT visibility in Hollywood is so valuable to the movement and it's grand that more and more people are coming out, especially people that are famous. Clay Aiken has become a great icon in the community because not only is he openly homosexual for all the world to see, he is also a gay parent. Good job, good job, Clay!

My conclusions:
- Give Clay and his kid a fruit basket.
- So what was that song "Invisible" really about?
- First Lindsay and Samantha come out, now Clay! The world's guessed their sexuality before they came out with it, so I think that the next person will be... Richard Simmons. I mean, seriously. Those shorts gave away a lot more than what he had down there. *cringe*
- The Pride parade better be big this year.
