After repeatedly dodging questions about his sexuality and despite the rumours, former “American Idol” singer Clay Aiken has now admitted he is a gay man in an interview with People magazine which will be online Wednesday.
He had insisted previously that his sexuality was nobody’s business but his own and in 2006 when ABC’s television’s Diane Sawyer asked him flat out, he told her off saying it was a “really rude” question! He also shrugged the same question off in a previous interview with People magazine saying that people “are going to believe what they want.”
The caption on the latest PEOPLE cover reads “Yes, I’m Gay,” and underneath is a quote from Aiken on his decision to come out of the closet that says: “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”
In August this year, Clay’s friend, music producer Jaymes Foster, (sister of record producer David Foster) gave birth to the baby fathered by him.
I wonder how his fanatical fans the Claymates will react to this revelation?!
