We had a bit of fun of Clay Aiken‘s expense earlier this week. First, we reposted some incriminating Manhunt pictures courtesy that scamp, Perez Hilton. Loads of people came to his defense, offering the preposterous excuse that they had been photoshopped to discredit Aiken’s mythical masculinity.
In an effort to discredit their conspiracy theories, we offered some press pictures of Clay wearing the same rings as the man in Manhunt pictures. Pretty damning evidence, right? Not according to the so-called Claymates and the big man himself, Clay Aiken.
A reader sent us a message Aiken posted for members of his fan club in which takes a surprisingly aggressive stance against the muckrakers:
It seems over the past few weeks, the tabloids and gossip mongers have had their hands full coming up with new and exciting “scandals” for me to be a part of. Yet, for all of their efforts to be on the “cutting edge” and the forefront of bull$#@& journalism, it seems that some of them may be running out of ideas and resorting to recycling and re-hashing some of their older tall tales. How sad!?
Sad, indeed. Our tears are flowing more freely than our sexuality.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
To combat folk like us, Aiken’s urged his fearless soldiers to concoct their own scandal:
Come up with the most outlandish story you can that places me (either alone or with others close to me) in a really juicy/tawdry/scandalous/shameful story.
Then, use any photos, videos, audio clips of me that you can find along with your favorite multimedia enhancing/”doctoring” program (like a PhotoShop or a sound/video editor) to create your “evidence”!
Clever Clay – now you can do anything and say it’s just your fans doing your bidding, rather than you looking to do some butting. You’re smarter than you look.
Dive into that there jump, read Aiken’s entire message and take him up on his offer. We look forward to a story involving Aiken, a Latvian nun, a marmot and loads of peanut butter, cum and possibly some piss play.

