According to Perez-Hilton.com, this will be the cover of Wednesday's People
Magazine, in which Clayton is featured. (PerezHilton.com / September 23,

Clay Aiken has apparently confirmed that he's gay.
What appears to be the cover of the forthcoming issue of People magazine was
posted on the gossip Web site perezhilton.com yesterday. Aiken is posed with
his new son, Parker Foster -- who was delivered via a surrogate -- and a
headline proclaiming, "Yes, I'm Gay." The subhead continues: "The Idol star
opens up about his emotional decision to come out: I cannot raise a child to
lie or to hide things."
A call to Aiken's representative was not returned.
A representative for People magazine neither confirmed nor denied the
cover's accuracy, MTV News reports. "We can confirm that Clay Aiken and his
son are featured on the next issue of People," the rep said, adding that the
complete story will appear today on the magazine's Web site.
Aiken has been defensive in the past regarding his sexuality. In an
interview with Diane Sawyer in 2006, he called her "really rude" for asking.
"I don't understand why it's any of your business."
Interviewed by MTV News later in 2006, he said, " who I'm dating and what
kind of cereal I eat ain't gonna benefit anybody else," he said. "That kind
of thing is not important. I think there's a distinction."
Aiken, who was the runner-up on the second season of " American Idol," is
currently appearing in "Spamlot" on Broadway.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

I'm sure homo posters here like Hass already knew this. He now feels
the need to attack posters who are just reporting the facts!

Didn't everyone pretty much know that already?
Hell, Kathy Griffin made it part of her comedy routine for years now!
