Clay Aiken thinks that no one cares if he's gay or not. That's ALL we care about! You're this lanky red scarecrow clownish gay and we just want the facts. You're utterly fascinating! And you've found yourself in this situation where your biggest fans are round middle-aged women who will quit your ass if you ARE gay so you can't come out. It's tragic but completely engrossing! We totally care about that. Otherwise, you're just...Wayne Newton?
Aiken told Access Hollywood that his sexual indentity is inconsequential.
"People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever. They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," he adds. "I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."
I know you gave yourself a lesbian haircut to throw us off the scent, but it didn't work! He knows if his Claymates get one whiff of his homosexuality, it's over, Johnny! Whiff? It's like a big gay stinkcloud!
Aiken says the initial speculation about his gayness on the Internet and the media was "difficult."
The second he comes out, no one will give a shit. It's just that our country is so fixated on people's sexuality. Probably because America is so repressed. Europe has hookers for mayors and no one bats an eyelash.

we don't care because we already know he is and it was never that interesting
Enid says:
I love the Gayken. His voice is beautiful. And you're right, if he ever comes out, his biggest fan base will desert him.
So, let's leave him alone.

You're so right! He knows his fans care about this issue b/c he once had to shut down his fan club message board over the infighting over is he/isn't he. If you read some of his fan boards you'll see that his fans are very, very vested in his being straight. Mooning over him is everything to them. Too bad he doesn't have normal fans who appreciate him for his talent. He must feel like he's in a pressure cooker.
Happy fan says:
On the other hand, he has a LOT of devoted fans who are just fine with him either way. Whatever his orientation, he's yummy and so talented! Yes, a vocal minority might get their noses out of joint, but who needs them, anyway?
Molly says:
So if his fans are so homophobic why did they raise so much money for Broadway Cares?
And if you were to find out he wasn't gay, would you jump off the roof?