c
you're still at it? it figures...
Like I said, you’re so suffocated into the idea that Clay may be gay that you buy those fabricated and fake stories and create them yourselves. Those stories were all made by OBSESSORS like you to make it SEEM SO REAL. It even sounds ludicrous to believe them anyway, but you’re so suffocated like I said. Claymate911 blogger was right about you. So this is what I have to say to you now: thought u should all know, you can continue your unhealthy, psychotic obsessive way.
i’m done arguing with you dead beats, better term. this doesn’t mean that i have given up, this just means that i have better things to do unlike you who will still continuously obsess over clay aiken more than a claymate EVER will, oh and continuously stalk Clay the Mike Meyers (halloween h2o) way as well. If I check this board a year later, you dead beats will STILL probably be debating it, well not debating it, but still at the same stage that you are now, that is IF Clay still hasn’t said anything. And if he has said anything, you can bet the Clay-haters will continue with the homophobic remarks. That’s how sad you dead beats are.
reading your same boring gay jokes, same pro-gayken haters comments over and over, and aruging with you because of the same things bores the hell out of me more than my long rant bores you. i don’t even know why i still do it, but now i’ve decided to let you continue your unhealthy, PSYCHOTIC obsession with clay. and you can bet that it does put me to sleep and that you’re more boring than i am.
and no, i ‘m not listening to what you have to say about the claymates, just like you won’t listen to what clay has to say ABOUT HIMSELF. it’s been proven over and over again about how homophobic the CLAY-HATERS ARE. look around you, there has not been ONE decent Clay-hater, well scratch that, maybe just one, but not more than one who hasn’t made a homophobic remark continuously.
P.S. you should check out the link I posted before: http://claymate911.blogspot.com
They’re talkin about you. If you have the time to read my long rant, then you have the time to read that.
Interpret this any way you like, even ignore this, but I have spoken, just like Clay. I guarantee that you Clay-haters think I’m giving up, but I’m saying this now that I’m not.
Good day and have a nice life, if you’ve got one-which you’ve already proven that you don’t have since you’ll still be continuously stalking Clay.
GIVE IT UP YOU PSYCHOTIC OBSESSED FREAK, AND CHECK INTO A MENTAL PSYCH WARD BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED. I definitely don’t need to go, but you have proven yourself over and over that YOU need to.
Clay’s never gonna throw the towel in to you homophobic scum bags with the cum rags.
werdna
Wait, who’s got the psychotic obsession?
to werdna
Oh, it’s definitely the Clay-haters. We just respond to these Clay-haters idiocy because they truly don’t have any lives. That’s why they have to make up these fake and fabricated stories to make themselves feel better. They keep telling themselves over and over that clay is gay, but reality is this, as of now, he has NOT admitted to being gay. I’m sorry, but you guys are the obsessed ones if you have to continuously create gay sex stories to make it look like Clay is gay. We don’t have to make up hetero stories because we believe Clay, unlike you.
werdna
Whew, I’m out of breath just from reading that!
to werdna
Well thanks for at least even reading the whole thing if you did. I have to make a point. I mean, people are so into Clay’s sexuality that they’ll read anything about it, I mean, about him being gay, whether it’s long or not. So I have to re-tally with one just as long.
puzzled
Why the obsession with anyone’s sexual preference?
Alexa
See? I said he wasn’t stupid.
BTW the second perez webcam post, despite what perez said last night, was definitely faked. It wasn’t even a good fake. It was done by a Claymate trying to show how easy it would have been to fake the first one and the one from last year. Unfortunately it was so obviously fake she was busted – the pic was wrong, her IM transcript was ridiculous, and when someone googled the IM names she used they traced back to Claymates.
So unfortunately by trying to prove how easy it was to fake and failing, she made it more apparent the other ones were real. Dumbass.
because
It’s obvious that perez and this guy want to get the hook up with clay but clay will turn down both of their herpes infested dicks because he’s not gay so they have to create these stories into brainwashing the entire world thinking that clay’s gay. it even seems strange that clay would talk to john paulus for six months, but they’ll do ANYTHING, even create a ludicrous hotel meeting which never took place with camera shots and angles and everything. you should check out clay’s imdb board, this idiot who is just as obsessed that i have been arguing with had the nerve to use the john paulus hotel scandal on me.
reading about it in the national enquireror, just seems too stupid to believe, but the ones who are obsessed with the idea of clay being gay will believe “ANY PROOF,” regardless if it is out-of-the-world or not.
they are obsessed with clay because they wish they had his life, so now they are trying to ruin him.
j.mack
Um….Wow. I really couldn’t give a crap about Clay but after reading all these comments I feel obligated to say something. I can PERSONALLY vouch for the fact that Clay is gay. I have chatted with him on Manhunt and Connexion and via email. He showed me himself via webcam and asked me to come over to his hotel room. I didn’t go because he’s not attractive to me. However a good friend of mine invited Clay over to his house and spent a couple hours with him. I have no reason to fabricate this story and I’m sure those who deny it’s truth will continue to deny. More importantly all of you haters are spewing like being gay is a bad thing and something to be defended against. You are the reason Clay has not come out publicly.
j.mack is right
“More importantly all of you haters are spewing like being gay is a bad thing and something to be defended against. You are the reason Clay has not come out publicly.”
Jmack, is totally right. If Clay is gay, YOU HATERS are the reason why he’s not coming out, and don’t give us it’s because of his fans who are homophobes bullshit, you’ve proven over and over that you are the true homophobes by continuously obsessing over clay and his “not coming out”
whatsmyname
Alexa. Those were all real. Try and keep up, sweetie.
Sam
No hon, Alexa is right, the last one was proved to be a fake, created by some dumbell claymate. It probably gave Clay the idea for his contest. It is actually possible, you know, for one to be a fake and the others to be real, which was her point, I think.
notbuyingit
j.mack , and your point is?
DLUSA
I have a question. You said a reader sent you what Aiken posted on his official message board. Now I doubt that reader is a Aiken fan and I do believe you have to pay a membership fee to be a member of a fan club. Any fan club. Are you telling me Queerty and its own “fearless soldiers” are so obsessed with Aiken that you all are paying a membership fee to stalk his fan club website? Excuse me Queerty but “incriminating proof and damning evidence” is called DNA and even that didn’t convict OJ in a jury of his peers. Sorry, metal rings that can be bought anywhere are not proof and smacks of a pathological obsession with Clay . I have a metallic ring and I am putting it on my thumb. Does that mean I am Aiken now? Sorry J. Mack, proof isn’t your “personal vouch” either. You lost any credibility when you said you could give a crap about Aiken but here you are posting. I think instead Queerty has their “soldiers” posting comments to support their own theories.
to notbuyingit
and YOUR point is? The more you continue making homophobic remarks, you know the reason why Clay is not coming out soon. I don’t see any Claymate who thinks that Clay is gay pro-gayken bash like you.
Don’t post if you have an IQ of 0.
To those who hysterically keep on saying that he needs to come out, you know the reason why. You’re just avoiding it.
not about Claymates
for the millionth and one time, it’s not about the Claymates accepting him for being gay, it’s about the Clay haters/dead beats/preachers of the pro-gayken bashers community who day in and day out, hound clay to “come out already”
keep it up obsessed homophobes
go ahead, drive clay deeper and deeper into the closet with your homophobic remarks, gay jokes, and posts since you constantly INSIST that Clay is gay. you’ll never get what you wish for at this rate. create all the gay sex scandals you want. anyone with common sense and a brain will know that it’s not real. but i’m guessing not that many people have common sense and a brain, so your just S.O.L. bitches.
correction
sorry, i meant *you’re not your. “You’re just S.O.L. bitches.” but anyway. continue on. it’s so funny how you hound clay about how he needs to come out yet you don’t see what you type that makes him STAY in the closet.
mr. magoo
jesus christ hes gayer than the day is long, its just too bad hes gotta go about it behind closed doors and via the internet, casue its just gonna come back and bite him in the ass, or shall i say stick him in the ass.
to mr. magoo
you’re exactly what i’m talking about. go ahead and make fun of him all you want but he’s not coming out.
BlogBlightBuster
BLOGBLIGHT ALERT!
This blog is infested with blogblight: n. Lies, half-truths, distortions and insinuations perpetuated mindlessly by bloggers publishing misinformation, photos or video from each others blogs, or the tabloids, with no thought to the veracity, authenticity or libelous nature of the content.
The bloggers range from professional journalists (who should know better) down to the celebrity gossip hacks. Similar blight occurs in the other news media (tabloids) as well, but is more pervasive on the internet because of the anonymity accorded many of those who perpetuate it.
Blogblight undermines one of the basic values of the internet, information sharing. Rather than seeing legitimate and accurate information, internet users see blogblight instead.
There’s also a lot of just plain DUMBNESS here, too.
pffft
So what if he’s gay??? Why does he have to do your bidding? It’s his life, he can stay in the closet or come out or troll on manhunt if he wants. You act like he’s doing something wrong and yet you all do it, you know you do, you get on there every night and web camming each other, so who are you to be pointing a finger at him and slamming him.
Stay strong, Clay, and don’t let these asshats get to ya. Live your life on your terms.
roger
I can’t feel sorry for him after this blog. It’s not cute it’s pathetic. Grow the fuck up, Clay. Be a man and be honest.
Martini-boy
I’m not sure if there is any record of this or not, but I was wondering what Clay Aiken thinks about homosexuality in general (and I guess in relation to heterosexuality, too). I mean, *assuming* that he is a straight fellow, with gay men going at him from all angles, he must have SOMETHING to say about it.
Woul a Claymate like to clarify this for me?
Peeha
I don’t know if Clay is gay or not and personally do not care. I just know that he is not stupid. He is not gonna be posting his picture on manhunt or any other gay site. And you buttwipes are stupid too if you think any Clay fan is gonna believe that he would. There are plenty of other men who are celebrities that are rumored to be gay and you don’t go after them like you have Clay Aiken. I would just be interested to know why. If it is because of his fanatical fans – all this is just backfiring on you.
where's it gonna get ya clay-haters?
what i don’t understand is where is it gonna get you clay haters if you keep making fun of clay the way you do? nothing gets accomplished except for people reading the same boring pro-gayken bashers comments over and over again, and i don’t find that an accomplishment. the more you make fun of clay aiken, the more you will drive him deeper and deeper into the closet.
pffft
Clay is open minded, generous and is accepting of all persons regardless of their race, religion, politics or sexual preferences. He is a loving, caring person who doesn’t deserve the crap that’s been flung at him for over 4 years now. I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything to any of you though because you’re so obsessed with trashing him at every opportunity and in any way you can.
Kamasutra Jones
Two words:
Mary, please!
to no. 28
who ya talking to? pffft is 100% right. they continue to trash clay because it is so OBVIOUS that they are jealous of him. that is why they spend 24-7 stalking clay aiken to get any beef out of him. it’s the truth. and i’m not gonna listen to what you clay haters have to say otherwise, just like you don’t listen to clay and you continuously harass him, all day every day.
confused
Why else would these haters/pro-gayken preachers follow him? unless it really is true that they wanna hate clay the “Mike Meyers Halloween H2O” way. and that is just sick to wish death on someone who is very kind-hearted to everyone. but he receives the biggest pile of shit back for doing kind things. that really doesn’t make sense. it honestly doesn’t. these maniacs make clay out to be evil, but in reality, the clay-haters/stalkers/preachers of the pro-gayken bashers cult are the true evil.
freddy
Clay’s gay. Get over it.
JustMe
Well he certainly gave us something different to talk about didn’t he?
LOL LOL LOL LO)L LOL LOL LOL
He’s brillant!!
Looks like his fans will be flooding the internet and trashoids with lots of garbage to read. I can hear him now,”well if its trash they love to read then let’s really give them some trash. Bombard them with it. Make them sick of reading about it. Flood their senses with it”.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
I think I like this man.
Carol
To j.mack No. 9: Nice try, DirectorSandy. Or is it Un4gitible? Which one of you tinfoil bitches is spreding the filth today?
So predictable. Yawn.
You're an idiot
Since when does a ring mean a picture is not photoshopped!
There must be a million pictures of Clay on the internet, you idiots just take your picks.
Times are changing and people are changing Mr. A whole writer. You could actually be looking at a lawsuit one of these days, yourself.
BTW, studies show that paper tabloid publications are second only to internet tabloids in telling outright lies!!
We don’t believe you, manure spreading IDIOT!!!
My fondest wish is that you reap what you’ve sown.
Funlover indeed!!
Jeffrey
We are sick of it already. We already know he’s gay and a joke. Since his oh so transparent closet is an oddidity of the likes of the “emperor has no clothes” and the most interesting thing about him ever, it looks more and more like he’s now just desperately trying to cling to the last seconds of his 15 minutes of fame.
Dix
jeffrey, unless you have slept with Aiken personally you and the rest of the queerty fearless soldiers don’t know for a fact that Aiken is gay. No matter how many of you spam message boards and claim to know. By the way, Aiken was on the show in 2003 and here it is 2007 and all of you are still obsessed with him. Proving his fame has indeed lasted more then 15 minutes.
to the people that are like a broken record
To the peolpe that keep repeating over and over like a broken record, “He’s gay get over it.” Shut the fuck up already. He’s NOT gay, YOU get over it. It’s so funny to see all these freakazoids tell us to get over it when they can’t STAND THAT CLAY has not admitted to being gay so they have to keep repeating the same shit over and over.
get the fuck over it, and don’t tell us to because you can’t seem to handle that he hasn’t admitted to being gay.
until you get over it, you have no right to tell US to get over it.
Plain and simple. Just shut the fuck up preaching your pro-gayken bashing bull shit.
it is now the year 2007
when was the first time that clay aiken appeared on TV? that was back in 2003. so for almost four years now you pro-gayken bashing freaks have been obsessing over clay and his sexuality. time to get a new hobby! oh i’m sorry, you’re all losers so you’ll continue for a fifth year.
Michael
hahahahaha!!! you’re all ridiculous. people don’t really care… and if you do… WAKE UP! it’s obviously fantastic gossip that getting one of the biggest responses on this website, which means more people to feed into supporting queerty.com. (by the way… awesome job queerty! brilliant move) as for you crazed clay defenders… your buttons are obviously way too easy to push, and i know a few of you are here out of gay curiosity. welcome darlings. thanks kids for a good end of the day chuckle!
to Michael
since 2003, now 2007…you’re gonna go for a fifth year? i bet you are. our buttons are not easily pushed. clay has these gay mother fuckers owned if they’re still obsessed with his sexuality since 2003. so don’t you dare think you can say us claymates have our buttons pushed because clearly, i can see the frustration in these gay fags who stalk clay that’ll do anything.
lmao @ Michael, seriously
These people can’t see what talent Clay has because they’re too suffocated in the idea of Clay being gay.
When was the first time Clay appeared on TV, was it 2003? What year is it now? 2007…hmm…looks like some people need to get a new hobby. or will they go on for a fifth year, probably the fifth year. they’ll never get over it that clay’s never gonna admit to being gay!
for almost five years stuck on one guy’s sexuality…i’d say that’s a bit over-obsessed. if you can’t out him for the first two years of appearance, you should just give up. seriously, give up and shut the fuck up preaching your pro-gayken bashing cults’ bullshit.
to those who say “he’s gay get over it…” you have no right to speak because you obviously can’t handle the fact that he’s never admitted to being gay. so until you get over it yourselves, don’t tell us to get over it. all “He’s totally gay, get over it posts,” will be, as imdb says, “truncated.”
Tony
The only people obsessed with this piss-ant’s sexuality are the handful of fans he has left. The rest of us are just laughing at him and you.
Brendan
oooooo. so does this mean his fans are going to be photoshopping pictures and making up scandalous stories of him with women now?
Or are they going to start making up their own gay fantasies?
to Tony
You are dead wrong. How intelligent are you? It doesn’t sound like you are. These dead beats have been trying to prove time and time again that Clay is gay with the laughable evidence they produce.
You think we make you laugh, but you know what? Your religious pro-gayken cult make us laugh even more, for making up pretend gay sex scandals because you can’t seem to out Clay Aiken. He’s too much for you. We’re not the obsessed ones. You don’t see us making up heterosexual stories (whether they are believeable or not) none are out there. You know what the funniest thing is? You freaks are trying too damn hard, and I find that hilarious, like lmfao hilarious and rolf hilarious.
brwhit2
I will keep my comments short and to the point. I have always supported gay rights. However, I no longer give a sh*t because of sites like yours. You are so incredibly homophobic in your own way and have taken it upon yourselves to point at others of YOUR choice to choose who is “closeted†and then force YOUR agenda on others. You have done more to set back the progress of gay rights than you can ever imagine. YOU have set back gay rights by fifty years, not that you really care. YOU are homophobic homosexuals who delight in pointing fingers at others. YOU have made being homosexual a joke. YOU are responsible for many people withdrawing their support on issues important to the gay community. I suggest you engage in a little group therapy that does NOT include sexual activity and get your collective acts together. You have NO idea of the damage you are doing. I am guessing that it is more important to you to make a paltry living getting hits on your pathetic web site than it is in making your world and the lives of the gay community a better place. People like you make me want to cry in frustration for all the hurt you are causing to those who truly want a life with rights and personal dignity. But then you have not concept of what the word dignity means you are only destroyers.
brwhit2 did i ever tell you how much i love your post?
because I do. these homophobic gay haters really don’t get it.

