One of my closest friends is a gay man I’ve known since college. I’m glad Clay had the courage to come out publicly. Every gay person should wait to come out when he/she is ready, however long it takes. I think it must be a very hard thing to do. Yes, even in the 21st Century. And for some people it’s more difficult than for others. We’re all as different as we are alike.

I’ve always enjoyed Clay’s singing. I like many different types of music. And I agree with Duke’s post that Clay’s voice may be the best one produced yet by AI. (Certainly, one of the best.)

With a new son and starting another stint on Broadway, I hope the best is yet to be for Clay.

Have to add, as others have said, being gay really shouldn’t be an issue at all. It’s a personal matter, like being left- or right-handed. YAY for Canadian Idol, where it evidently wasn’t an issue. Hope AI will catch up.

Wow! He only came out to his mother four years ago! Maybe he had his own problems in dealing with this truth and that is part of the reason for the long delay in admitting it to the public. Either way, I’m happy for him that now he can be open about himself without fear.

All I have to say is: It’s about damn time! Seriously, the world knew for (I don’t know, forever).
It baffles me that in the 21st century, there is still such a stigma attached to homosexuality that people feel the need to attempt to hide who they are.
Kudos to him for the public outing, although I don’t really think it was necessary.
LOL at mrcritic1980′s comment and Amen!

Oh my goodness, that is definitely Clay’s baby! No doubt about it. Wonder if he’ll have a beautiful voice like his Daddy?

In other news, George Lopez is Hispanic, Conan O’Brien is Irish, Mel Brooks is Jewish and the Pope is Catholic.

How shocking.

Good for him, but to think all these years…

Well I was a bit surprised, even though I was prepared. I thought he was asexual, like NY Magazine intimated.

I just honestly hope for a day when somebody could walk into Idol saying, Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œIÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m gayÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ and win with it not being an issue. I doubt we will see that day in IdolÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s lifetime.

It just happened this year on Canadian Idol. Yep. Theo Tams made a couple subtle, yet pointed references to his sexual preference during the competition and then…it was time to move on to the singing. And then he won. Pretty awesome. Maybe it’ll happen in America some day.

To make such a huge splash about this is just so . . . well . . . gay. (LOL)

I’m relieved for him. I think he probably felt like he would be letting down part of his fanbase. Now that he’s got a kid and an unconventional family, it was either hide more/deny the obvious, or just come out with it. I agree with MJ–his life is going to be way easier now. I’m actually a bit surprised that there are so many people interested in this tid bit that it warrants a two-parter interview on GMA and a People cover. There are so many entertainers who are gay–it’s just not that big a deal.

The reason he didn’t come out before was because his fans were so protective of him…and clueless. It was always so funny to me the way the Claymates would rush to defend his hetero-ness. People always remember that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…it’s gay. Take it from a duck.

It’s awesome he can be a dad with honesty. I’m happy for him that he finally let it all go. I’m sure it’s a huge relief in some respects. His music isn’t for me but I could never judge him for when he did (or didn’t) come out. I just honestly hope for a day when somebody could walk into Idol saying, “I’m gay” and win with it not being an issue. I doubt we will see that day in Idol’s lifetime.

Of course, he’s gay. He’s very happy to be a dad.
