When those living outside the world of Claynation take notice of what a certain America Idol runner-up writes on his blog, it’s usually the beginnings of a singer-on-singer controversy (which ends with apologies). But Clay Aiken doesn’t only blog about fellow reality show contestants. He also takes on legislative bigots!
Yesterday, Clay updated his legions with this news in a post titled “Warnings”:
I’m a little late on this one, but… be careful. Don’t breathe in around me!
In debating the School Violence Prevention Act during a legislative session, NC General Assembly Minority Leader Skip Stam (R*-Wake) said that “explicitly protecting gay kids from bullying would lead to pedophilia and gay marriage,” The man, who has obviously come unhinged from reality also argued that gay parents are “more dangerous than second-hand smoke.”

I hope I haven’t caused any health problems for any of you!
What a dumbass!
Do enough of you guys live in southern Wake County to help him lose his job next year?
Once a closeted homosexual, now a homosexual advocate calling on his minions to do God’s work!
(Thanks, Sam!)
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.

Good for Clay! I hope he follows through! Let’s assign a celebrity to take down each and every bigot in every legislator. It might be effective and fun!

Why the hate queerty? Atleast he’s doing something positive. Damned if you do…

“Why the hate queerty? Atleast he’s doing something positive. Damned if you do…”
Right? This place has become like the last 20 minutes of Boys in the Band on a constant loop.
Kyle
Good for him! Every voice counts.
AlwaysGay
Cheers for Clay! Every gay person’s voice and work is needed in ending anti-gay bigotry.
Sam
WTF is happening at Queerty? It’s never too late to bring awareness to gay equality issues. Would you rather he do nothing?
Jake the libertarian
I don’t particularly like Clay. It is nice that she finally came out as a lesbian (as if the hair do left anyone to question). But I will echo the rest of the crowd here. She is doing a nice job of calling out a bigot. Go girl!
jd
It saddens me that Queerty readers no longer understand sarcasm. Almost (though not all) of our purported “negative” commentary is a joke. I actually *love* Clay for doing this, but find it ironic.
Let me know if you need me to start adding a “BEGIN SARCASM / END SARCASM” note.
Tim and Earl
Heterosexism in our Queer community is more deeply rooted than in the heterosexual community, so is harder to overcome within ourselves. Therefore we are our own community’s worst enemy. It’s “divide and conquer” made easy for those who seek to keep us oppressed.
BradSA
Bravo Clay! He is taking his place as a gay rights advocate and standing up against bigoted politicians. Give him his props, Queerty.
sal(the original)
good one clay,true true
RobinNYC
Oh…we get sarcasm. But sarcasm in the absence of any other trait just seems like unrelenting negativity.
Hillary
You go Clay! Thanks for adding to awarness.
BradSA
Someday Queerty will write about Clay without the tabloid shit, sarcasm and unfounded rumor mongering. I look forward to it.
Cam
Glad he’s finally doing something. I wish he would have done it when he was still at the top of his game. Better late than never.
Z reveals
Good for him!
COLIN
Second hand smoke is a new one I haven’t heard before. Good for Clay calling out this idiot.
Marty
@jd:
Yes……….we understand sarcasm….too bad you don’t know how it works. If you think you are being sarcastic, you need some lessons!!
You don’t like Clay Aiken. You have made that perfectly clear for a long time. So………..you get called out and you “pretend” that it is sarcasm.
Sad……….Clay is doing much more for the Gay/lesbian community than you are doing.
Vickie
As a fan of Clay’s, and a member of the GLBT community, I am especially glad to see his comments on this.
But more than that, I’m touched and encouraged by how many of his fans are behind him 100% on this. It’s inspiring them to ask what they can do to counter this kind of bigotry and hatred, and make the world better/safer for ALL children. They are appalled that thinking like this still exists in this day and age, and they are outraged that a man like Stam can attain this position of power, and spew his hatred in a setting like this, and influence public policy in any way to even the smallest degree.
It’s spurring them to action, and that is a very good thing.
Kel
That Skip Stam is an idiot of the highest order. He should not be holding any legislative position with his bigoted comments. I’m just thrilled I’m not part of his family or friends. He’s an embarrassment.
I’m glad to see that Clay spoke up about it. Good for him! I hope he continues to speak up about issues that he feels strongly about.