Finally one who actually gets it. Whew! I almost gave up any hope that there were any intelligent people left. Out of all the posts here, only a handful of them come off as even remotely intelligent. I do agree 100% with the posters who are bringing to light the total obsession with these haters in Clay Aiken. It’s been 4 years now. How many more will pass before the obsession wanes? And to what end? Anybody intelligent enough to give that some thought? Just wondering!!
Everyone just calm down please
Ok everyone will you please stop the bashing of each other, and obsessing about Clay’s sexuality. OR, perhaps that’s what this site is for?? I don’t know as I just stopped in. Why fight, sling barbs, discriminate, hate, fear, obsess about whether an intertainer is gay or not??? Is it a sport or what? The guy can sing, he is reputably awesome in concert, and from what I hear he is one heck of a nice person. If he is straight, or if he is gay get a clue….either way it isn’t going to take away his talent. It’s so evident after reading these blogs that the Clay “haters” love to get the fans all upset and hope for a response, it just feeds the haters egos. How about putting this energy in your own sexuality and have a good life.
Thanks
petulant
IT would be nice if Britwhit2 would point out how exactly he would go about making this world a better place for “homosexuals? He is quick to criticize Queerty for joking, mocking, whatever you want to call it about CLAY AIKEN! Whoa, children… this is Clay Aiken, not statistics on HIV increase in the world or marriage amendments. IT IS CLAY AIKEN! He is inconsequential in any gay rights movement because of the fact he ain’t going to admit he is gay because he needs to sell records to middle-aged women and adolescent girls. I personally find that Queerty posts more often about obscure news stories involving “the gay agenda†more so than any news outlet. Yes, they may do it with a caddy perspective, but hell who wants to read a dry news story by Katie Couric. To say they are a “setting back†the progress of gay rights is ludicrous. Hell, what happened to opposing opinions? Just because Queerty does not fit into your (Britwhit2) ideal of the gay world does not make it any less pertinent. What is sad is that it takes a pop singer to rile up feelings in people… and that ain’t pretty. If Brit wants homosexuals to be cookie cutter placid little adopt some children and pretend to be breeder conservatives he has that right, but to denigrate others who are doing a helluva job of exposing other homosexuals to the plight of others in the world is ludicrous.
petulant
and no evil mail/comments because I turned brwhit2 into Britwhit in my rather lengthy comment(my eyes are funny!) I love the Brits… they have great cocks! HA!
Gayle
This whole human race is Dysfunctional because of people like you who have no morals and no faith.
Have you ever been loved? Shame on your parents for raising nitwits. Now go back under your rock and pick on someone else that really deserves it.
what makes you gay haters think that you'll out him any time soon?
You people, or should I say, zombies have been trying too hard, too damn hard, like it’s your job to out Clay Aiken. He refuses to listen to the pile of bullshit that you send his way. Does that make you angry when he doesn’t talk about it at all on his talk shows that he guest stars in? I can see the extreme frustration in you Clay haters. If you couldn’t out him these past four years, what makes you think you’ll out him any time soon? Keep trying, keep trying. I guess you do follow that old saying…”If at first you don’t succeed, try try, try again.” And you have continuously failed over and over.
pffft
No. 41, I know you’re angry but please do not use the word “fag”. This really has nothing to do with whether the people doing this are gay. They just use being gay as an excuse to be the miserable human beings they are who like to demean and mock others. Internet trash is trash, doesn’t matter what their sexual identity is.
Why bother?
He has made it clear that he isnt’ going to discuss his sexuality any more. His fans would be better off to follow his example and leave the haters and gossipers to amuse themselves.
No. 54
I know what you’re trying to say, but these stalkers don’t deserve to be called anything else but mother fucking gay faggots because that’s what they are. The way they have treated Clay Aiken ever since he tried out for AI has been intolerable. I will show no remorse, sympathy, or anything at all for these dead beats. By me calling them mother fucking gay faggots does not top what they do to Clay Aiken.
Shauna
Listen people…. Have you not heard of Coti Collins? If not, look “HER” up!
about the succeeding quote
I’m pretty sure that the author of that quote who that wrote that didn’t mean waste your time in outting people and doing anything you can. I’m pretty sure the author meant it to use it in something that’ll get you somewhere. But I guess these zombies and the gayest mother fucking faggots take it however they want to, even up the ass, like they say clay aiken “supposedly” does.
pffft
#56. Again, I know your angy, but by using the word “faggot” you are giving them exactly what they want and what you’re trying to say is lost. They can now scream they are discriminated against because of their sexual identity when, in fact, it is because they are to put it in more simple terms, total pathetic mother fucking losers who have no life, which has nothing to do with who they have sex with.
It’s kind of like the Isaiah Washington thing. He gets angry and calls TR Knight a “fag” and so now Isaiah is in anger management and TR is being hailed on Ellen show as brave and a hero when in fact he’s a fucking irresponsible little jerk who holds up an entire production crew because he can’t get his sorry, lazy, drunken hangover ass to work. Doesn’t matter who’s he out partying with, he should be reprimanded and held accountable just like any other employee on that show but here again he hides behind his gayness to justify being a total prick. That’s what Isaiah was trying to get across but by getting angry and resorting to using the “fag” word his complaint totally lost its intent and now he’s labeled the bad guy.
Porter
BREAKING NEWS!
This just in:
Clay Aiken is gay. Claymates homophobic.
Film at 11.
We now return you to your reguarly scheduled programming.
ok, pffft, you're right, i've got a better name now
Alright, here’s a better term:
To you “Gay haters” who are on a mission –
Trying to out Clay Aiken, is like someone who is trying out on American Idol. Year after year, you think you’re getting somewhere or getting better, when in actuality, you are getting nowhere. Clay Aiken is like his own Simon Cowell, he keeps turning you down when you keep on trying. Just give up. You don’t know when to quit do you? Enough is enough.
Porter is lame
BREAKING NEWS: PORTER, GIVE IT UP. SAY ALL THE GAY HATE YOU WANT, THAT WON’T CATCH CLAY’S ATTENTION. HE’S DOING AN AWESOME JOB OF IGNORING YOU GAY HATERS. STOP TRYING. IT’S OKAY. KNOW WHEN TO QUIT. TODAY IS THE DAY, AND YOU ARE QUITTING.
SAY ALL YOU WANT, CALL HIM ALL T HE GAY NAMES AND say gay jokes that you want…but that doesn’t change the fact that Clay is not giving into you.
ken
Can you fans at least try to make sense? You tell people to: “STOP TRYING. IT’S OKAY. KNOW WHEN TO QUIT. TODAY IS THE DAY, AND YOU ARE QUITTING.”
but in the same post you tell people to: “SAY ALL YOU WANT, CALL HIM ALL T HE GAY NAMES AND say gay jokes that you want”
You sound very confused. Maybe you need a nap.
ken, it's ok
We really don’t need a nap, these Clay- haters just need someone to tell them when to stop. And I say they can call clay anything they want and make fun of how gay he is, but that doesn’t change the fact that Clay is ignoring them all, so they are wasting their time in typing that.
That is my point when I say they can continue with their gay hating ways.

I am a Clay Fan. I don’t like being called homophobic because I have gay friends and I love them. I don’t know whether Clay is gay but I don’t care. I truly enjoy his voice and his live concerts.
So he went on his Own fan site and decided to have a little fun with his fans. So What.
I can’t say that some rumors aren’t true, I don’t honestly know, none of us do. But I doubt they are all true. Give the guy a little bit of a break.
Oh yeah his 15 minutes of fame has lasted a little longer, like over 4 years! I think he will be around a while just really needs the right song to match that beautiful voice. And that is what it should be about his talent not his personal life. And maybe he is not your cup of tea and that is okay but PLEASE let those who really do enjoy that voice enjoy it. And not make everything else ugly surrounding his life.
Jake
I think Clay’s hair looks really terrible. Who’d wanna fuck someone on Manhunt with hair like that anyway?
to Jake
hunny, is this all you do all day…make fun of Clay? That’s not gonna get you anywhere except for other people who think you’re an idiot for spending so much time on a lost cause. seriously, really know when to move on to bigger and better things. clay makes his money by singing, what do you do?
you don’t gain anything by posting your comments except for lookin’ like the douche you are.
to Jake
Also, take my last statement and throw it back at me, but I’m not the one wasting time talking about someone I HATE witha passion 24-7.
Judy
Clay’s fans spend so much of their time insisting he is straight. LOL
me, me, me
Jake…I’d do him on Manhunt…Seahunt…a Scavenger hunt.
Seriously, let’s see what he’s been doing..he’s been promoting Unicef and help for the children of Uganda who are being killed, raped, and mutilated every day; he’s preparing for an upcoming meeting on the Presidential Committee for Person’s with Intellectual Disabilities on how to help them; he’s been working on his own charity for inclusion of children with disabilities in whose mission is to open the world to children who have often been left on the sidelines of life and inviting them in to expand the concept of what “ability” means and broaden what we offer one another in society that will be made more whole because of its diversity. (his words, not mine) All in a day’s work, unlike yourself who has nothing better to do than spread hate and malice on the internet.
And while I am not saying that I believe these webcam photos to be anything other than great photoshops, so what if on his spare time he does get on manhunt looking for someone to talk to, meet, hook up with. Why is that anybody’s business but his own? Leave him alone.
Laylo
There seem to be a lot of Claymates who believe Clay is gay and that the rumors are true or partly true. I see a lot of them saying they still love Clay and don’t care what he does. I don ‘t know if this is new thinking for more and more of them or they are just speaking up more. I haven’t seen this so much before now. It is surprising. Shocking to be exact.
lynn
I find it so extremely sad to read all these horrible posts about Clay Aiken. If those who seem to have issue with him would just take a little time to get the know the man,
maybe you would change your mind. He truly wants to help people, epecially children. Tell me why is that so bad? He spends countless hours on causes to help people, yet people want to tear him down. I truly don’t understand this. Maybe you don’t like his singing, maybe you don’t like his looks, and maybe you don’t understand his sexuality but you have to understand his real goal in life. To help others and make a difference. This is not an opinion this is a fact.
There have been way more stories and events he has been involved surrounding this goal than anything to do with American Idol. Just please take a little time to see this side of him and forget all the trash. You just might find a person to admire and not hate.
JMO
Hey Laylo
It’s not shocking or surprising. It isn’t even new.
The worst part about all of this furor over Clay Aiken is that hates have been prtrayin the Claymates and homophobic. Nothing could be further from the truth. it would be hard to be a fan of Clay’s if you were. He has made it abundantly clear from the beginning that he will befriend and employ anyone he chooses without regard to race, creed, physical handicap or sexual orientation. If there were fans who had issues with any of these things they were gone a long, long time ago.
The recent photos, etc? It’s definitely the work of a stupid fan. Perez and Queerty got scammed and will just have to live with it.
Or pretend that they were real.
Anybody want to take odds on which it’s be?
boo
uhmmm…yeah Clay Aiken is NOT gay. He has said so many times. Your all are stupid.
the fans are not the homophobes
I’m going to say this one more time that the fans are not the ones that are the homophobes. There are indeed fans who think he’s gay but they don’t pro-gayken bash him like the clay-haters with too much time on their hands do. I don’t spend too much time talking about the owner of this site and his gay pals, but rather what they do to other people. There is a difference.
about Claymates
Someone pointed out on Clay’s IMDb message board that we aren’t necessarily homophobes, but we just may not like the idea that he may be “off the market.” I guess that is somewhat true, but we are definitely not homophobes. Just look at yourselves you Clay-haters.
anonymousone
There are many more fans who believe Clay isn’t gay than there are that believe he is gay and especially who don’t believe the rumors. He has the full support of his fanbase.
no. 77, you're correct
anonymouseone, you are correct. even though the claymtes who think clay isn’t gay outnumber the ones who think he is gay, either way, they all support him. that is what these people don’t get…it honestly doesn’t matter to them.
Just Me
I don’t understand why some of you keep talking about how he needs to come out of the closet. If it is true, as you say, that he is on the internet trolling for a hook up 24/7 that sounds like he is pretty much out of the closet. So what exactly do you want him to do?
Someone asked how he feels about the homosexual community. How in the hell would anyone in here know that? How does any celebrity feel about homosexuality? And since they have fan driven careers I think that they will probably keep that bit of info to themselves. Wouldn’t want to offend either side I wouldn’t think. What the hell does it matter anyway? What a person thinks of another person’s lifestyle has nothing to do with their ability to do their job.
stupid assholes...
ok, why is it so funny? this is absurd! this is hilarious. this is so stupid i cant even find any other words to describe it.
man, this is getting really old, Clay is right, you are just recycling old stories. you like that huh? feels tasty to bash people huh? id figure!! big dumbasses such as yourselves with no lives at all… if you ever write a decent article, id be surprised. i bet the world will go to hell before something like that happens.
now i know that this scandal thing is all about! not hard to figure it out really.
and who’s the fuckin loser who gave his blog to the media? thats supposed to be only part of the fanclub. youve got no rights whatsoever to give it to strangers and even less right to publish it.
im surprised u aint arrested yet.
what? u dont care? lets see if the law turning against you will calm ur nerves down and maybe make you start using your BRAINS, if you got any, which i doubt.
Can We Talk?
I don’t believe that any of his fans absolutely believe that he is gay. How would they know for sure? What does a gay person look like? They don’t know him personally. I think they believe what he says and he says he isn’t. What they are saying seems to be that it wouldn’t matter to them if he was. And that seems fair and makes alot of sense regardless of his sexual orientation.

