People posted the first excerpts of their exclusive interview with Clay Aiken telling the world that "Yes, I'm Gay."
"It was the first decision I made as a father," Aiken, 29, tells the upcoming issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday. "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."
Aiken says he expects the news may overwhelm some of his fans. "Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," said Aiken, who returned to Broadway last week as Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot.
He adds that he hopes his fans "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all. … But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me."
Hopefully they won't leave him because that would be a really stupid reason to desert him and they weren’t true Claymates in the first place.
In the article he also discusses how he told his mom the news.
The born-again Christian singer also reveals how he told his mother Faye he's gay four years ago. After dropping off his younger brother Brett, who was being deployed to Iraq, at Camp Lejeune, "I started crying in the car," Aiken remembers. "It was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don't know why I started thinking about it … I just started bawling. She made me pull over the car and it just came out."
So what was his mom's reaction? "She started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting." Even now, Aiken admits, "She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she's come a long way."
Looks like the media was outing him way before he was outing himself. I really hope that his uptight Claymates don't desert him for being who he is. I know I am one Claymate who has no intentions of leaving him!!!
To read the rest of the article and to see more pictures of Clay and his son Parker pick up People on newsstands this Friday.

Constantine Maroulis, Taylor Hicks and Ace Young all got together to wish Taylor Hicks luck as he ends his stint in Grease on Broadway and hello to Ace Young who is joining the show. Not sure why Constantine was there, but probably heard press was going to be there.
Where are the Broadway Idols like Clay Aiken, Fantasia, Diana DeGarmo and so on and on and on?
BTW hopefully that is the last we will see of Taylor Hicks.

When I saw the cover art for Kellie Pickler's new CD that is out on September 30th, I though it had caption me written all over it instead of buy me. So go ahead and give her self-titled album a title!