If more people spoke up, maybe people like Stam wouldn’t hold the positions that they do in the first place.
drew brown
Nice work, Clay. And, JD, seriously? You think we don’t understand sarcasm? I think you don’t understand it, because this did not read like sarcasm. It read like snark.
BradSA
Snark
n.
1. Biting, cruel humor or wit, commonly used to verbally attack someone or something.
2. Combination of “snide” and “remark”.
3. Use of sarcasm with malice in speech.
Tanner
Sarcasm?? Come on Queerty. You don’t like Clay Aiken and it doesn’t matter what he does, you will find fault with it. It really is a shame that our community is our own worst enemy. We have a gay celeb willing to help educate the public and rally his hetero fans and this is a problem???
He is a young man with many years to help our causes. It seems to me that he does more good than many of our other gay celebs or better yet, all those closeted celebs who do nothing. Give the guy a break. Geez…
BradSA
I want to know why Neil Patrick Harris or David Hyde Pierce, to name a few, are not vilified for having been in the public eye, and in the closet, for years and years? Why is Aiken treated so differently? He is younger and came out sooner than those other 2, yet it wasn’t good enough or fast enough for you?
Aiken is making a difference in how gays are viewed and accepted by his hetero fans. This is huge! He is a gay father, a children’s rights advocate, a UNICEF ambassador and now is standing up for gay rights. What the hell more do you want?
Marvin
Really, it’s hard for me to see anything but positive in this. Are you guys just congenitally opposed to seeing anything good in anything? Lighten up!
Martin
YEA FOR CLAY!!!! Encourge the man to continue this good work and encourage other high-profile folks to join the ever-expanding wave…I think I recall something about “America the Land of the Free” and “Long may the Flag wave over this Land of Liberty.” Let’s prove it true… use those *platitudes* to OUR advantage… and may no one have to hide in the closet, ever again.
raf
Sarcasm?? Let’s try irony.
Isn’t it ironic that your site which claims to be all about “the gay agenda” belittles a gay celebrity for speaking out against bigotry and homophobia and Clay Aiken, that you hold in such disdain, is actively supporting and helping advance equal rights for gay people/parents. Now there’s some irony! Guess you can add that to your so called sarcasm!
lani
Good for Clay. These bigoted homophobes need to be called on these ignorant remarks and he seems to be one who is doing this. So what, he didn’t come out until last year?? There are lotsa, lotsa gay entertainers who were older when they were forced out, and still lotsa gays who still are closeted. It’s their choice when to and why the criticism?
newly open minded
Clay Aiken is doing the right thing; he steped up to the plate when Trya Asked him to present her GLAAD award and he wrote his own speech and again when he posted an intellegent blog for prop 8.
This agenda ‘stuff’ is serving no purpose.
Lisa
Yes, I will freely admit I am a fan 🙂 but I have always been for equal rights & have always thought for myself. Don’t usually comment on these articles as I think they are generally just bait.
But, I kind of understand why you think there it is ironic. He himself has said he is late to the party. Now that is out will he ever be accepted in the gay community? I don’t think so and that to me is sad. Maybe he will use his voice and no one will listen simply because he chose to come out when he was ready not when others thought he should.
Bill S
I just love the fact that he used the word “dumbass”. He seemed like such choirboy I couldn’t picture him swearing, even mildly.
But YAY Clay! I hope he becomes more OUTspoken. [Ya gotta admit-he IS less embarrassing than Perez.]
jay
Aiken has always spoken out on a variety of causes, especially bullying, disadvantaged children, special needs, education, UNICEF. Some chose to listen, even if it wasn’t a gay issue, some did not. He is relatively informed, articulate, intelligent, and not unwilling to say something unpopular that others may have thought but didn’t say. I’m not a champion of the man but I do recognize that he is just as worthy of speaking his mind as the next, regardless of his timetable of coming out. It’s really irrelevent…we need visibility on the very real issues (not some dumbass trying to make some news/kudos for himself (PH, natch), and someone who is directly affected by those issues speaking up is very much worth at least listening to before dismissing based on past opinion rather than content of the viewpoint expressed.
ALL need to work to rid our government, etc., of the stupidity of Stam and his ilk. Aiken at least is willing to step up.
newly open minded
@Bill S:
Yeah, OUTspoken! He’s getting there.