I don’t think that I wouldn’t underestimate Clay Aiken. He might just be the cleverest man alive.

Clay Keeps you guess for so long
That’s what fascinates me, is how long Clay has had these mother effers so attached to his sexuality. I bet he has been the only celebrity, that I know of in this day and age to keep stalkers like the bloggers Perez and this guy wondering for so long that they have to create gay sex stories as “proof,” notice the quotes around proof, in order to out him. Manhunt, gay sex at hotel, strip tease, all of those have never happened. I don’t need to dig deeper to find out if they actually did because all of these stories were created by stalkers who are obsessed with Clay. What’s not to get?
equality for all
Could someone explain to me why Anderson Cooper always gets a pass? When’s the last time anyone has seen George Clooney or Matthew McConaughey with a woman? If this is about outing, why then don’t you turn your attention on some heavy hitters–scared much??
they're shaking in their boots
They are definitely scared. The only reason they are stuck to Clay at the hip is because Clay is not giving in. He is one out of million who is not giving into the pressure and never will. If he does happen to finally give in on his Valentine’s day showing, you can bet that the homophobic remarks will increase more than they are now.
How much you guys wanna bet that there will be another post about him being gay after his live appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Feb. 14th? They really don’t know when to quit. These Clay-haters are too predictable.
That’s how these bloggers make their lame living: by keep on talking about Clay and getting hits more and more each day. Clay makes them $$$. I’m contributing to your lame profit because you need the money all you can get. Once you have enough money, if you don’t have it already, you stalking bloggers should buy a first class ticket outta here and fly to some vast unknown land, or one not visited by many, basically exile yourselves.
To No. 85
First, I preface this by saying…my thoughts are just speculation, as are everyone else’s in regard to peoples lives when they have no connection to them. I think it goes without saying that Anderson Cooper is gay. Within the media circle it’s probably an understood thing and his free pass may be the fact he’s “out” without a need to bring it to the forefront. I mean, the man has been spotted at gay bars in NYC. He’s not really hiding and it just doesn’t make for super juicy gossip. As for George and Matthew? These boys have been consistently confident in their sexuality and can usually dispel any gay rumors with ease. Oh! And let us not forget about the PR game. Anderson, George, and Matthew are good at it. Clay’s big problem is definitely poor PR or complete lack thereof. I’m not going lie. I don’t like Clay. The kid has an amazing voice, and that now goes without saying… i’ve just never liked his music. Then to add to my dislike… he makes me cringe… i’m always nervous for him… and whenever I see him on TV I can’t help but ask myself “what’s going to be his next embarrassing moment?â€
equality for all
Well 87, thanks for your response but then again it still doesn’t answer why Cooper is not out and proud so to speak which seems to be the rallying cry of the gay bloggers. Does publically going to a gay nightclub then make one not a target for outing? According to the gay bloggers, Clay did go a gay nightclub so in your argument he is out and therefore there should not be a need to bring it to the forefront. I will agree with you about Clay’s big problem being poor PR. His PR person is gay and I can’t help but wonder if there isn’t a conflict of interest and if this doesn’t get in the way of his doing his job properly and especially some of his PR person’s comments such as telling a gay publication that Clay would never speak to a gay publication. What kind of PR person in their right mind would say something like that? I don’t believe he spoke for Clay as he is very open minded and accepting and so many people have this idea that because he is a professed Christian that means he is right wing conservative and it is so not true. Unfortunately, this guy is the PR person for all American Idols and I think Clay is stuck with this horrible PR until he can get out of his contract.
lynn
No.87 – I was very interested in your comments about being nervous when Clay makes an appearance and what disaster might happen.
With two exceptions his appearances on TV have always been a ratings hit and usually his interviews are thoughtful and entertaining. The two exceptions I speak of, are Diane Sawyer’s attempt to out him GMA which made everyone uncomfortable even other news organizations. Because they felt it was a “sweeps” getter from a reputable organization and nothing more. And the other the Clay/Kelly incident, which at this point they are both over it and I guess everyone else should be.
I guess my point being, that I don’t hold my breath waiting for the sky to fall when he appears on an interview show.
He will be on Kimmel on Valentines Day and hopefully those mishaps are behind him. He is a very witty and quick and exceptional on stage when dealing with a
crazed crowd.
Not that this matters to you probably but I kinda know what you meant and I hope those awkward events are behind him.
Just Me
Since when does gays out gays? Kind of a personal thing don’t you think?

Yeah, it should be a personal thing. These gay people who are hating other gays don’t know when to stop and when they are crossing a line.
hey everyone, check out my paper topic on the latest blog here about clay aiken
what my name says.
Brittany
I adore Clay Aiken, and when and if he comes out and says he is gay, then so be it, but until that day, he is totaly straight in my eyes, mainly because one day we’re getting married.
Truth wins
These attacks on Clay’s good name are nothing more than an attempt to force him to denounce his conservative Christian fans. This is a way of pressuring his fans to not publicly deny him being gay so as to spare him being hated by gays and slandered in the gay media. You label his fans homophobe because some of them don’t agree with the gay lifestyle. It is also an attempt to force him to not cater to his fans whose beleifs are not in accordance with gay and gay rights supporters.
His Christian fans shouldn’t fall for this ploy. That is the motive of the haters to begin with. To drive us away.
You cannot stifle others just because you don’t agree with them. You only bring more anger against the entire gay communtiy and less support.
equality says
Truth wins – what the hell? His conservative Christian fans are a problem and are probably why he’s a target because they seem to think we’re all like you. Just look at your post and tell me it’s not homophobic. I pity him if he is gay because his conservative right wing nuts will crucify him. You only add to the problem and I wish these people who feel justified in attacking him because they think his fan base are Christian homophobes would realize that you are only a small vocal minority.
if only...
If only the owner of this site and stalking bloggers like him would know when to quit. They have tried year after year after year after year to out Clay Aiken in any possible way they can, even come up with their own “proof” in outing him.
Nothing ever works! You can tag Aiken in all your little online posts all you want, but that doesn’t mean he will respond to you or give you the time of day that you want him to give you.
And when Clay Aiken finally did respond to stalking bloggers like Perez and queerty.com, they obviously couldn’t handle it so they had to turn the letter into something it’s not.
Please give it up already, for your own good. We’re not defending Clay anymore, we’re just trying to tell you to STOP! Stop preaching your progayken business. He’ll come out when he wants to, and not because the likes of you (I’m talking to the owner of this site who keeps on tagging him in gay posts).
how inclusive
Clay has many conservative Christian fans. They are not homophobes just because they believe differently that you do.
Claymates are sure not all like you either. They believe what he said. They would not crucify him or anyone else. There are boards where his fans post that never post on his fan board nor are they vocal. They are not a minority just because you think they are.
You add to the problem by trying to convince the ones that attack Clay that his fans are homopobes when they are not at all. You are the one who causes problems for Clay. I hope that you are proud of yourself.

to equality says says:
Do you think only people who think like you do should be allowed to be vocal?

You come on a gay website and start spouting your crap about how you don’t believe in the gay lifestyle and your holier-than-thou attitude about how you don’t believe in gay or gay rights and you’re going to tell me that I’m the one that causes trouble for Clay? Your ignorance knows no bounds.
Guess what, honey, gays are born gay, therefore I guess you could say God made them that way therefore they are children of God just like the rest of us. I am proud of myself because I see God’s plans for everyone. Are you proud of yourself for giving Christians a bad name by acting so morally superior to those that don’t think like you or do your bidding.?
high road
I see very few Claymates defending Clay’s sexuality any more or even discuss it. When he said he is not going to waste his time any more in the GMA interview I think many of his fans took the cue and are doing the same.
Truth wins
Equality, you are a joke. You don’t know the meaning of the word.
libertysings
Um, no. Queeny Clay Aiken with his homophobe fans are the joke and one of the reason bloggers and the media continue to point it out.
libertysings is wrong once again
You can say all you want to make yourself feel better, but you Clay-haters have proven time and time again how you will not accept gays into the community. If clay happens to be gay, you are the reason why he is not coming out, because you’re already making him the “butt” of jokes (no pun intended).
Just give it the f up already. Like he said, you’re really “rehashing” the same old shit over and over again. You speak as though we haven’t heard anyone else say what you said before. Oh, puh-lease with the bullshit about the fans being homophobes. Don’t make me laugh again with your ridiculously false opinions.
honestly don't know why
I honestly don’t know why you people are still even debating about Aiken’s sexuality. You’re just arguing about things that have been already argued before, like Aiken and his Claymates say, “rehashing.”
The only somewhat “new” things are these fake and fabricated gay sex scandals that really don’t need to be talked about anyway. I could tell it was fake from the start.
I don’t even know why these idiots even pass that up as evidence. I was really thinking, “Are you fucking seriously for displaying this as evidence? It is so not believable.” But hey, the pro-gayken bashing cult will believe anything as “PROOF.”
as someone else said
The majority of the pro-gayken bashing cult will even believe that a pic is real that was made by a Claymate to prove a point in how easy it is to photoshop things.
about not accepting gays
Since we’re rehashing the same old things over and over, I give you Lance Bass as an example when it comes to not being accepted as a gay man. True his fans have accepted him, but Bass and significant other were even threatened to be killed by you gay-haters.
If Clay is indeed gay, he’s probably taken that to account. And even if he did finally come out, I doubt you people will EVER stop talking about it, at the rate you all are going.
I'm a claymate
I am one of those real, live, breathing, Claymates. I am not crazy but I am crazy about Clay Aiken. He is the hotest man that I have ever met. Sex appeal just drips from him. The reason is not his looks, although I think that he is drop dead gorgeous. It’s not his physique although that long slim body with those long slim legs moves me. His lips are perfect and most inviting and when he talks to you his eyes never leave you. He looks you straight in the eyes and makes you feel like you are the only person in the world at that moment. When he reaches out and takes your hand it feels warm, strong and you never want to let go. It isn’t just about his voice either, however when he talks to you, you know that he cares. Even if it is as a friend, a fan, or just another human being. He is sincerely greatful, and because he is so humble he is a little overwhelmed that we love him so much. When he sings, he sings with more emotion than I have ever seen and his voice touches you deep within. It moves you and excites you. Add to all of this is his wonderful sense of humor and sharp wit. The man is the total package. So, while all the so called mancho men can’t understand it or all you gay men can’t accept it Clay Aiken is a woman’s man and there is absolutely nothing gay about him. He loves the women way too much. His male fans also know full well that he is a ladies man and they think that not only is he extremely talented but they think that he is extremely smart too. You have to know something about the man to know these things and understand it. All the people who love to hate and ridicule Clay Aiken know nothing about him. You are just so full of hate and envy that you have to find someone to pick on and make fun of . You’re just bullies and there is nothing new or unique about you. Just a different time, different place, different person. And while the people who use his name and tag these stories just to make money are providing you with a place to be your bad elves by letting you spew your hate and unhappiness you have not changed one Claymates mind about Clay Aiken, nor have you made him gay. The only closet that Clay Aiken has is the one that he hangs all of his expensive suites in which is located over his garage where he parks his two mercedes. Not bad for a 27 old millionaire who can sing like nobody else on this planet and just happens to be what many women want and what one lucky lady has.
I love him and nothing will ever change that. So let up already.
maybe this will finally reach you gay-hating scumbags
how much time are these people gonna waste honestly. CLAY IS NOT GAY. He just had a different lifestyle (NOT REGARDING TO HOMOSEXUALITY) and was raised by women. what’s NOT to get. give it the fuck up already and stop tagging him in your stupid gay posts.
naturally if a man was raised by all women and an abusive father, of course he’s gonna have some efeminite qualities. stop posting gay your stupid little “Clay is gay he needs to come out” topics. you’re getting yourselves nowhere.
honestly, do you mean to tell me that a man’s gonna turn out macho if he was raised by all women and an abusive father? PLEASE!
get a reality check, it doesn’t happen often.
You don’t know Clay Aiken at all. So I think you Clay-haters shouldn’t act like you know everything and anything about him because in reality, you know NOTHING. There are Claymates who actually look into how he was raised unlike you.
ever heard this little saying
There are Claymates who actually look into how he was raised unlike you dipshits who will write anything just because you see something or someone how it is.
Ever heard that saying, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover?” I guess not.
correction on myself
I meant to say, “Don’t judge a book by ITS cover.”
But of course you people have never heard of that saying.
I'm a claymate
There is nothing about Clay Aiken that is effeminate. I am amazed that people who know nothing about him have come to that conclusion. Five minutes in his presence would put that to rest. Clay, at his young age, is a very classy man who did indeed grow up with some very gentile southern women. He is what we call in the south, a southern gentlemen. I guess to some people that may come across as effeminate. I don’t see how though. But I assure you he isn’t. Just because he has a southern accent, doesn’t participate in tractor pulls, shitting contest, playing football, working on cars or going hunting it doesn’t make him effeminate or gay.
alexa
I can’t believe you Claymates are still here arguing about this. What are you even doing here? This is a gay blog, of course the emphasis is going to be on the gay. Duh.
What does it all matter anyway? Why do you care if people think he’s gay? Why is it so important to you that he be straight? All that should matter is that he has a great voice (and will hopefully one day put out a CD worthy of it, but that’s another topic). When TR Knight came out, he said he hoped the fact that he’s gay wasn’t the most interesting thing about him. Unfortunately the most interesting thing about Clay at the moment seems to be his sexual orientation, and that’s a real shame.
to equality from No. 87
…in response to: “Does publicly going to a gay nightclub then make one not a target for outing?”
No, and just because someone’s at a gay bar doesn’t mean their gay. This goes for Clay. Maybe he was hanging out with his gay PR guy. Who knows? Whatever. I don’t care.
Let’s not beat around the bush people. Clay is a target. He will always be a Target. Maybe it’s his ears waving in, pointing towards his forehead, and saying “here, here, here…aim here.” (Sorry, my poor attempt at humor).
Cooper reports the news. His job is supposed to be unbiased. He’s not supposed to become a target otherwise he wouldn’t be doing his job well. Besides, I don’t really watch him… I prefer getting news from reading papers or the BBC. For the most part we don’t know much about top anchors in this country and who they get their jollies off with, and I for one don’t feel the need to start with him. Although I wouldn’t mind getting my Jollies off with a top national news anchor with gray hair, a fantastic smile, piercing eyes, and happens 14 or 15 years older than me…even though I’m not into older men… I would not kick him out of bed….okay….moving on.
Lynn responded that she thinks Clay’s interviews are “thoughtful and entertaining” as well as him being “witty, quick, and exceptional on stage.” Wouldn’t it be interesting for him to attend a benefit or show support for some sort of group like HRC? I’m just throwing that one out there so don’t get your panties in a bundle if you support another group. He doesn’t have to be gay to do it… anyone can do it. Would it be more meaningful if he supported a group as an openly gay male? Wouldn’t his support open up more discussion in parts of the country where it’s not happening? By no means am I saying I want Clay as a spokesman for gay rights… I think he will always make me cringe and roll my eyes. But if folks are all about equality then let’s stop the “who’s gay and who’s not gay†conversations and start asking questions to Clay and Anderson about their support for gay rights and how they think they can help.

That’s what we’re trying to tell people! Everyone just really needs to stop talking about it, BOTH sides. But these homos have an agenda and feel that Aiken is a “closet case,” and they will never STOP! I’m not making these stalkers being gay an issue. What they are is what they are.

Why would Clay Aiken want to support a gay rights group? Why would that interest him? Again, I don’t think that you know much about the man. He is a humanitarin and a philanthropist who actively works for disabled children and adults and he is also on the Presidents committee for disabled Americans and while he has fans of all genders, races, creeds, and national origins along with fans of differing sexual orientations, at no time have I ever known him to be a political activist.
though it shouldn't matter, it obviously does to some people
Don’t tell us Claymates/supporters to stop talking about it when we’re not the ones who are constantly bringing it up. All we are doing is responding to these homos on a mission. That is all. What, we can’t have a say in what they’re doing is wrong? We’ll stop talking about when they will stop talking about it. And as of now, it seems like that will be never.
to claymate from No. 87
You ask….”Why would Clay Aiken want to support a gay rights group? Why would that interest him?”
Why not support gay rights? Why shouldn’t it interest him? You’re right, I don’t know him and I think it’s great that he supports excellent causes, but you sound as if you put him on a pedestal above something such as gay rights. It’s political in the US because it has to be, any and all movements in the fight for human rights is political. Most importantly the fight for gay rights is rooted in Humanitarianism, there are homosexuals in other countries and our great country going day by day living in fear for their lives, things may be getting better here, but people in other countries are still being executed for being gay. Please don’t forget that.

Being gay/straight is no more political than being disabled/abled or being white/black. It is only a state of being.
I'm a claymate
No. 117: You asked, Why not support gay rights?
For the same reason that he doesn’t support any other of the million and one causes. Perhaps lack of interest. No, I am not saying that he doesn’t care about human rights, I know better, but I am saying that perhaps your particular agenda isn’t a biggy on his agenda. He says that he picks and chooses his battles, and it looks as though his heart is with education and medical treatment for children with disabilities. So I will ask you, of all the people in the world why do you think that Clay Aiken should support gay rights?
No. 118: You stated that being gay/straight is no more political than being disabled/abled or being white/black
Oh come on yes it is and you know it. Right now gay rights is the hot bed of politics. Why else would you want these two well known men who you believe are both gay to support it? And if you believe that there is no political difference then I guess you can accept that he has chosen the group that he wants to support and that is the disabled. By the way some of them are gay also. I have no idea what Clay’s thought process or feelings about gay issues are. I have never asked him and I never will. According to him when he was on Larry King Live he said that he doesn’t sit around and hypothesize on it which I took that he never thinks about it. I could be wrong though.
I do have a question though to both No. 117 and No. 118. If you two are truly concerned about gay rights and you really believe that Clay Aiken is gay then why don’t you have respect for his privacy and his rights?