When he was asked, this question, by a fan on his Official site.
“Who would you most like to slap upside the head???”
Clay’s answer was:
Ann Coulter
Let’s all do it together!
Many of us had to google Ann Coulter, but the point is, we did, and we’re learning, and most of us want to be supportive.
Don’t push us away, educate us instead, as he is trying to do.
Lance
Queerty, your sarcasm sucks! Somebody speaks up for the gay community and you sit on him. I’m appreciative that Clay Aiken isn’t afraid to throw that loser under the bus. Pretty scary that someone like that holds a public office.
Vickie
He also educated many of his hetero fans when he responded to a question on whether he had ever donated blood.
He said he has not, and gave a link to an article about how gay men who have been sexually active are not allowed to donate blood.
jay
While I am appreciative some have learned from whatever information he has shared or linked to, I hesitate to assume all his followers are ill informed or need enlightenment. I would imagine some are very much vested in equal rights and supporters in their own right, regardless of Aiken’s own sexual orientation. But good on those that chose to stick around and be willing to opening their minds and hearts. Says a lot for hope of future of less of the stupidity we currently have, no?
Vickie
Jay,
You are correct. Many of his hetero fans were supporters or advocates for GLBT rights long before Clay even auditioned for AI.
But, the point many of us are making is that he is educating the ones who weren’t. Most especially, it’s been amazing how many fans had negative views of GLBT people before Clay came out, but b/c they love and respect him, they re-examined long-held beliefs, and are now wanting to help.
Vickie
ETA: And even those who have been fighting for equality, who were already “on board,” didn’t know about this particular incident, and it has fueled them even more.
Brian
It’s never too late to start speaking up.
Good for Clay Aiken! We need all the voices we can get.
Josh
Queerty, give it a rest. Clay Aiken has the potential to change minds. He lived the life of a gay kid being bullied. I believe he knows of what he speaks. He is pissed off and I for one am glad. Kudos to him for putting the word out there. He didn’t have to blog about it but it was the right thing to do. He may be late to the game, but the man has balls. He’s on your team…get it?
whatevah
People can identify with Aiken, he is the boy next door. Makes him a great spokesman. So what if like someone said he’s late to the party, he is at least bringing some friends and supporters with him.
K Harr
Good going Clay! More people should speak up against these bigoted fools.
As some have said above, Clay may have been late to the party, but as far as I’m concerned he should stick around. Great to see someone that has been bullied not only as a child, but even as an adult by 3/4 of the media, take a stand and speak out.
Huh
Have to agree with everyone – – If this is sarcasm Queerty – it’s sucky sarcasm. Such as Queerty fancies itself a champion of gay rights and slayer of all who seek to advance those rights. See – Sucky. Just like yours.
Jeffrey
Please, Queerty – given the caliber of the other posts you think we “might also like,” do you really expect us to believe you’ve been in any way objective about Aiken? Gimme a break. Nice try, calling it sarcasm. Any gay guy who comes out on the cover of a mainstream magazine holding his newborn biological baby has big cujones for sure and deserves major kudos — the world needs more gay role models like him, even if he was, as he said, “late to the party.” Well, not as late as some who have missed the party altogether.
Lay off him already and give him some credit for trying to use what influence he has to change things for the better.
scott ny'er
@RobinNYC: Bravo!!!
Here! Here!!
J Mann
Jd I find you comments a bit uncalled for, Clay just came out to his fans not to long ago. Give the guy a break. I’m sure there are many issues in the past few years on Gay rights he wanted to share, but could not at that time. It is because of Clay that I am more aware not only on bullying but on Equalatiy, I am proud to be a fan.
Mike
I just looked at the top and the articles you think we might like to read about Clay…..Could your hatred of someone be so transparent??
Thank goodness for Clay and his intelligence. He has helped me come to grips with my life and I know he has helped others.
You, on the other hand, still ridicule good people. There is nothing funny or sarcastic about attacking a good person.
You need to stop and look at yourself in the mirror and ask what good thing you did in the last month?? Can’t find the answer?? I am not surprised!!
polou
Ckay is a day late and a dollar short on this issue. Maybe he’s been too busy changing diapers or chasing men, so he’s been behind in the news.