They have a fit over Simon saying that one of the contestants on AI looked like a girl and yet they have stayed mum while this year long venom, hatred and threats have been spewed at Clay, because in the perpertrators words, he is gay. Not one word of condemnation from this organization that is supposed to be the beacon for gays everywhere. What a useless organization you have that won’t speak out against hatred and threats to someone they consider a gay man.
As for Clay speaking to the HRC, he has kept his politics to himself. He has, however, performed for a Broadway for Aids concert with Heather Headley, selling quite a few tickets for this cause and also a lot of donations went into their coffers as they provided the Clay fans who couldn’t attend with a DVD of his performance.
GLAAD supporter
GLAAD might consider “standing up” for Clay, if he admitted that he was a gay man. GLAAD is a voice for gays.
Since Clay keeps alluding (I say alluding because since all the scandals erupted he won’t definitively say one way or the other) that he is straight, there is no reason for GLAAD to be involved.
Gay rights includes the idea that gays be free to not feel like they have to live and pretend to be something they obviously are not.
equality for all
In the case of the AI guy that Simon ridiculed, nowhere was it announced or did the contestant say he was gay, so why did they jump to his defense. And according to all of you, Clay is gay, so what you’re saying is that GLAAD has no interest in a hate campaign aimed at someone just because everyone thinks that person is gay. There have been death threats posted on blog sites to Clay that say to kill the fag because of the hatred that members of the gay community have spread and yet GLAAD has no interest? What does that say about you and your organization then?
to claymate from 117
I don’t know if Clay is gay. I have never stated in any of my posts that I believed he was because I don’t care. I do respect his privacy… I don’t make it my business to know everything about him… or many other stars for that matter especially the ones I actually like. I don’t need to know that their closet is above a garage with two Mercedes Benz. I
I do believe in gay rights, therefore I believe everyone should support it, and I will always stand up for it. It’s great that Clay does what he does with his choice in support for groups. Yay. Good for Him. But if we think about it… the way his whole sexuality situation has been handled has not been done very well, and it’s gone on for a LONG time at the Clay Camp. Maybe it would be a good move to support a gay rights group to actually begin the process of cooling things down. Maybe, there would be less hatred in posts from the crazy gays who make it all about homophobia and “down with crazy Christians†(I’m sick of hearing that crap) and on the other side quite those who have made it about “us vs. them†and their anti-homo messages….
People are cruel. And it’s easy to do behind the keyboard.
If Clay supported gay rights then I might actually care and applaud him….and it might actually dull my “cringe†response to him… and maybe, just maybe I’ll buy a concert ticket to support him. But he doesn’t need me… and I REALLY don’t need him. Ces’t La Vie.

I have to say it is refreshing to see some intelligent discussions on this subject instead of just smut!
No one knows Clays stand on gay rights, but it would be an interesting guestion for an interview show sometime.
I do imagine he is limited to what he can talk about due to his contractual obligations, but who knows?
I have seen him in person many times and have witnessed first hand his kindness and attention to those less fortunate. And I believe this is done without an agenda, but only becauses he cares about bringing joy to those who most celebrities who rather ignore. If you don’t believe me go to a concert sometime and just look at the variety of people who attend.
I still believe he will deal with his personal life in his own time and take the appropriate stand on gay rights or whatever you feel he needs to address.
lynn
One more comment. As for an American Idol, I think he is the only one here has been. He is intelligent, articulate, caring and talented. His personal life is still in guestion I know, but that does not diminish his appeal or interest. There have been others who absolutely are talented singers but they do not generate the interest good or bad that he does. And I am just waiting for that perfect song for that perfect voice to blow us all away!
Enough said.
Lynn is a troll
Lynn you say that Clay’s personal life is still in question. Only to the haters it is. If you can’t believe what Clay has said about his personal life which is that the rumors or not true, how can you believe all the other good things about Clay that he seems to be?
You are apparently not very supportive of who Clay has said he is.
lynn
I am absolutely a supporter of Clay. If you could see the room I am sitting in, it is wall to wall Clay! But I support him no matter what he is. I do believe him, but I try to keep an open mind to all possibilites.
He is very guarded and understandably so, but I do not know him personally so I do not know what is in his heart. Yes, he has said he is not gay but who knows what has changed in his life in the past few years. I don’t believe he is stupid enough to go on a gay site because he KNOWS that will be found by someone. So I do not believe these ugly stories.
So I choose to celebrate his voice and his desire to help others and what he does in his personal life, either way, is his choice. That does not make me a troll or a non-supporter of his. And if by some chance he would say he is gay, I would not desert him because of it, like I fear many would. That is what you call SUPPORT!

So Lynn do you really think that is the way it works? He just changed and decided to be gay? Oh brother!
lynn
Honestly, I don’t know how it works. But I still I am open to whatever he desides is his life. That is just all I can say.