There’s nothing wrong with a gay man chasing men, the last I looked, and changing diapers is what parents do. Someone wiped your shitty ass for years, right?

Clay is looking good…or is that Laura Bush? Just playing ya’ll.

Glad to see that so many people see thru the Queerty lingo. Clay has always been a very decent man and his coming out has given him the freedom to speak out more and more. I don’t know many gay men who haven’t struggled to come out especially if they were celebs. Queerty, you need a reality check. Your hatred for Clay is very outdated and it is time to take a good look at yourself/ves. Go Clay! Keep speaking out and advocating for what is right and others will applaud you. You have a voice in so many ways and you use it as you have always asked your fans to do. Anyone who thinks Clay hasn’t had the balls to speak out on what he believes has not followed his journey but rather judged him prematurely. The LGBT community is fortunate to have him amongst their ranks and should show him the respect he deserves. Late to the party? Nah! He arrived when he was ready just like the rest of you and you know it! I’m just not getting the HATE. Clay Aiken is a loving, caring, generous man whose talent has been tainted by people like Queerty. I’m not sure why but it saddens me.
andy
@jd:
What you need to do is examine why you hate Clay Aiken and get some help because your hatred is pathological. It’s been going on for a very long time. Reminds me of Perez Hilton.
lifeofthecity
@Mike:
Mocking celebrity culture in no way indicates a flawed character, but vicarious triumph and starry eyed capitulation does.
Mr. Aiken has proven to be only shrewd with his attention and charity, nothing else.
BradSA
@lifeofthecity:
Oh, do you know him personally, or are you relying on tabloids for your information? Many do. Its a regrettable habit for far too many people in this culture.
lifeofthecity
@BradSA:
No, silly, it would do you well to read with concentration.
“Many do” lack objectivity within the media dimension, and oftentimes let their emotional attachment to industry figures dominate their will and opinion over, well, most important subjects. I don’t want to elaborate right now, you just would not understand..I already know that.
markim
@lifeofthecity:
“Mr. Aiken has proven to be only shrewd with his attention and charity, nothing else.”
Yeah, he was just being shrewd when he went to Afghanistan for UNICEF. Please, save us your ignorance and get educated before you post.

Glorifying another’s work instead of humbly performing your own is fascinating to me. Before you list all your good deeds, don’t.

My grandfather died from smoking. He did NOT die from gay people. Shocking, I know! I’ve been around gay people most of my life, and OMG- I’M STILL ALIVE!!! How could this be possible?!?!?
What an idiot. Good for Mr. Aiken for shedding light on this asshat. Skip Stam (what kind of name is that???) is officially on my shit list now.
muse
Good for Clay, glad he takes a stand on some of these issues and glad he’s influencing some of his fans for the better. How did an idiot like that representative get to be in such a position of power anyway? Sad. As a gay parent, I find it particularly revolting.
It IS interesting how Clay has become the gay man it’s PC to mock and bash. Straight or gay, you can make a nasty or homophobic slur against Clay and everyone just laughs and thinks it’s hysterical. It makes no sense (especially given that he seems to be a good, talented, and generous guy). Bullying, homophobia, discrimination–none of those things are laughing matters but as long as we do unto others what we don’t like to see done to ourselves, the issues persist.
markim
Not sure where you think you are coming from since you have no clue about me but let me say that you are an arrogant ass. I happen to admire people who care enough to do the work that most shun and fear. When did you last reach out to a third world country and provide some much needed attention to the needs of children. Please get over yourself.
invisible_ink
The original issue was, and still is, putting an end to bullying of children. When so-called adults start sniping at each other, trying to advance their own opinions or agendas, it’s the children who lose.
CHILDREN NEED TO BE PROTECTED. (In school, that is usually from other children.) Focus on that fact. Energy is wasted when people squabble among themselves — or among social factions — and get caught up in their own issues.
Remember the children. They are the important ones.
Marius
Mr. Stam, the target of Clay’s warning is serving his 5th term. His constituents don’t seem to have a problem with his lunacy. Maybe that’s the bigger problem.
Since Clay finally gave up the charade, I’m glad he’s exposing people who mouth such toxic garbage.
No matter what we may think, there are people who listen to him.
pepper
Why are you mocking Clay again? When did you openly admit tou were gay? Were you bullied as a child by classmates? If you haven’t read Clay’S book “Learning To Sing” I suggest you get a copy and read about Clay’s life as a child, then you won’t wonder why Clay was reticent about coming out. This young man has endured more pain than most..it;s a miracle he survived. Clay is still being bullied by the press..no matter what he says it is dissected and examined word for word. I’m not surprised that Clay is pissed off at a dumbass who doesn’t know how bullying kids has led to suicide, cutting themselves (so they don’t feel the pain caused by classmates) drug addition, prostitution and other vices. I’ve worked in the mental health field for a number of years and have learned first hand what bullying can do to young people. Dumbass should talk to someone who knows about bullying before he says stupid, unimformed statements.
Chris
That’s it. I’ve had it with Queerty’s negativity. Time to get my gay news elsewhere.
Anonymous
Good for Clay. Stam is a dumbass.
Joe Mustich, Justice of the Peace
@pepper:
Well said.
Lisa
@invisible_ink:
thanks for the reminder. Hopefully the point about the kids being bullied is not lost here.
Clay doesn’t need his fans to defend him. He never has.
AR
Clay Aiken is an intelligent man who knows the political landscape. He is interested in politics and watches CNN daily. People are not aware of this. Now that he is out I think he will surprise many people.
Mike
Yes……….the important topic is to get that ignorant man out of office and how we can help.
But, I do not blame Clay fans for rallying around Clay. The headline for this article and the other articles written about him are all so negative. WHY??? More emphasis would be on the topic if Queerty was fair in their reporting.
AR
Saw Clay Aiken do an interview where he sat though the news and where the newscaster was fumbling for the names of politicians Clay jumped in and gave them and what they stood for. The lead news person said they should hire Clay as their political pundit.
Sean
Aiken deserves all the criticism that Queerty can dish up! Let’s not forget that just two years ago, Aiken gave a concert in a southern church that’s well known for its anti-gay views. It’s so well known, in fact, that they wanted assurances that the gay rumors about Aiken was not true and he was indeed heterosexual. He provided them with those assurances, causing a letter to be written on his behalf. Clay is the WORST KIND of gay man; he ignored the gay community for years while he pretended to be straight. Now that he can’t pretend that anymore, he wants to exploit us for publicity.
Benjy
Sean, you are full of crap. That church has many kinds of concerts in their music hall – pop, gospel, R&B – it’s a concert hall, idiot. The church pastor said he got ONE letter from out of state protesting them letting Clay sing there. ONE. And it was probably written by YOU.
Even while publicly closeted, Aiken was out to everyone in his life, friends, family coworkers, neighbors & encouraged his fans to accept EVERYONE. He employed other gays & publicly stated to his church, fans & EVERYONE that he believed that God loves & accepts gays & therefore everyone else should as well. He’s NEVER been against the gay community – it’s some in the gay community who’ve been against him for simply living his life & coming to his own acknowledgment of himself when it was right for him & his family – just like everyone else in our community is allowed to. There are hundreds if not thousands of prominent well-known gay celebrities who haven’t come out for decades. How about ragging on them for a while & leaving an OUT & PROUD brother alone?
Linda
“Aiken deserves all the criticism that Queerty can dish up! Let’s not forget that just two years ago, Aiken gave a concert in a southern church that’s well known for its anti-gay views.

Sean, are you a person who is gay. If so, I can’t believe you could criticize someone for coming out of the closet when they personally felt the time was right. Although inroads have been made, I think coming out of the closet takes a lot of courage for any person who is gay & esp someone in the public eye who may have a lot at stake.
Clay did do a Christmas concert at the church in Wichita, however, I think the assurances you mention are a myth …. you can’t believe everything you read. BTW, I was at that concert as were several people who run that church …. they were thrilled to have him.
And, I think Clay could have continued to pretend (to use your words) – he chose not to.
His fans are very supportive of him & his causes & that goes for being gay & living it ….
FWIW, that bullying law was passed inspite of the biggot’s comments.
Patrick
Skip Stam is pathetic. It’s good of Aiken to call attention to the bigot.