Clay has said that the rumors are bull@$%#! That is pretty plain. If you can’t believe him when he says that you are lacking as a fan.
Just Me
I have two questions?
I was watching Josh Groban on the View today. Seems as though he first appeared on the Rosie O’Donnell Show back when she had one. According to Rosie, she and David Foster are very good friends (but then she says that about a lot of people. They are either her best friends or she hates them LOL) and that he had asked her to have him on her show. I am wondering if Josh Groban might be gay and if possibly David Foster also? Not that you have to be to ask a favor, but Rosie just seems to mostly hang with gay and lesbians. Just curious if anyone knows the answer.
equality says
Calling Lynn a troll just because she keeps an open mind is all kinds of wrong and I can tell from your posts what board you’re from. If Clay did come out and say he was gay, you’d drop him like a hot rock, so who is the true supporter here. My money’s on Lynn.
And Just me your question is so lame, there’s no point in answering.
to equality says
Lynn alludes that the rumors may be true.
She may not mean that. That is how she comes across.
If Lynn’s mind is so open why isn’t it open to believe Clay?
He says the rumors are bull#@%$!!!!
I believe in Clay
equality says says:
Lynn is a troll is telling it the way it is. Don’t judge her by your ignorance.
I know which board you admin and you support the haters on your board. I can tell by your lack of intelligence who you are. Your board members numbers participation say that I am not alone in my opinion. 😉 Fool!
Joshlover
Yes, Josh Groban may be gay. So????????
hey u guys, i just realized something...
You know how the Clay-haters keep on saying that Clay is gay because there are “proofs” and “evidences?” Well, the most recent fabricated scandal created by Perez is an actual picture of Clay in the webcam. If you’ll compare those pics to the strip teases, the manhunt chat, and any other fabricated pictures, you can CLEARLY AS DAY see that they are NOT of Clay Aiken, except for the recent fabricated one that is actually him. All of these stories are indeed made up.
forgot to mention
including the one of the yahoo! webcam with clay aiken’s real picture.
about these gay-hating stalkers who want to give clay bad press
You’d think that these gay-hating stalkers who are working together would use the same poser who’s trying to look like Clay in all of their fake and fabricated gay sex scandals, right? Then, I might think SOMETHING of it. But the fact that if you compare all of these pictures to Clay’s real pictures, something doesn’t add up.
Those 4 angle shots that idiot Clay-haters keep on using as evidence in outing Clay, you never actually see Clay.
If you compare the striptease and any other pics with the webcam pic which is the real fabricated photo of Clay, honestly, they’re not the same person.
Next time, if you douches want people to believe your stupid scandals, at least use the same poser in all of them.
Can We Talk?
There are no posers. There are no pictures of Clay Aiken. All the pictures are photoshopped. We’ve already been over that a million times. The pictures are not real. It was just PH’s attempts to get hits to keep his sorry site alive.
to can we talk
I know there weren’t ever any pictures, I’m just trying to make the point that what these people are believing did not exist and never happened and was created by a man or men obsessed with the idea of “clay being gay.”
hey u guys, i know this may be a long but quick read...
for my magazine writing class, we had to do a feature and i thought u all may enjoy this. i posted it in another place but i’m not sure if anyone’s read it. it’s really a quick read even tho it’s kind of long. i just want some others opinions to see if they feel the same way. thanks.
Here it is, my paper for class:
What are Celebrities Really Famous for?
Whenever you hear people discussing certain celebrities, what do you hear them talk about? Is it about their latest song hit, block buster movie, how gorgeous they are, or is it about their personal lives regarding their sexuality and public indecencies or physical features? What should truly matter are the talents (or lack there of) that made the celebrity famous in the first place. This, however, is often overlooked and what seems to be in E-news lately is not about what they’re good at, but debates about celebrities’ sexualities.
Many Internet surfers go to PerezHilton.com, Hollywood’s most-hated website and Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) for the latest gossip on celebrities. The topics at hand are mainly about their personal lives rather than the talents or lack there of that they have.
“Well, ideally, the sexual orientation of a
famous actor or actress should be largely irrelevant. I mean, when you go to see a movie or watch a T.V. show, you are not expressly watching it to know more about, say, Nicole Kidman or Ben Affleck. You should really just be watching it for the pure entertainment value. However, since we essentially let these people into our lives and our homes whether we watch them on TV or at the movies, they vicariously become a part of our family and friends, someone we recognize and are concerned about,†said x, a film major at the University of Notre Dame.
Perez Hilton, real name Mario Lavandeira, is an openly gay man who basically “stalks†every celebrity he can. He then publishes any kind of story about them on his own blog with stolen photos (which he is currently in a $7.5 million lawsuit for) or photos of his own which are photo-shopped with “white drug stains†or words on them. He appears to have a fetish for Beyonce’s armpits poses and Lindsay Lohan’s rehab visits as well as “Aiken for Clay†on his blog posts. His pen name is dedicated to his role model non other than the heiress, Paris Hilton.
Hilton has created a mission that he feels the need to “out†people who he thinks are “closeted gay men or women†in the celebrity world. He is credited for outing former N’Sync singer Lance Bass as a gay man. Is this something to be proud of? The general public believes forcing celebrities to “come out of the closet†puts people in humiliating and uncomfortable situations. “If someone is not open about his sexuality, it is his choice to keep it secret. If someone did not want to admit she got an F on an exam, no one should try to make her announce it to the world. That’s embarrassing; it is nobody business,†said y, a student at the University of Notre Dame.
Many people believe that celebrities’ private lives should be open books because they choose to be in the spotlight. “A person’s personal life, celebrity or not, should remain personal until that person makes it public on his or her own,†y said.
After Lance Bass was finally outed, a new term was made, “lancing,†meaning the same thing as “outing†gay, lesbian or bisexual celebrities. It is true his fans still accept him as a gay man. On the other hand, while he was dating Amazing Race winner Reicthen Lehmkuhl, an openly gay man, Bass and lover received hate mail from the KKK threatening them if they didn’t die themselves, they would be killed. This was all over the news when Bass came out in July 2006. Mr. Bass is a perfect example of a celebrity who was “successfully†outed by Perez Hilton. No one cared if Bass is gay, but Hilton made it his agenda to out him because he noticed that Bass had been showing up at many gay bars lately.
Clay Aiken, American Idol’s runner-up from 2003, appears to fascinate Hilton and company more than any other celebrity in existence. People have debated about Aiken’s sexuality ever since he appeared on A.I. When he was first asked that particular gay question, Aiken answered with a no. The general public, however, thinks he is a “closet case,†like Bass was.
The media keeps hounding Aiken day in and day out on whether or not he is gay because they will not accept his “no†for an answer only because he “acts†and “talks†like a stereotypical gay man. “The tabloids and the people who write on those stupid blogs don’t care about Clay Aiken. They just want people to watch and/or buy their ‘news.’ No one at those papers has a ‘vendetta’ against Aiken, per say. He just happens to be popular enough that a scandal about him sells papers, and that is why, whenever he gives them the opportunity to write a story or show a compromising picture, they jump on it,†x said.
Hilton and his gay pal at queerty.com, John Paulus as well as other stalkers of Clay Aiken have created numerous gay sex scandals on their own to call their stories “proof†in outing him on their blogs. The public believes these stories to be true as ludicrous as they sound because they are all so wrapped up in the idea that Aiken is a closet case. “They want to whet the consumer’s appetite for stuff so they can sell more in the future and make a name for themselves,†x said. Aiken is still in question to this very day. He labels these people as, “bull sh it journalists,†quoting him from a letter to his fans on clayonline.com.
In a 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer attempting to out Aiken as a gay man, he says, “I know I have some effeminate qualities, I was raised by my mom and my grandma. I’m not blind to it. In Hollywood, you’re either a womanizer or you’re gay. Because I’m neither people don’t know what to do with me.†After being asked if he is gay over and over again, he has decided not to answer any more questions regarding his sexuality. In the end, the majority of the “pro-gayken hating†people think this is a way of Clay saying that he’s automatically gay.
Another attempt on outing Mr. Aiken was with the feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Kelly Ripa. The Regis & Kelly Show invited Aiken as a guest host while Regis was out of town during one of the weekends. While Aiken was on air, Ripa continuously questioned her guests and did not allow him to speak at all. Was she a bad hostess? He finally covered her mouth playfully so he could actually talk. Ripa sarcastically replied, “Whoa, honey, I don’t know where that hand has been!†O’Donnell naturally took offense as this being a homophobic remark on her show, The View. But the confusing thing is, Mr. Aiken has not admitted to being gay, so what was homophobic about it? Hilton and company graciously took this as “all signs pointing to yes, Clay Aiken is gay.†The tabloids caught on and immediately wrote articles asking its readers, “Does Rosie’s outburst with the ‘homophobic remark’ think Clay Aiken is gay and did she out him?†This was another “opportunity†for tabloids and “bull sh it journalists†to make money.
Clay Aiken has been on television for almost four years. People are still debating about his sexuality or discussing it for “entertainment” and money. Aiken has not once caved into the negative forces of society and still keeps a positive outlook on life and continues his blossoming career in music. If he is gay, would it make him any less-talented of a singer? People are placing too much importance on celebrities’ sexualities. His fans known as Claymates will always be his fans no matter what. “I don’t care what the tabloids say, I just choose not to believe them because most of the time, they aren’t true anyway,†said z, a devoted Claymate.
why the push to convince everyone
If most of the Claymates and fans believe Clay is gay and don’t care then whey are they labeled homophobic by the media and haters?
If everyone in the industry knows Clay is gay then why is the media still hellbent on reporting it as news?
If people will use their brain to think with they may come up with the answers.
to No. 142, have u read my paper? just wondering, heh
I’m assuming you read my paper right? The media just want something to talk about I guess, and everyone knows that Clay’s sexuality sells, even to this very day.
Most of the time the media give people (some celebs in particular) bad press anyway. I really don’t know why they label the fans homophobes, it’s honestly these gay men on an agenda and their followers who are.
The media and “bullshit journlists” are so bored with themselves and they can never shut up about Clay Aiken’s sexuality because they know that people will go to their blog for hits.
I'm a claymate
Being a claymate myself, I want to share with the readers here that there have been many, many, many times that Clay Aiken has answered “the question”. It hasn’t been just a couple of times nor has he randomly been asked the question. He has been dogged from the beginning and he has answered in every way that a human being could possibly answer the question “Are you gay”? Now while it wouldn’t matter if he was gay, he has repeatedly answered that question as honestly as he possibly can. As he stated in an interview recently regarding whether the public should have a right to a celebrity’s privacy, he said that after a while these questions become abusive, offensive so I am not going to answer that question any more. He hasn’t and I can tell you from knowing what he does share with his fans that he is very stubborn. So, he won’t be answering it again. He is not going to talk about it. Clay Aiken is a person who cares about other people and while he is not going to be bullied or pushed into saying things that can be misconstrued as prejudice or homophobic against the gay community, his decision to not discuss his private life is not an admission of being gay or a “coming out” of sorts. It simply means that his private life is his, none of the public’s business and that when he is not performing, his life belongs to him. I think that we all feel that way about ourselves.
Not only has Clay been a victim of abuse at the hands of Perris Hilton and his co-horts but Clay’s fans have been attacked also. According Hilton and other fame whores, Clay can’t possibly have any fans who aren’t a bunch of crazed, blue haired, lonely women who will believe anything that Clay tells them. Well while I might be a “nobody” in the trash talk, bull sh it media world, I can assure you that they are so totally off base that it really should be a crime to be able to print whatever you want to say without any sort of ethics or at least reliable proof. Of course I think that it really goes without saying that the public is a little more intelligent than Hilton gives them credit. In fact Clay has some of the most educated followers. Since he was a teacher himself before fame lapped up his life, he has many teachers/educators from all levels of the educational field who follow him. He is highly respected in the upper echelons of the music industry including Clive Davis, President of RCA Records. Song writers are clamoring to write songs for him and a producer (not his producer) recently stated that Clay could possibly have the most perfect voice of any singer today.
He is distinguished in the world of humanitarian efforts and not only was asked to serve as an Ambassador to UNICEF but also appointed by the President of the United States to a committee as an adviser for Americans with disabilities. He has a tremendously large following, dubbed “minions” of people from all walks of life including doctor’s, lawyers, corporate leaders, educators, nurses, librarians, retail workers, baby sitters, and housewives/Mr. Moms. His fans range from 4 to 94. He also has a huge male following known as the “ClayDawgs”. And No, they are not all gay men. He has a diverse following and we completely and comfortably share our common interest. He is loved by his fans foremost because of his amazing talent, his thoughtfulness, his desire to be a good role model, his work with disabled children and also because he is a very caring, hard working, devoted man and devout Christian. He “openly” admits to loving God, his Mother and his Grandparents. He is conscientious and demands of himself a quality product and has a penchant for satisfying his fans with a great concert experience. Recently on his “Jukebox Tour” he sang 65 songs. How many artist ever give that much of themselves to their fans? To really know Clay Aiken is to like him, to appreciate and respect him and to value his mark on our world today. It is a shame that any human being, while trying to deliver a great performance for one’s money, has to be slammed, ridiculed, lied about and constantly maligned.
don't misquote Clay
I read your paper 143 and I see that you say “if he is gay” which tells me that you have fallen for the very thing you wrote about.
144 While you are correct in saying that Clay has made it clear that it is a waste of his time to keep discussing the subject of his sexuality he himself has not said “he is not going to be bullied or pushed into saying things that can be misconstrued as prejudice or homophobic against the gay community”. That is something you have projected on him.
We don’t know if that is true or not and can’t speak for Clay. He has said in at least one interview that it is insulting to be asked the question.
I'm a claymate
→ No. 142
why the push to convince everyone says:

No. 142 –
I just wanted you to know that “most of the Claymates and his fans” do not believe that Clay is gay. Most of us beleive exactly what he said and that is that he is not. There are some fans who have stated that it wouldn’t make any difference to them if he was but they never said that they thought he was. Even he stated in People magazine “the people who know me, my fans, my friends and my family know the truth”.
I'm a claymate
No. 145.
I never said that Clay stated that he would not be bullied and pushed into anything. Maybe you need to go back and read my post again.
And yes, I can speak for Clay when I am quoting him. As a true follower of Clay Aiken, I can say without a doubt that Clay has stated that “he is not gay” and that “he has answered the question in every way that he possibly can and that he will not answer it again”.
There I put all of his quotes in quotation marks so that you will now know the difference between what he has acutally said and what I said. And talk about projection!!!!!! If it wasn’t for the bull sh it projections we wouldn’t be here talking. Now would we?
to 145 who read my paper
“I read your paper 143 and I see that you say “if he is gay” which tells me that you have fallen for the very thing you wrote about.”
I have not, this is just an assignment for class and is a sample feature. I just find this topic very intriguing because people are still talking about it to this very day. If I had published it anywhere, like in an actual newspaper or magazine place, then yes, perhaps, even my own blog. Me putting this as a comment on a blog (yes, and only a blog in the comments section) does not make it an article or what I’m trying to talk about.
Well my point is, why still discuss it if it is indeed getting nowhere? His Claymates really one way or another don’t give a shit about Clay being gay. I’m asking if he is gay will it matter, I didn’t say he was gay.
And then I listed reasons why people think he is gay.
However, I would like to thank you for taking your time and reading it and giving me your inputs.
ah ok
to 145: i think i misread your comment on accident, but yes, i get what you are saying, too. how am i misquoting clay? he did say that these people who are talking trash about him and publishing it as news were in fact, “bullshit journalists”?
nevermind to 145
Nevermind, i realized again u weren’t talking to me in the second part of your comment, you did afterall say 144 but yeah, how have i fallen for the very thing that i am writing about?
are you saying that i'm a "bullshit journalist"?
I can’t be a bullshit journalist if I haven’t been hired by a magazine company or some other place that publishes articles. This is just a comment(s) turned into a sample feature/paper on what I think about what these gay men on a gay agenda are doing to “supposedly closeted” gay celebrities. it honestly should be no one’s business regardless if a certain celebrity has been seen out in public with or without someone.
in addition to my comment in 151
I’m saying, “If he is gay (but doesn’t want to say anything about it)…why should it matter that people have to talk about it the way they do? It’s not really gonna affect them because they don’t even buy/listen to his music, gay or not,the ones who are religiously into this subject, that is.
I’m definitely not religiously into it, it’s just that you people who do talk about it like it’s your job in bashing/outing Clay Aiken have given me a topic to write about. I want to know when you Clay-haters (not saying you are 145, but in general) will stop talking about it. Every site I go to that talks about Clay Aiken, is invaded by gay posts (even IMDB which is a discussion board about ANYTHING) .
Obviously this is a gay man’s site who has a gay agenda, but naturally he would talk about Clay’s “gayness” and nothing else. You really can’t talk about Clay Aiken the way you do, owner, because you obviously don’t know if he’s gay or not. You just THINK you know, but really, you have no idea because you know jack shit about Aiken except for what you see. You’re not a friend, family member or even an aquaintance, let alone a fan. I think you’re just really bored with yourself.
These people just find this for entertainment and money, oh and to obviously get their name out there and get attention. There’s nothing else on why they would do it.
I don’t have my own blog and I don’t call myself a journalist at this point, but maybe someday, but definitely not a bullshit journalist, though. And also, I’m not getting any money for this.
what i'm trying to say is
queerty.com, you’re site’s main subject is about openly gay men, in general. you don’t know if clay is gay or not, but you’ve made a commitment in thinking that he is so then you blog and talk about it like he is. you really shouldn’t talk about people who you think are gay like the way you do if you don’t know that for a fact that they are gay, you’re just assuming it like everyone else.
what i'm trying to say is, sorry for posting so many, but...
queerty.com, (i mean your here) site’s main subject is about openly gay men, in general. you don’t know if clay is gay or not, but you’ve made a commitment in thinking that he is so then you blog and talk about it like he is. you really shouldn’t talk about people who you think are gay like the way you do if you don’t know that for a fact that they are gay, you’re just assuming it like everyone else.
Let me try and clear this up
149 the part of your post I am referring to is this quote
“he is not going to be bullied or pushed into saying things that can be misconstrued as prejudice or homophobic against the gay community”
While this may be true, if we haven’t heard Clay say this then it is only assumption on your part.
As for the comment I made when I said that “Claymates are called homophobes yet it is posted in many places that most believe that Clay is gay” I am not referring to any posts here.
My comment saying that 141 is being influenced by the very media that she is reporting on is because of this comment “”if he is gay” in her/his post.
When a person who is a die hard fan says this after hearing Clay himself answer the quetion, it only proves that the tabloids and media has influenced their perception of who Clay is.
I have to believe Clay over all the media reports and gossip.
to 155
wait, i’m not the same person who you think i am. i’m the same (149 who wrote the paper), not that one comment after the paper.
that poster is someone else. i’m confused by what you’re saying to me when you say i have followed the very thing i’m talking about or whatever it is you said.
to 152
I, 145,am definitely not a Clay hater. I believe him. Not the media and tabloids.
to 157
Good, I am happy to hear you say that. I’m just so mad at these people who call themselves “journalists” when really, they’re nothing but a bunch of bored blogging gossipers who don’t know what they’re talking about, at least in this case, with Clay Aiken. It gets on my nerves that these people who aren’t even fans of Aiken, just Clay-haters talk like they know everything and anything about him when in actuality, they know nothing at all.
True I don’t have to go to this site and read the bullshit posts that queerty.com and others alike have written, but they really need to stop publishing false information, especially about Clay. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn’t have a problem with it if the information they provided were true. They are after all, making money off this site, are they not?
to 155 (from the paper writer)
Ah, okay I see what you mean now. I will admit that when I first saw Aiken out on AI, I thought he was gay, but after he said no, I believed him. That’s where I’m coming from when I say, “If he is gay…” The media did not influence me, but my first impression on Clay when I saw him did.
I get it now
to 159 I see what you are saying now. I was incorrectly assuming that your first impression of him is that he is gay was from gossip media.
I see what you are saying.
I find it odd that the gossip media need to push something that they say is so obvious in the first place.
It makes me know that they themselves are not believing what they are spouting. They are only out to make money.
to No. 160
Yeah, that’s what I mean. It’s okay. Good thing things are cleared up. It’s always about the $$$ with these stupid wannabe journalists.
oh, and
how could i forget about this, not only about the $$$, but about getting their stupid little names out as well. mmhmm.
jason vorhees
Clay Aiken has not made any kind of definitive statement on his sexuality since the webcam photos or Mr. Paulus became public. Instead he has continued to choose to dance around straightforward questions (from Diane Sawyer and Larry King among others) and give ambiguous answers while still trying to capitalize upon it.
pay close attention
to #163
He has made definitive statements about the web cams pictures and tabloid rumors. Called them bull@&%#!!!
kamal
No. Read it again. He calls the reporting “bull@&%#!!! journalism”. One can easily understand he would feel like that since it continues to be parts of his life he doesn’t wish to admit too, come to light or be scrutinized. You can call any reporting that you don’t think is newsworthy that.
He still has not made a clear, definitive yes or no statement about his sexuality since before all these things became public.

Clay said that for all of their EFFORTS to be on the cutting edge and the forefront of bull$#@& journalism that they have to recycle and rehash TALL TALES.
He specifies that they are not true by calling them tall tales. He makes it clear that the taboid rumors are fabrications.
i wish clay haters would just give up
quite frankly, these pro-gayken stalking haters are getting on my nerves. i honestly don’t know why they try so much, and why the idiot clay-haters without a brain believe this bullshit.
clay didn’t have to write that letter to his fans, people who know about the creators of the tall tales should know that these were all fake and fabricated from the very beginning. if i go to one more site that has a tall tale of clay aiken having gay sex or interaction with men which never happened in the first place, i’m sorry, but i’m going to have to wish something awful to happen to all these people that are running clay’s name to the ground.
get a life, and grow up. move onto something else.
Clay's Blog
I think Clay wrote this to display to his fans, in his own “snarky” way, that “to hell” with them all. That people will believe anything they want no matter what.
So he decided to have a little fun with his fans, because he knows they are very creative and to give them something to concentrate on until he announces his tour. I don’ t think there were any real motives behind it except to say “ignore this cr.p” and let’s have some fun with it!
It is very well known on his fan site that what is posted there should stay there, but someone put it out there when they shouldn’t have. So now we have a new story on “what was meant by this blog?” Nothing, absolutely nothing, except let’s have some fun of our own. To make more of it really is ridiculous.
wtf
wtf does “pro-gayken stalking haters” even mean?
to 169
that’s what we also call clay-haters. they want clay to come out so they’re always bashing him and then coming up with “evidences” in saying he’s gay, which is where i’m getting stalking from. and haters, obviously because they hate clay. so if you put the three together
1. they think clay is gay and want him to come out
2. make up bullshit things about clay aiken
3. obviously they don’t like clay aiken
….
so that is how clayhaters are also pro-gayken (want clay to come out already) stalking haters.
get it? oh well, this is the best i can explain to you.

Who really cares about Clay’s sexualtiy? The kid can sing. Clay needs to just let it go! The kid can buy and sell all these homophobs ten times over.
If he is gay….don’t go on line for a hook-up. Do a Rock Hudson number….if he doesn’t want to come out.
He needs to tell them to go to h… Keep making good music and touring so those of us who appreciate talent can enjoy his talent. Clay, stop sitting on you leg when on television…..act a bit more macho…

Clay has said he is done discussing his sexuality so he doesn’t need to “let it go” It is the stupid gossip sites, haters and tv media who keep bringing it up.
. He has made it clear that the webcam rumors are bull@&$#! Fabrications!
can someone please help me out at IMDb.com on Clay Aiken's board?
It’s always been out of control ever since clay’s appeared on TV. These obsessed pro-gayken hating tyrants are taking over the entire message board without allowing any other people who are actually there to talk about other stuff.
I know the really obsessed clay haters already have a bad name, but there are two posters in particular who will not stop and the sole reason they are on clay aiken’s board is to talk about how ugly, fat, gay, feminine, etc. clay is.
i know there are clay boards only, but this is getting out of hand and nothing is being done about it.
if you’re a clay-hater, but have a brain, please tell these lunatics to stop. we can’t discuss anything else without it turning into his sexuality. and i dont think claymates should have to leave an open discussion board, but these tyrants are unreasonable.
frustrating but true

I don’t know what the IMDb.com board is but I do know the mods on many boards allow members to bring up and his sexuality no matter what the subject that is being discussed is.
Ignoring the haters and keep posting the good things is about all anyone can do.

You have to admit, of all the American Idol contestants, he certainly generates the most discussions!
No matter what you think of this man, he really is interesting. He has so many sides, nerd, amazing singer, intelligent, humanitarian and smacks with controversey.
I can’t wait to see what he does next!

thanks, heh. i’ve tried ignoring them but there are just too many. the actual site to what i was talking about is http://www.imdb.com it’s like a facebook or myspace (i dunno if u know what that is, facebook i mean) but for celebrities. if you type in clay aiken’s name in search, it will come up.
yeah, clay definitely is the most interesting american idol guy ever, i mean the ones i see now are pretty much the same, even with the girls,….the guys kind of are too, in a way.

Better journalists than you have tried for years to find real dirt on Clay Aiken. It’s like finding proof of microscopic flying frogs on Mars. There simply isn’t any.
I think the real issue is society’s sexual stereotyping and gender role confusion. If a man or woman doesn’t fit into some narrow, arbitrary standard of masculinity or femininity, ignorant presumptions are made about them. This creates a hostile environment for human differences and, in Clay’s case, has generated a kind of bizarre other-land where everything he says and does is filtered through some very misguided, destructive beliefs. Clay has never self-identified as gay, so those who insist his own words about himself must be false are merely illustrating their sexual prejudice toward those outside their own artificial standards. That such easily faked “evidence” can even be considered “journalism” is laughable and an indicator of how far the bar has dropped for integrity in the media.
Clay Aiken is not perfect and few people expect him to be. But there’s every reason to believe he is who he says he is and little reason to believe the other-land tales about him. The issue has never been that his fans would not accept him if he were not straight. The issue is with the immorality of individuals and the media being free to attack and abuse someone over their presumed sexual identity without being held accountable. What is so unreasonable about accepting the man at his word?

Before I am misunderstood, when I refer to the immorality of individuals, I am not referring to sexuality, but to honesty. In my opinion, it is immoral for a person to be free to lie about another person and it is immoral for the media to be permitted to do so. It makes no sense: Elton John can sue a British tabloid for calling him “rude” and Kate Winslet can sue for suggesting she went to a diet clinic, but in America Clay Aiken has to prove malice for even the most vile slander. It’s shameful that American laws do not protect a person from having their name and reputation for integrity damaged in the public forum. Clay goes about his business, living his life, but it seems wrong that there are no apparent consequences for those who try to damage his livelihood with rumors. Again, I believe this freedom to attack celebrities is a symptom of a much larger problem. Anyone deserves better, gay or straight.