As for Aiken, I say live and let live. You can’t hold the past against someone forever. There’s enough high profile people STILL hiding in the closet that are happily doing NOTHING for us. If he wants to enlighten his fans and others about GLBT causes, I say go for it.
kfccanada
@Vickie:
Good comment, girl! Although it’s true that many of Clay’s fans have deserted him, myself, and many others, have not. A person should not have to be ‘nonhetero’ to appreciate the unfairness that society has demonstrated towards a significant segment of our society. In all honesty, this ‘segment’ accounts for a HUGE proportion of the artistic talent in the entire world. It should be obvious to all, especially those who love the Arts and Culture aspects of our society, that the world would be an exceedingly drab place were it not for this valuable segment of society.
It’s sad that one has to fight so tenaciously for the mere crumbs the government tosses out towards this group. And, yes, you must keep up the good fight for the sake of your kids. Clay is fighting for the rights of his son, as well as the rest of those opposed by unfair laws. If only every gay person had the courage to stand up and say ‘Yes, I’m gay! God made me this way! Who are you to question God’s decision to do so?’ Society would be shocked to see the HUGE numbers of people they are actually living and working with each day.
Best of luck to Clay!
whatevah
To those ragging on Queerty, at least they posted the blog about this Skip Stam guy. A negative slant gets more traffic, you all know that.
Who cares what they think of Clay as long as they get the word out about a bigoted elected official who thinks bullying gay kids is okay. Clay knows he’s going to get slammed no matter he does or says. It ain’t right but it is what it is. He doesn’t need or want you defending him. By doing so, you drown out the message.
I’m glad the bullying bill passed and I hope Clay and friends can get this bigot out of the NC House of Representatives.
Mike
#79 WHATEVAH Standing up for negative blogs is standing up for bullying. You say you want the word out about kids and bullies, yet you condone bullying on the internet.
Kids will continue to bully as long as they see adults doing the same. As long as we allow Queerty and PH to bully, it is a lost cause!!
whatevah
Hmmm, Mike, don’t know where you got that I “condone” bullying. Do you really think defending Clay on this blog is going to make Queerty and PH stop? They do it to stir people like you up so you’ll come to their sites and give them hits. Do you still not get that after all these years?
penny
I will not address the writers meaning to the title of this article or their desire to “maybe” make fun of Clay Aiken.
I will address the fact that Clay is never afraid to speak his mind, whether you agree or not. He seems to be an intelligent and well informed individual who is willing to take a stand, popular or not. I admire his spunk! He seems to not be afraid of being “popular” but following his confictions. Yeah maybe he was late to the game but he seems to making up for lost time now. Good for him! Bigotry is a travesty in any form!
Josh
How anyone can condone bullying any human being is disgusting. But to condone bullying a child who is gay crosses the line for me. The damage and hurt that comes from it can last a lifetime. It can create serious lifelong problems including suicide. I hate to say it but with our country electing assholes like this, we have a long way to go.
MizJulie
I’m so happy right now.
I’m happy that Clay has finally become the political animal I always knew he would be.
I’m happy to see that assholes like Skip Stam (good lord, sounds like his Mama consulted a gameshow host name generator) are being exposed for the bigots that they are, and people are responding appropriately.
But at this moment I’m most happy to see that members of the gay community are supporting Clay Aiken’s right to be himself, whether or not they have ever been fans of his, and telling off those who continue to insult him for “fun”. You curse him for being in the closet (as if you’ve never been in one yourself), you curse him for coming out, then you curse him for *being* out. Piss-poor way to treat family, if you ask me.
Ben
ok, Queerty, now, I understand you guys are being sarcastic on most of the “negative” things, but i’ve got to say, sarcasm really doesn’t transfer well via text unless you show that its sarcasm, otherwise you all just come out looking like elitist jerks, so please, if you could either hold off on the sarcasm or just try to tell us when you’re using it, it would be much appreciated!
Girl Please!
FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, GET THOSE EARS FIXED ALREADY SO YOU CAN STOP TRYING TO HIDE THEM WITH THAT RIDICULOUS HAIRCUT!
Jon
#86 What a dumb post. What does that have to do with the topic? Oh….I get it…you were trying to bully someone with your stupid comment.
Clay Aiken is not afraid to speak out on things that are not right. He know whatever he says will be published somewhere, yet he feels that it is important to speak out and maybe lose some fans. That takes guts!!
